Demarco Murray fined 21k

In 20 years football players will be wearing flags around their waists.

I'm betting on 10 years, but you made a great point.

So the NFL went the entire year without flagging an RB, panicked and dragged Murray into their example plan. Stay classy.

I knew it was against the rules, but it was a great moment in the game. Had we won, we would've been laughing about that one all night. I think there should be a rule against fining a player when no penalty was called. Fine the officials or don't fine anyone for a missed call.

I would rather see a fine and no penalty. Let a player decide how light he wants his wallet to be (not that 21,000 is really lightening his up) and let the game be played hard on the field.

I still say that it was a shoulder.

He did me proud that play. I loved watching over and over again.

Now that's what I'm talking about....as a fan. They have got to stop this kind of thing. I cringe every time I see him do that.

Absolutely ridiculous rule.

Everyone can try to justify what Murray did but it's the rule that's absurd. Only AP and Murray do it and they are trying to take it out of the game

OK, looking at it again ... he did dip his head down right before contact, but I still say the way that Square came in to tackle him is what makes it look so bad. Square is going in high and when Murray tries to cut and ends up turning into him, Square isn't balanced to absorb the blow.

That's football. Don't take it out of the game.

for his hit in the eagles game lol

Not only is DeMarco Murray watching the playoffs this weekend, his wallet is lighter for a hit last week.

The Cowboys running back was fined $21,000 for leading with the crown of his helmet during last week’s loss to the Eagles, which kept the Cowboys out of the postseason.

It was a huge hit on Eagles defensive linemanDamion Square, flooring him in the open field. But it was clear at the time Murray would be making a donation.

What hit ?

I never like to see that play, especially from defensive backs. Over the history of football there's been so many broken necks from leading with the crown of the helmet. Who cares about Square, Murray could have been hurt, seriously.

Total BS rule. The Tyler rose would have never got a paycheck.

What about some of those blindside hits that Sean Lee took? He got jacked up! But, he's injury prone...I heard it right here.
