Lewis and Pickens fined. Lewis fined more

[DasTex]

Come on man....

 

[Reality]

So grabbing someone's facemask and jerking it downward, which could actually cause a physical injury, is less of a rule violation than hurting someone's feelings with mean words.

I guess Pickens is lucky that his injured feelings won't require him to miss any games.

What an absolute joke. That is truly pathetic.

Apparently he said something really bad?

NFL is soft.

Taunting, insults, etc. are part of sports. Things get said all game long in the trenches, but the NFL only ever cares when a player makes it obvious on camera.

If that had not been shown on live camera, neither player would have been fined.

I think he got fined more because he was involved in a lot more than that one incident. Like they said he was a menace vs Pittsburgh. He ate their lunch and dinner.

I still think it's crap lol.

Yeah I was being a bit tounge in cheek but the reality is there aren't any words he could have said that would justify a bigger punishment vs what Pickens physically did to him...there has to be some kind of scale that it came from

Yes...sassing another NFL player is WAY worse than facemask pull. Player safety TOP priority!

Finally...a COOL zeke joke!

 

[America's Cowboy]

It's not sad. Instead, it is frustratingly pathetic that the NFL has turned this soft!

 

[Coogiguy03]

Hey you do the crime, you pay the fine!!!

 

[Carson]

NFLPA limits first time offense amounts to 10% of a player’s game check which is why Pickens has a lower fine

That would be beneficial to the Cowboys. Doesn't fit the league agenda to screw the team every chance.

Im fine with this as long as they are consistent. I wish they’d do this on the field too rather than use the excuse of “we didn’t see the first guy”. Lewis instigated and got the higher fine. His money. I like the talking.

I'm pretty sure that's why he got fined, the league handed down this because it saw Lewis involved he was the FIRST guy lol
