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.
I don’t think the other incidents played any part in it. Lewis was the instigator and he got fined more because of it. The one who started it should pay the heaviest price.

It's an officiating culture problem. Gotta always stick it do Dallas with excessive penalties every year, and uneven fines and suspensions.

NFLPA limits first time offense amounts to 10% of a player’s game check which is why Pickens has a lower fine
Don't worry, I saw your posting of fact in the midst of uninformed knee-jerk "outrage."

According to a witness, Lewis told the meanest "your momma is fat joke" during the exchange, so he gets the bigger fine. All good.

Lewis instigated it so he got fined more.
Exactly, I saw this happen and immediately knew something was gonna be done by Roger. Yes, Lewis instigated it and so not shocked at all. Stupid really.

$1025 difference.
Otherwise known as the "He Started It" fine.

Do the fines go to a charity of the player’s choice?
All fines go to the Christmas Party fund held at Commish Goodell's house every year....lol

Kidding. I think they go to various charities licensed with the NFL, or something along those lines.

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.

It’s Pickens’ first fine which is limited to 10% of their game check.

Still pretty stupid, though.
