BS

Lol. They were fined for that?????

Goedart turning into that Will Hernandez of the Giants. Talks, talks, talks, then somebody retaliates and it’s wahhhhhhhh Mr. Referee sir

Before folks go down "that road" are these rules already on the books or did they invent them new for the Cowboys?

Pretty much automatic when you get flagged

Pretty much. Parsons fine is line with all other fines in that range. Diggs is random # no other player has been fined that amount this season.

BS

This league is a joke anymore.

Ironically, Philly has had 0 player fines this entire season according to this site

Which is dumb. They got a flag...why do they need a fine?

With an egregious hit or something really out there...i get it.

This is really stupid.

I know when I was watching the game, before they even threw the flags, I was yelling, "NO! STOP, YOU IDIOT!!!" at Parsons, and just, "NO, YOU IDIOT!!" to Diggs. So yeah, they earned their penalties. I'm not sure if every unsportsmanlike conduct penalty gets a fine, but I imagine so.

I understand Diggs a little more taking off his helmet. But is what parsons did really any worse than any celebration? No

For "unsportsmanlike conduct" only, I assume?

Yes, it is, because it was directed at an opposing player. I don't know what he said to him, but I'm sure it wasn't, "Hey bro, how's the family?"

So their coach yelling expletives at our entire team isn’t unsportsmanlike conduct? What a joke…

NFL charities / retirement fund, trying to make the monthly quota.

I am sure other players around the NFL got fines for theirs also.

I mean I understand that. But corners are always shaking a finger or doing the no completion at a receiver. I still believe it’s a judgement call as it came in super late

 

[Tangle_Foot]

I don't like it but players know the rules. We have to become more discipline. Can't continue to shoot ourselves in the foot with penalties. I'm not concerned about the money, the money doesn't hurt the team. It's the yardage given up, extending drives, or throwing a monkey wrench into our own drives. That's what bothers me.

I'd rather the player pay the fine and the team not get flagged

 

[Londonboy]

The NFL lacks consistency.
Diggs gets fined for merely taking off His helmet, yet Bob Lilly got nothing for throwing His helmet half the length of the field at the end of SB V.

I truly hope the opposing player recovers from "flexing." That must really be horrible to deal with.

If they're caught gesturing toward the opposing player, it's a penalty. They can get away with doing it toward the crowd, or their own bench, or whatever, just not toward the other team. Then it's taunting.
