Quote:I wonder if this will happen?  I hope so. If you take his base salary of $400,000 and divide it by 17 you get $23,529. They basically fined him his entire game check. That is wrong for that play. Penalty? Fine. His whole friggin paycheck? That's just wrong.

 

Yes, for a player of his pay scale it's a completely absurd fine on a benign play.

 

Maybe it's something that's passed the league by, but I can recall players saying they'd have a collection to pay for fines if the locker room liked the guy and/or thought the fine was unmerited.

 

Seeing how Telvin plays I have to believe he's well liked and the fine was clearly unmerited.
