Quote:In absolute terms, $25K is a lot less than what the fine could have been. But when you see his weekly paycheck is smaller than the fine amount, it does not look cheap.

 

I know broken necks sometimes cause paralysis. I also know Kevin Huber did not suffer any spinal cord damage and the vertebra is just "cracked." Terance Garvin would have been fined a lot more if Huber was paralyzed.

The money's immaterial when a player is permanently disabled.

 

Huber could have been paralyzed.  For that matter, he could've been killed.  Blowing up the punter's pretty cute until someone's in a wheelchair.

 

You and I have different ideas on what a substantial fine is, JW.  25k is nothing when you're pulling down over 400k a year, especially for something as reckless and stupid as what Garvin did.  We'll just have to agree to disagree on that, because it's purely subjective.
