These fines all go towards a charity of the player's choosing, so I really don't see an issue with them at least trying. The worst possible outcome is the millionaires give some money to a good cause. _________________

I feel like refs should be fined for hits they miss. Hold the refs accountable for not making the right call too since that's their job. Random thought and I think this is the best place for it. _________________

We're both plays flagged? I don't remember the Landry penalty.
Mularkey said the refs made incorrect calls on (I believe) Blackmon and Brewster's blocks that were flagged in the game. |
Yeah. Knighton for going Helmet to Helmet with Luck on the interception, and Landry for going shoulder to shoulder with Luck as he was sliding after a scramble.
Knighton's is the standard H2H fine, Landry's the standard for a clean, non-malicious late hit. |
Yeah, i really can't say i have much a grievance with either fine. Just 'cause Landry went and gave Luck a pat on the back and apologized after, doesn't make it not an illegal play.
Knighton's was kinda...errr, soft. But it's not hard to understand why it's a fine.
And honestly, it's really not a big deal. Player safety is important, and i seriously doubt these fines put either play out of house and home.  |

Fine them for missing them and for calling them wrong. _________________
