3 Dolphins teammates fined for celebrating

[Sunstroke]

If I was a player and Goodell decided to escalate the situation if I sent him rolls of pennies to pay my fine, I'd grab a sack of those penny rolls and smack him over the head with it a few times.  We'll see how he stones up after that.  

You have such mad people skillz...

[Phishfan]

Tommy why do you continually talk about hitting authority figures? It's one thing to make a statement like paying with pennies, but to continually think hitting a ref or the league commishiner would accomplish anything other than getting you banned forever is crazy.

I thought it was funny that Long came over to join in and after remembering he had no rhythm he  left.

Another smart decision by the Rookie. I like that. He certainly could afford it though..........

[Defense54]

I believe the money is automatically deducted from the players game check. That's gonna hurt Ikechuku Ndukwe , if Brown wants to seriously be a Team leader he would pay that fine. Lesson learned.

He makes what, $400,000 ? Is that the league minimum?  Poor guy.

Ndukwe is in his fourth year, so minimum salary is $520k (as of this season).

If a $10,000 fine hurts him that badly, he is not managing his money wisely.

Because unlike most people, I'm not afraid of the consequences.

He makes $370,000 a year.

Take out his Agent , taxes, other expenses adds up quickly when living amongst Millionaires.  That's almost 4 x what the ordinary Joe Blow makes .  So lets divide that bad boy up by 4x.   I know I couldn't afford a $2500 fine for something so stupid. could you?

I know you guys like to argue with me on everything , and that's cool but you really should think before you speak.

a) Which is right?
b) If he knew he could get fined he shouldn't have done it.
and
c) I still don't feel sorry for him, I got myself and my family to worry about.

Again becuase you don't read the entire post:

God forbid he let his emotions make the best of him, we all know mind set has nothing to do with the game*.........

* Sarcastic 

c) I still don't feel sorry for him, I got myself and my family to worry about.

Then STFU and don't complain ever again about a lack of enthusiasm in the game.

Fined for dancing , WOW..

The No Fun League needs to chill out

Because it is easy to talk mad tough over the internet.

a) Which is right?

The article Defense linked is correct. The minimum salary for a 4th year player is $520k a year, as I wrote, but since Ndukwe was only on a ROSTER for 4 games in 2005 (incl. offseason) and 2 in 2007, those seasons don't count. It takes a minimum of 6 games on the teams active, inactive, IR or PUP list for the season to count.

So, in terms of minimum salary, Ndukwe only has 1 accrued season (even though he first cracked a roster in 2005).

The minimum salary for a second year player is $370k.
