Crowder and Light fined

[StL FinFan]

but not suspended.  I wonder what they do with the fine money?  Each man was fined $15,000.

Goodell is a moron.

[Dave Gray]

Total bullshit.

[jtex316]

Oh please, I don't even wanna hear it that Matt Light is the only one to blame here. Crowder CLEARLY shoved Light right in his face with both hands, and then he got his ass kicked. BOTH men were at fault, and both were fined.

[SportsChick]

Thank you Joe.

[Phishfan]

It was a bullshit fine. The guys were playing football and all of s sudden Light acts like an ass. There is no other way to describe it.

Light grabbed Crowders hair like a chicken shit bitch and threw punches which is a no-no by league standards and he should have been suspended. Whatever it is what it is!!!!!

[Fred Finstoned]

What I don't understand why they received the same fine. Crowder was pushing and shoving but, he never threw a punch and he was only attemting to get away! The league base fine for fighting is 10,000 yet he received 15,000.I know all you patriot fans out there think this means he is a pussy but, he did the right thing . If Light was kicking his ass why then after at least four blows to the back of Crowders unprotected head was he laughing? Maybe Light hits like a little bitch! If Crowder had done the same thing to God Brady he would have been thrown out of football!!!

[Dave Gray]

What Crowder did isn't even worthy of a penalty flag.  It was shoving, barely after the play, to a guy with a helmet on.

Light grabbed Crowder's hair and threw (and landed) three closed-fist punches to the head, with no helmet.

[Tepop84]

Goodell' s nose in so far up Krafts ass, when Kraft farts it comes Goodells ass.

[BigDaddyFin]

AAAAWWWWWW, the big bad Patwiot got fined by the weague.  I guess they really aren't anything that special are they?  All that propaganda bullshit about how this team was so different from every team in the NFL and that's why they're so much better?  They get fined do dirty shit and throw punches after the whistle like everyone else.

I didn't see from the replay what exactly Crowder did, I do know Matt Light is pretty stupid to rip a guy's helmet off and throw punches right in front of the ref and then act all indignant with that stupid look he had on his face. 

It's alright, we'll play them again next year. 

[NADS]

Looked to me like Light grabs Crowder's hair when the ball is snapped before pulling the helmet off.  I didn't see the shot to the face JTex is talking about...looks like Crowder pushes him in the chest and slides up.  How Light is not out at least one game is puzzling.  Guy on Sports Center said Crowder started it by talking shit.  Funny.  Joey Porter will be homeless then.  I think all fines go to NFL Charities.  Not sure though.  Regardless, equal fines for this altercation is a chickenshit call!

[Bubba]

I am sorry if you think Light kicked anyones ass you need your head examined. He started slapping like how little girls fight.  Crowder might deserve an unsportsmans-like for the push after the play, but that does happen  on nearly every play on the line. 

[Brian Fein]

What Crowder did to light happens in every NFL game, every week.  Why did Crowder do that, you may ask?  If you watch the play, Light was driving Crowder downward and dragged off his helmet.  Corwder returned with a shove.  Normally it ends there.

Not with Matt Light.  He grabs Crowder's hair and starts slapping him in the head.

I hope Goodell is consistent with his fines and fines everyone who ever shoves a guy after a play is over.

[Defense54]

Lets call it what it is. New England cant stand to lose another starter at this point so Kraft made a call to his ole buddy Goodell who is in his pocket BIGTIME. Thats why his head coach got off with a slap on the wrist for being a lying cheating Mofo. Pats Suck, and this shows that there Superbowl Trophies are not worth anything. They were helped there.

Crowder did not get anything kicked. He did the right thing thing by not fighting (not that it would have done shit with a guy with a helmet still on , BRAVE DUDE)

This also shows that teams can't take Joey Porter. He gets them every time and they are sick of it. So they are crying to the commissioner for verbal abuse. VERBAL ABUSE!  Can you believe this? Is this Football or High School girls tennis? Real men like Too Tall Jones and Mean Joe Greene are shaking their heads right now at what a pussie sport this is becoming. How does one get rid of a NFL commissoner? Can the Owners vote him out? Time for this Asshole to GO>
