Colts | League Will not Fine Thornton
Sat, 15 Oct 2005 08:36:36 -0700

Mike Chappell, of the Indianapolis Star, reports after further review, the NFL determined Indianapolis Colts LB David Thornton's hit on San Francisco 49ers QB Alex Smith was not a fineable offense. Thornton drew a 15-yard penalty for helmet-to-helmet contact. Head coach Tony Dungy contended Thornton's hit was legal and should not have drawn a flag, let alone a fine. Thornton, though, was concerned about repercussions.

They won't fine him, but yet they fine McMike.

I can't figure out how TeBucky Jones was fined $5000 was a facemask that was NOTHING, and Thorton gets nothing after a helmet to helmet hit on Alex Smith.

It's because the NFL is very clueless at times.

:yes: It seems they've been very clueless about to who to fine, but they don't seem to have any trouble slapping fines on our players.
