Johnson (or Ochocinco, if you prefer) pretended to slip a dollar to one of the refs this past Sunday. He did it as a joke. The NFL didn't find it funny and levied a $20,000 fine.

I'm certainly not an apologist for Chad Whateverhescallinghimself (I think he's a clown) and in the aftermath of the whole Tim Donaghy debacle in the NBA, I can understand being a little sensitive, but seriously? Fines of 20 grand for this, and likewise 20 grand to Jay Cutler for essentially hurting a ref's feelings? Sheesh :sosp:

I agree the fine is BS,

I don't have a problem with Chad, clowns are suppose to be funny :party:

The NFL needs to pull that giant stick out of its ass

I think Stallworth got a raw deal. He passed a field sobriety test. The guy he hit was intoxicated far beyond what Stallworth was. On top of that he has to live with the fact that he's been at least somewhat responsible for the death of another person.

You think Stallworth got a raw deal? How about the poor guy he ran over? Hes the one that got the raw deal. He cant go back to work next year.

      He should've been more than a JAG, but Jeremy Chinn.  I was convinced he was our next defensive star

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
