Brandon Meriweather fined AGAIN, could be called to league office

Bears safety Brandon Meriweather has been hit in the paycheck once again for an illegal hit to the head on the field. And he may soon be summoned to the principal’s office.

The NFL has fined Meriweather $25,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Nate Burleson in Monday night’s loss to the Lions. Meriweather was fined $20,000 for an illegal hit last week and fined $50,000 (later reduced on appeal to $40,000) for an illegal hit last season.

The fact that Meriweather keeps getting fined is an indication that he’s not learning his lesson, and so the NFL might call him to the league office to explain himself. Peter King reported on NBC Sports Talk that NFL Executive V.P. for Football Operations Ray Anderson has become disturbed by Meriweather’s style of play, and that Meriweather may be required to have a face-to-face meeting with league officials about the matter.

At the same time, the Bears’ coaches have become disturbed by Meriweather’s quality of play, and as a result he’s been removed from the starting lineup. Meriweather may not get many more opportunities to make any more illegal hits — or any legal hits, either.

This guy is nothing, but a fuging pussy. And deserves to be suspended.

      Is Tua our next QB?

      He has a heftier contract than you would think. I think the issue is that the Texans will want likely more than he is worth. They are in no great need of trading him.  I am fine with Mills as a bridge attempt, no issue with that. I just don't want to be seeing top 4 round draft picks headed out the door, even considering our lack of ability to capitalize on them.

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.
