NEW YORK -- The St. Louis Rams and Carolina Panthers drew a total of $47,250 in fines from the NFL for their chippy game last Sunday.

Rams defensive lineman Chris Long received the biggest fine Friday, $15,750 for unnecessary roughness for throwing a punch during a skirmish in the third quarter of St. Louis' 30-15 loss. Long was penalized and ejected after he was caught swinging his right hand at Panthers guard Chris Scott as players from both sides were pushing and shoving.

 

A pair of receivers -- Carolina's Steve Smith and St. Louis' Brian Quick -- were fined $7,875 for striking an opponent in the face. Also docked $7,875 were Rams guard Harvey Dahl for a late hit and Panthers safety Mike Mitchell for taunting.

 

 

What the hell did Smitty do? Obviously says he hit someone in the face but I didn't see it. Surprised that they waited this long.

Damn!

Still nowhere near as much as what ndamukong suh draws in 3 minutes of football

Mike Mitchell was fined 7k for taunting is stupid. Every player makes some sort of gesture when they make a big play and he did it on the sideline directed to the clouds.

Yeah, I was about to say that. That's like a quarter and a half of football for Suh.

[carolinarolls]

Pay it jerry and don't ask any questions.

[Razeyfingers]

Money well spent. . .ohhhh ho ho ho. . . Rams. . . ho ho ho ho ho

[bigskypanthersguy]

Still very much struggling to understand how the hell Dahl wasn't ejected.

[PanthersClinic]

It was an ugly game and Smith should've probably received a taunting fine as well.

 

I don't understand all the trash talk and extracurricular stuff. Panthers were dominant. Let the scoreboard do the talking.

The play where he shoved Jenkins in the face and then did the matador move.

Fines are stupid and pointless.

You cant stand over a player in which Mitchell did.

[csx]

If there is a rule about taunting I would say Mitchell broke it.

Fines are stupid and pointless.

 

Eh, I wouldn't say pointless just because the fine money does go to charitable organizations and also can support retired players programs.
