He probably should have been called for it but the fine is out of the question. SmootSmack 09-23-2004, 04:47 PM First I've ever heard of someone getting fined for a face-mask. If he had been penalized would he still have been fined or was this the NFL's way of making up for the non-call? MTK 09-23-2004, 04:56 PM jeez was it really that bad? He turned his head a bit but he didn't have hold of the mask for that long, initially he did but his hand slipped down to the pads. Seems a little ridiculous. Arrington is definitely a marked man. Hail to the Redskins 09-23-2004, 05:11 PM Tis is absolutely absurd... If you saw the replay, you could see A) It was OBVIOUSLY inadvertant and B) He grabbed the mask for all of .5 seconds with one (maybe 2) FINGERS! Then his hand DID grab the shoulder pad... thats what twisted Barber and cause the hip-flexor... what a rediculous fine.

I thought what Trotter did to Feagles was much worse Daseal 09-23-2004, 06:06 PM Much worse or not - it was LEGAL. Just like the hitt Sapp put on the Green Bay guy. It wasn't necessary, but it was legal and you are often taught to clear people out when you can. As far as a fine I'm sure he'll appeal and get it overturned. Mishaps such as facemasks will happen in a contact game like football. The No Fun League needs to stop fining people for seemingly no reason. That Guy 09-23-2004, 06:08 PM trotter can kill a punter and get away with it, but lavar can't accidently two-finger a face mask?... bleh, that's just crap... Gmanc711 09-23-2004, 06:47 PM Are you freaking kidding me?? It wasent even called a penalty. How bad could it have been? Hogskin 09-23-2004, 06:59 PM It was NOT bad at all. What a bunch of crap. He surely will appeal. No way that nonsense will hold up. I agree with Smack, it sounds like a makeup for the missed call.
