Thread: Report: Wilfork to be fined for hit on Cutler

If the tables were turned I would be beaming with pride over Wilfork. I want BAMFs on my defense. Sorry if that desire offends anyone. Not really.

Well, except if he became a Bronco, he'd get flagged for that kind of stupidity. Rightfully so. I didn't like that crap when Romo did it for Denver, nor do I like to see Harrison, Wilfork, and others get away with it. Play the game within the rules. If you bend the rules, take your lumps, fines, and suspensions. Like the rest of us (who are not politicians) have to. If you want to see that kind of crap, there's always real sports like roller derby and WWF.

No kidding. Sounds like fines aren't enough. I think he needs some time off and without pay.

From PFT:

WILFORK WILL PAY $35,000

As we reported on Wednesday, Pats defensive tackle Vince “I’m Not A Dirty Player Because I Take A Bubble Bath Before Every Game” Wilfork won’t be suspended in the wake of his most recent episode of unnecessary roughness, which came in the form of an elbow to the head of Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler.

We’re now told that Wilfork will be fined $35,000 for his transgression.

Based on a salary of $1.4 million, the fine is roughly equivalent to 40 percent of a game check.

If Wilfork doesn’t make good on his vow to change his ways, the next step undoubtedly will be a suspension.

If the guys has repeated violations, this is pretty light for punishment IMO.

Uhhhh how many fines does it take before a suspension Mr. Commish? FFS....let's suspend the guy who is just under investigation for assault, but we'll just fine the guy who has actually done it. BRILLIANT!

Not when you know the facts. The tape Goodell viewed did not show any intent to injure by Wilfork.

In fact, after the play was over Wilfork helped Cutler get up off the ground and Cutler even gave Vince a friendly little tap.

For that Wilfork get's a $35,000 fine. Amazing.

Do you tell yourself these things over and over until you believe them?
