Thread: Source: NFL fines Tampa Bay's Tom Brady $11K for kick

The NFL notified Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady on Friday that it is fining him $11,139 for attempting to kick Atlanta Falcons' defensive lineman Grady Jarrett during Sunday's game, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The incident occurred when Jarrett was flagged for slinging Brady to the ground during Tampa Bay's 21-15 win over Atlanta. Brady tried to kick Jarrett as both players were getting up, but he didn't appear to make contact.

Fines for kicking are $11,139 for a first offense and $16,444 for a second.

11k to Tom Brady is like 2 two cents to everyone else.

He'll take the fine while the refs call a penalty against his opponent securing a win late in the game every day of the week.

Those fines need to be based off of percentage of a game check/salary for that year.

Yes. Some kind of sliding scale would be appropriate.

But then there'd be complaints of "this play cost a guy 300,000 grand!!!!," and people would whine. It is what it is.
