And Travis Johnson does not get find at all for his actions after the Trent Green hit, on and off the field.
It was a legal hit, but with the aftermath afterwards, i just don't get it.
The NFL needs to set out their priorities.
couldn't agree more..chad annoys me more than T.O., but to fine them and not the douchebag that is known as Travis Johnson???? makes no sense to me at all
There actually was some debate whether Green's attempted block really was legit... I mean he did go right at Johnson's knee. Unfortunately Green received a serious concussion, but the low block just as easily could have tore up Johnson's knee.
That said, Johnson's reaction was completely classless and sickening, and the NFL should absolutely punish him for it. It's one thing to be angry and to show it to a player able to defend himself, but to act like a tough guy when the other player is on the ground and obviously unconscious is stupid.
