Fined 5 grand for the LEGAL tackle of Vince Young.

ATFB - Absolute Total Fuking Bullshit

Agreed. I hate these fines that come after the game when the refs threw NO FLAG at the time. You want to fine someone? Do it to the officials, since apparently they missed the call.

This will just fire up old Silverback even more. Not a good week to be a Buc

I'm sure he would gladly pay another 5K to do it again!

Good. Remember the fines Ward got in '08? World champions. On either side of the ball, when the Steelers are on, fear is a factor, and Silverback is instilling fear once again.

2 more steelers got fined for that game, during the scuffle that happened after a play. ward and kemoeatu.

it was a fight, so this i can understand (since it's not football), but a legal hit on another player when the play wasn't whistled dead yet, that's bs

Agreed. I hate these fines that come after the game when the refs threw NO FLAG at the time.

As Jeff Fisher mentioned after the game, "if that was Tom Brady, they would have thrown 7 flags". In addition, if that was Brady, you can bet your ass that Harrison would have gotten a 1 game suspension. I hate the random enforcement of rules depending on who you are. BR7 takes more late hits than any QB in the league... WITHOUT a flag being thrown.

The NFL gave Harrison Defensive Player of the Week for the game, and then they fine him five grand for a legal tackle he made in that game?

I have to admit... when the play happened I didn't realize Silverback pulled out
one of his infamous Suplexs. I think the Refs had no idea what happened as
Young got mauled by 3 black & golds at the time, but if you go back and rewatch
the play a few times, good ole Silverback pulls out his famous combo move not
seen I think since he last used it on a Bengals receiver (TJ?), and of course the
annoying Brownies fan. While it cost him 5k I must admit I'm sure it was worth
it to him... can't tell you what a smile it brings to my face to see it again.
Thank you Silverback.... and Fisher is a big azz whiner.
