My issue with this: McClain's $40,000 fine still standing and Merriweather's being reduced. Merriweather was being fined for both hits on Heap that game making it a fine for multiple offenses in the same game.

Yeah, plus Merriweather's seemed a lot more egregious than McClain's. Maybe in a couple of months, Jameel's will be reduced, too? Just odd that they did it so long after the fact.

im not against them reducing the fines but they should have redid all the fines to match not just those.

Why did they reduce Meriweather's fine?

He's a repeat offender that has been cheap-shotting people all season. He should've been a prime candidate for suspension for outrageously dangerous hits.

I think McClain appealed his fine so perhaps they are waiting for that process to reduce it. I agree though that Merriweather's hit(s) appeared intentional and it is obvious that McClain's was not. It was just unfortunate.
