An interesting read on the penalties and why they are calling them. Raven fans are not the only un-happy fans.

[POE]

Damn, thats a long read and the letters were really small. It amkes sense but it has these refs all flustered or something because they can't get nothing right scared that they will be fined.

Did you guys see Hines Ward got a fine for unnecessary roughness. Too bad they didn't call a penalty for it.

I don't think a fine does anything. These guys get paid millions. A fine probably means nothing to them. Unless they keep racking them up like our players do. I was actually shocked in the Pittsburgh game when Ray Lewis got penalized twice. That was the first time in a long time I heard him get penalized.

I totally agree. If they really want to get them where it hurts... for really flagrant abuse, they should suspend them from playing - even if they have to "rank" the abuses and hand out suspensions for quarters, then games.
