I Didn't Realize that NFL stood for No Flaming Orange Cleats League

NFL Roger Goodell deputized the Lions secondary to ensnare Bennett to make sure he and his orange cleats did not escape justice.

It came through the wire this week that DJ Moore would be fined $15,000 for his retaliation against Matthew Stafford, during which Moore was ejected from the game. This was only 33% more than Earl Bennett was fined for the game, whose unconscionable crime was wearing sweet non-NFL regulation kicks for the second game in a row. One could imagine that if Bennett were to wear the shoes a third time, the fine would be equivalent to what Ndamukong Suh would receive if he snaps Cam Newton's neck this Sunday in the manner of Steven Segal in those Under Siege movies.

Some other things fifteen thousand bucks can get you after the jump:



A Honda Fit

Hilary Duff's Gym Bag (for those pervs out there with money to spend)

15,000 McDoubles (this is undoubtably what I would spend it on)

1 year contract for Bernard Berrian (calculating by what he would be worth if Moneyball was about football rather than baseball)

Was the fine fair or justified? Probably, especially how Stafford has also been fined $7,500. Every time you go after a quarterback in this league (or well, any player the way that Moore went after Stafford), you are going to take a hit. Stafford's play was malicious, however, and it is nice to finally see a QB not get the benefit of the doubt for once when it comes to fines in this league.

Final Commissioner Judge Dredd Penalty Fine Roundup:

Lions
Kyle Vanden Bosh: 7500
Matthew Stafford: 7500
Rob Sims: 7500
Nick Fairley: 15000
Total: 37500

Bears
Earl Bennett: 10000
DJ Moore: 15000
Total: 25000

The Lions are 1.5 more dirty than the Bears. JUSTICE SERVED.
