What utter BS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pollard did NOTHING wrong! What about that hit on Pitta?? Oh I forgot, the league is soft on the Patriots. It probably pained them to no end to fine Brady a measly $10K. What a friggin' joke this league is

Stop it! Are you serious? WTF Brady tries to castrate Reed an gets 10k. Pollard lays a hit perfectly wiythin the rules and gets fined 15.2? Man if he was a rook and not already a millionaire I'd argue we take up a collection to help pay it.

Apparently it was for the hit on Welker, no Ridley. I'm going to have to see the video before I rant.

I just looked at one video and it did not convince me. Something else should show it better.

How much money has Pollard been fined to date?

**Phil11** · 01-25-2013, 08:28 PM

Pollard should get a roster bonus, or at least a cruise.

Hmmm... how bout the ability to say "I'm goin' to Disney World!"

**RavenMadness** · 01-26-2013, 08:03 AM

38% of his AFC Championship check went to pay for latest fine... unreal

Nice! Hopefully he'll lay the wood on Kapernick a few times and make him think twice about running with the ball.

I don't think Kapearnick has faced a defense as physical as the Ravens.

**sailorsam** · 01-26-2013, 11:33 AM

speaking of Brady being fined...
don't recall who (think it was a Colt) but somebody in the playoffs was fined 10k for having his socks too low.
guess that's the NFL's equivalent to Brady's spike heel.

I will say that Seattle has a pretty physical defense. However, Seattle doesn't have Haloti Ngata. How many guys have we seen timid after getting hit by Ngata?

...or drop a hot load in their pants seeing a freight train coming untouched!!

Pollard will be a great asset in the Superdome....

It should be noted that the most "vicious strike" of the game was by a Patriot defender that snapped Dennis Pitta's head back but was unpenalized imagine that!

Pollard made an excellent tackle but the NE running back actually brought his own head down forcibly to meet Pollards and knocked himself out!

Golly Gee. I guess that's why they wear helmets!

"The hit was within the rules, but it's precisely the kind of collision the NFL would like to get rid of -- players lowering their heads into contact and sustaining concussions".

And so the media turns a simple football play into fuel for a campaign to further pussify the game we love.

For which Ridley should have been penalized 15 yards in addition to the lost fumble.
