Go ‘head say it with me….NFL = No Fun League. C’mon fam. A fine for this?! Pretty soon it’s going to be no hits and flag football. SMH. Ridiculous.
Bears rookie LB Jon Bostic was fined $21,000 today for his hit on Chargers WR Mike Willie. If you haven’t seen it yet, it was an amazing LEGAL / clean hit.
Check it out & along with the details after the jump & let us know what you think….
Via ESPN:
The rule in question involved Bostic lowering his head and making forcible contact with a defenseless player’s body, the source said. This wasn’t a violation of the new “crown of the helmet rule,” according to the source.
Bostic hit Willie’s chest region after a short pass during the Bears’ 33-28 win Thursday. He separated the receiver from the ball, and the pass was ruled incomplete. Bostic was not flagged on the play.
The rookie out of Florida is scheduled to earn a $405,000 base salary in 2013 in addition to a $1,246,036 signing bonus, which means he’s basically losing a game check. He can appeal the fine.
