Two more Steelers were fined for their involvement in a fight near the start of Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.
Hines Ward and guard Chris Kemoeatu were each fined $5,000 by the NFL for separate offenses during a skirmish between the teams following the first play from scrimmage in Nashville.
Ward told the Post-Gazette he was fined for “excessive face-masking” and Kemoeatu said he was fined for spearing after he said he came to Ward’s defense. The scuffle among a group of players broke up after an incomplete pass to Ward on the right side.................

I just read that Finnigan is being fines but he's appealing it. Isn't he the one that started it?

I'm not sure, but I know he was significantly involved at least.

he damn well better get fined! No the player who had the ball hit Hines in the back of the head first then Finn stepped in, but Hines was only protecting himself. Touch football League.

IIRC, they were pissed off that Hines was going for a tackle on the guy that picked up the fumble and they all jumped him. Let Goodell dole out his BS fines and the organization should pick up the tab.

So the one who punched Ward in the face isn't getting fined? He was the one that started the whole thing...Typical

Titans' players were fined, too.

Just because we get punished, doesn't mean that it's totally unfair. It's not like we're the only team getting fines.

The whole thing started when Ward was trying to tackle someone who picked up a loose ball and was running with it. I just don't get it. Now you can't try to bring anyone down who picks up a turn over? The guy with the ball hit Ward with it. That should be and I hope was the first fine handed out.

Finnegan is a little dick weasel. I would have loved nothing more than to have seen Hines clock him. It would be worth the 5 grand. :applaudit: Yes - Finnegan started the scuffle so it's only right that he get fined as well.

Goodumbell is taking this league to the shitter. :upyours:

Ward did nothing more than contain the player by holding him around the neck....when Finnegan (sp) got involved and came after Ward, Ward owned him but did nothing wrong imo.

What about the guy that shoved the ref? He should have been ejected.

I agree, but you think Bouchette would include that information in his little snip-it. I think he intentionally left it out to get us (fans) all bitching.

What's even funnier is that Finnegan is after Ward's "dirtiest player" title... strange.
