    Whatever. I'm so beyond taking flags and fines seriously anymore. Lawyer it up.

    That's dirty play. Harrison played tough, but he was not dirty.

    Might explain why Colon carpet rubbed him. That is dirty and he should probably be suspended. That is definitely intent to injure.

    Yep, should've been suspended. That fine won't teach him a damn thing. The simple fact that he did it twice in the same game puts it over the top.

    Yeah, definitely dirty. I'm okay with a fine the first time. The second time should be a suspension.

    You kind of have to wonder if he decided to do that on his own, or if there were little birdies tweeting in his ear about it. Bounty gate 2.0! Haha! I kid, I kid!

    He did it twice in one game. Should have been a $15,000 for first offense, $25,000 and 1 game for the second. Too bad for him that he did both in one game.

    I don't mind hitting hard and knocking body parts around, that is the violent game that we watch. Intent to injure beyond the normal play of the game just boils my pot.
