[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 892037, member: 12570"] The NFL fined a number of players for their actions during games this past weekend. Most of the fines were for aggressive hits or offensive gestures but there was one fine in particular that has caused a stir. Pittsburgh Steelers star Troy Polamalu was pulled out of the game this past weekend due to a hard hit as he has a history of concussions. He decided to call his wife to let her know that he was OK. The NFL, which bans the use of electronic devices by players during games, fined him $10K for the phone call. I support the NFL on this one. A rule is a rule. I understand his reasoning for making the call--he wanted to ease his wife's concern; however, Troy could have asked that one of the coaches in the booth make the call for him. [/QUOTE]
