If the NFL wants me to buy any of these fines on defensive players as being solely motivated by players safety, Braylon Edwards better be getting a fine, both for spearing the oncoming tackler and jawing about how he is a word that cannot be repeated in polite discussion as he walked away with said player holding his head on the ground.
I don't mind sending a message, but if Edwards dosent have to pay a large fine, the message is "offensive players saftey is important to us, they sell jerseys. Defensive player, pee in the wind."
