With Rodney Harrison done for the year -- and maybe forever -- New England's Vince Wilfork has happily assumed the role of the league's dirtiest player. It's quite an impressive resume, really, and Wilfork's latest antics, a forearm shiver to Jay Cutler's noggin two Monday nights ago, earned him an all-expenses paid trip to New York to visit with Commissar Goodell.
Speculation had Wilfork likely receiving a fine and even a suspension for his latest transgression, but as MDS wrote this morning, and Mike Reiss later confirmed, the Patriots nose tackle will only have to write the league a check and he can get back to the business of illegally maiming opponents.
FanHouse sources* confirm that Goodell would have leveled a much stiffer punishment had Wilfork danced while perpetrating this disgusting act. Because, as the league has made perfectly clear, all crimes are not created equal. Cheap-shot head trauma is one thing; shaking your booty is something else entirely. And it WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
Plus, the new NFL Punishment Plinko Board came up "Fine but no Suspension," further validating Goodell's instincts. Makes perfect sense, really.
This concludes another edition of Arbitrary NFL Sanctions That Deter No One.

Well, it's not like Jay Cutler has anything in there to hurt anyway. Although Ed Hoculi might come after you if you try to hurt his golden boy QB.
But yet he fines Hines ward twice for no real good reason,..,.
THE COMMISH IS A PUNK.
whoever wrote this is obviously a denver fan and is not happy that my PATS just slaughtered them on monday night. How does it feel to lose to a team with a back-up quaterback. Imagine if we had Tom Brady, we would have won by 100. Denver, good luck next year, because even if you make the playoffs, the PATS will kill you!
your cheating ass pats should be striped of their superbowls, the broncos on the other hand earned theirs or took a loss like a man. The pats were so scared to loss they had to cheat, it reminds me of those punks that has to bring thier guns to a fist fight! Dont be bitter that you cant win in mile high,where true... football fans make their home!
Will
Would those be the same denver Bronco's that CHEATED ON THE SALARY CAP to keep the qb? What was his name again? Do you remember that? Do you remember the fines?
