Fines in Preseason?

There's some opinion that the shot on TB was dirty (I haven't seen it yet, game comes on in 30 minutes). I haven't seen it, but supose it was an action that warranted a fine.

Does/would the league actually impose one?

I assume one of the reasons for imposing a fine is as a deterent. If the guy is flipping burgers next week (I don't know who it was &/or how likely it is that he'll make a roster), it is arguably unreasonable to fine him big $ (Don't these fine usually amount to like $25 or $50k or more. (I think you get fined like $5k if your socks are too short or something.)) and he therefore won't be doing that action again.

Personally, if it does warrant a fine, I say you fine the guy his weeks stipend along w/ a preseason game check, my guess is this is like $2k (assuming he's someone not likely to make a roster). Then again, perhaps they can wait to see if he does make a roster & if so then fine him the full amount.
