Levi fined 9.5k for “taunting”

I disagree. Lamar didn’t flip into a defensive player and get in his face.  Every team was shown videos this summer basically Levi’s denied hand move is fine, just not over the WR.  They knew.  Levi was stupid for not jumping up in a quarter turn in any direction beside standing over looking down at the WR, and never would’ve been called.  Past NFL officials have been on radio shows all week stating the point of emphasis and they cited Levi’s move which is benign.  You just can’t stand over the receiver looking down at him doing it.

 

some may not like it but they were told.  Just like Josh was told he can spin the ball in the end zone, but can’t be facing the defensive player.  I knew it was getting called as he was doing it.  I was at a bills backers bar, and I’m yelling no Levi.

 

I understand football is emotional.  I played and coached, but if I’m shown video of what not to do, I’m not doing anything to hurt my team.

He wasn’t even flagged I don’t think 

No, but look for strongly worded 'letters to the editor'.  And conditional draft picks for the Patriots*.

How in the world is signaling that the pass is incomplete taunting, when your actual job is to make sure the pass is incomplete??? Is it taunting when the pass receiver signals that he CAUGHT the pass? Is it taunting when the running back signals that he was down before fumbling? Nope! It’s their freaking job! It’s NOT personal against the other player!

Man that's rough. If you have to fine a player why can't it be a certain percentage of their game check instead of a fixed rate for the infraction. 5k plus on Levi Wallace is painful for someone making 1 mil per. If you'd fine Jalen Ramsey 5k he'd probably laugh it off. Seems like the right call by rule.

Wow, that's insane. And such a strange amount, 9.526. Like how do they work out that specific amount?

 

And why was Wallace's taunt only 5k less than spitting at an opponent?

Seriously? Spitting on someone in most work places is considered an assault and usually charged as such if the victim decides to press the issue.

In the Covid era, it is assault. I would totally press charges.

I think you’re kidding.  Clean hit and did not pancake him. That would’ve pissed me off.  Hi hit was textbook about how t give a legal punishing hit.  Sorry the guy was hurt, but I love a little legal nasty.
