Ok well I don't remember this ridiculousness happening under Tagliabue. And Roger is the head of the NFL, the final say, if you will, so he can go and say to Ray Anderson (assuming Ray is the person to hand out all the fines and what determines a fine) and say "Ray, don't fine ____ theres no need to."

To add to the fines, there now is inconsistency with them.

Brandon Stokley a few years ago grazed a refs arm like "Wheres that call?!?" and got ejected and fined $25,000.

Bill Belichick was fined $50,000 for touching the replacement referee on the shoulder like "Hey I want to talk."

Then we have Cary Williams who comes out of a pile and pushes the referee
and does not even get fined a penny...

I can also compare that Frank Gore is fined $10,000 the week prior to the super bowl for wearing low socks. So fashion is more important than losing your cool on referees, in the NFLs eyes of what is good and what is bad (what deserves a fine and what doesnt)
