Both Jason Babin and Dominique Rodgers-Cromarite were fined by NFL for incidents in last week's 27-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Babin was fined $15,750 for unnecessary roughness, which the league found to be a horse collar tackle. It was not penalized during the game. This is Babin's second fine in three weeks.

Rodgers-Cromartie was fined $7,875 for unnecessary roughness, which the league determined to be unnecessarily striking an opponent late. Rodgers-Cromartie was penalized on the play.

appeal! since when do horse collar tackles draw fines? if it wasnt called in the game, too bad, can't challenge penalties. if there's ever been an instance of a fine for a collar tackle, ok, but i've never heard that before. for DRC, appeal! a late hit got flagged and the birds were penalized. end of story. what evidence is there that this hit was intended to be malicious? late hits happen all the time, they draw flags, and that's the end of it. this is totally the No Fun League.
