Here's a chuckler. The Bears offensive lineman that got into a fight were fined by commish Paul Tagliabue because "the league's special conduct policy addresses off-field matters. It specifically prohibits conduct that endangers NFL employees and casts a negative light on the league and its players."
Whoa that is a pretty broad policy. Wonder why none of the Love Boat Vikings were fined for a incident that definitely cast a negative light on the NFL? Did Ray Lewis get fined for his murder trial? What about Rickey Williams? Do ya think there might be a double standard??
Bears linemen fined $50,000 each for fight
December 9, 2005, NEW YORK (AP) -- Chicago Bears offensive linemen Olin Kreutz and Fred Miller were fined $50,000 each Friday for a fight that violated the NFL's personal conduct policy.
The players were involved in the fight last month at the FBI shooting range in the Chicago area, prompting an internal investigation by the bureau.
