Will he cut his hair.

[weather man]

That's a bunch of crap light hits him and nothing the Patsy,s.s are at it again cheap shots and nogoodell is up belucheats but.

[yeagators]

For someone in the NFL with boatloads of cash, how does Light have the yellowest teeth this side of Davie?!?!?!

[Atom]

What BS. Light was pulling Crowder's hair and punching him in the face. Light should of at the very least been suspended one game.

[Bill]

Big Boys will be Big Boys, the game goes on, the question is will Joey be setting on the side line, or will the coach be kissing his ass like last year? Bill

[Fidel]

can't wait 'till the next time they play. lol

[TJ T]

Ok, so the NFL wont let you tackle with a horse-collar but its perfectly ok to pull someones hair and throw haymakers? Thats just so @ss backwards it isnt even funny.

[Skillz]

What is Channing getting fine For? shoving? This is total B.S. He's geting punished for nothing. Players shove all the time after plays and he's get fined for it. I wonder if he can appeal it.

[dolfanman13]

What a joke! Both the same fine?!?! Light should have been suspended. Goodell is a turd.

[Ram]

The message Goodell is sending is that the players should retaliate. If the fine is the same you might as well get you licks in. Maybe if Crowder had put on a Patsie helmet, he wouldn't have been fined. I wonder if Goodell is gonna burn the tape of this game too.

Let them go at it like hocky players or boxers, so they can earn there money, thats why they get paid millions.

[John]

This is B.S.

They both fined the same amount when Light decided to pull hair like a girl and puch a guy in the head after he knocks his helmet off. Crowder runs his mouth then tries to avoid being punching bag and gets the same fine as the guy throwing punches?!?

This shows you EXACTLY where New England and Miami sit respectively on the heirarchy chart in the NFL.

Sad...Sad...Sad...

According to the NFL, Channing was fined for his verbal instigation throughout the game...quite honestly, he's a trash taliking punk like Porter - play the game, keep your mouth shut and win/lose with class - see Giants, Steelers, Patriots. Why do you think the Steelers cut that thug for anyway?

[crazymonkey]

O.K., girls. Just calm down and stop pulling each other's hair!
My question: "Is Crowder's color real, or Clairol?" Only Light knows for sure.

[I Hate Chowderheads]

Cassel will get his block knocked off by Blitzburgh Sun.

[Tim]

Watch the video again. Light pushes Channings head down and pulls off his helmet. When Channing bring his head back up his first reaction is to throw two hands to Lights face. The right hand clearly hits him. Then the tender footed light pulls hair and throws bombs. So I think Channing should have gotten a 5K fine not 15K and Light should have gotten a game off.

[Jim M]

Not very equal justice, is it? I don't even know why Crowder was ejected. Maybe Billicheck shows the commish more than videos of opposing teams signals-they may enjoy gay porn together.

[Gatorcountry]

Get is together fool!

[Susan]

once again, the NFL lovin the cheaters. Crowder did nothing except try to get away(that I saw anyway) yet Light punched Crowder without his helmet on and the both get the SAME fines. I think it is total BS...but that is JMO. ;)

[Susan]

above someone posted Channing got fined for his talking??? are you serious?? if that is the case shouldn't almost every player be fined. And what did they review the soundbites for the WHOLE game?? I thought they were "supposed" to review the fight? Again, total BS.
