    With the NFL handing out fines left and right ....

    Do you think Poz will get fined for twisting Marice Jones-Drew's Helmet around backwards?

    In all honesty I kind of think he should. That could have been really bad and if that happened to Lynch we all would be screaming for a fine.

    No, it was unintentional.

      He may but I don't think it was intentional.

        if you watch the play he didn't mean to do it to injure the player it was kinda both of them twisting and going in diff directions...if he gets it he gets it but i doesnt look like it was meant to hurt drew

          It was not intentional, but was reckless.

          Like Voltron said, had Peterson done that to Lynch we would be screaming.

          A small fine (say $10,000) would make the point and be fair.

            Actually I wouldn't because I would realize it was UNINTENTIONAL.

              yeah, if there are fines for over the top facemasks, this one would qualify. The guy's helmet was on backwards because of it. i've never seen that happen in the NFL. I don't think of Poz is a dirty player or meant for that to be done intentionally.

                I don't care that it was unintentional, it could have caused a very serious injury and players need to remember that even if it was unintentional grabbing a face mask and twisting it around 180 deg. will not be tolerated.

                    Where does this "fine" money go? When Police pull you over, the money goes into their budget to provide safety services. What does the NFL use these fines for I wonder.

                        For consistency they should fine him.

                          im giving poz the benefit of the doubt but exactly how do you twist a guys helmet completely around without knowing youve got your hand on his facemask? id hate to think he just held on because he figured he was already getting a penalty
