Ryan Clark fined 15K for hit vs Patriots

i thought gay shoved him out thrn gay lrt up and clark came out of nowhere. I remember ryan and i instantly said that will be a flag and a fine

I have access to all the games in HD (the joy of living outside of the states :) ), and I can go back and find it for you if you want? I can tell you though, he was out when Clark hit him so the penalty was warrented. I guess the fine is as well compared to how they have been handled the last couple of seasons; He hit a TE out of bounds, leading with his helmet, as he was going to the ground. Its pretty much as wrong as it gets. That said, there was really nothing wild or malicious about the tackle as such. The one Clark made later in the game on idontrememberwho was much harder and most probably hurt a whole lot more.

The stadium went nuts when they threw the flag on Clark. Initially it looked like he wasn't completely out of bounds yet when Ryan gave him a shove. After the review we still didn't like it but it is what it is.

I'm not denying that it happened. I just don't recall it happening. But like I said, I didn't have a very good view of the play so I don't know.

He was out of bounds and it was a bad play on Clarks part he has to be smarter than that, the owners agreed to pay for the past players health insurance and this is how it is gonna get paid through the players, What's more shocking to me is that this is the 10th player fined on our team,look for more fines this Sunday night...

Yeah Clark was a tad bit late but it wasn't like it was a cheapshot. I think Lewis pushed him out and Clark hit him about a second late

It's interesting that he says they are worried about players safety but they still allow chop blocking...

I agree that the flag was warranted on Clark on that play, but the fining of players is seriously out of hand.
