I picked, but really what does it say about: fan base, attitude, ownership, and overall team health that one fan base is ponying up money to show their support for their coach and team, while another is ponying up money to put on a public display designed to embarrass the owner and franchise.

I know I've never been more embarrassed as a fan, both because of our owner, but also, and even more so, because of the fans who think that riding a media frenzy against our team somehow does anything other than add to the media embarrassment our team already is.

The fan base here is sick of the bullshit and his side kick. This isn't Jacksonville. I'm not saying it's right but I understand it. After Gibbs 1 left we had some losing seasons but you didn't see the hostility towards MGT cause we knew that the people running the team has a plan and were capable. The fans in Atlanta will never get up enough money to pay for Smith's fine, just like the fans here will probably never raise enough $ to put up ads on the buses.

THe OFFICIAL Coach Smith Fine/Charity Collections Information - Current total - $1,101.90 - FalconsLIFE

haha, you should talk to them about how to get money for the buses

seriously, these guys are making hundreds of thousands to millions a year... and people want to raise money for them?

this is like when that (insert favorite slur here) started the "pay metallica back" for lost revenue due to downloads during that whole Napster thing

I'll be really interested to hear what folks have to say around here when Smith and the strength coach get fined 2 or 3 times what Hall is fined. Hall my get $5,000 but Smith and the strength coach will likely get at least $10k for being the aggressors.

Well let's see...the unreasonable people (those who believe Hall is the root of all the Redskins problem...and the world's) will complain about this and add that Hall should be suspended.

The reasonable people would say that a coach has a greater responsibility given their position of authority, and that the penalty is justifiable.

I would have been ok with both player and coaches getting the same penalty.

Landry fined $5000 and Haynesworth fined $7500

No fine for Hall

Why? Hall may have ran his mouth but he did not grab or put his hands on anyone. The worse thing they can give for talking smack is 15 yards last time I checked.

Per Twitter: @Jay_Glazer I'm reporting the NFL has fined Falcons head coach Mike Smith $15,000 for his confrontation with DeAngelo Hall

Haters, your time starts.....now.

Nothing for DeAngelo Hall, $15,000 for Atl coach Mike Smith. Jeff Fish, the Falcons' director of athletic performance, has to pay $2,500

I thought Fish should have had more, since he laid hands on Hall, but that's probably a sizeable sum for him? I don't have an idea what a director of athletic performance pay range would be.

I agree. I think both Smith's and Fish's fines should have been bigger. Goodell could have sent more of a message.
