Was Moss ever fined for his punch?

[EnFoRcEr_uPu]

From all I've read on fines this week, I haven't seen his name mentioned anywhere. I'd be shocked if he wasn't fined.

[kevin11]

Can somebody show me the punch? I never saw it.

[ljs]

well I know that Hines Ward received notice for his fines about a week or two after the game...so it might be ahwile. I'm surprised I haven't seen anything on NFL.com about it either. I believe there is a youtube video.

[Mephisto]

i would be surprised if he's not fined, he should have been ejected from the game. what a dumb thing to do, punching a helmet

[chow184]

most fines aren't publicized but I'm sure JLC is asking the NFL if moss got fined...

No hes asking them to fine him. :silly:

[Leonard Washington]

Moss should have been ejected or at least suspended for next week's game. His bahavior should not be tolerated.

Meanwhile scumbags like Matt Light punches a guy in the face repeatedly without a facemask and all he gets a mild fine. :rolleyes:

"WTF do you want this time douche bag? Is Dan Snyder poisioning the opposing team's water supply? Is Vinny Cerrato using a ouija board to contact the spirit of Vince Lombardi to get an unfair edge?"
"Well yes...but I wanted to ask if Santana Moss was going to be fined like he should be...errr...like some people thought he might be. Because, you know, I don't want him to get fined...but...you know. So is he? Hello...hello?"

Give me a break. Santana should be suspended for hitting a guy in the helmet once and then dropping it for the rest of the game? A fine is more than enough for that "punch." These guys are playing football for Christ's sake! It's a violent game and tempers run hot some times. I'm not saying he did the right thing...but to be ejected or suspended...that's ridiculous. It's not like he stomped a guy, spit in a guys face or punched someone who wasn't wearing a helmet or kept it up the whole game or anything.

Wow, I think his behavior was less than desirable, but human at worst.
A fine and a sore hand should be plenty enough retribution for that for that.
I would have hated to have seen it, but if he were ejected after the incident, I'd understand.

No reason to suspend a vet with a squeaky clean rep that
punched a dude in the helmet after a play.
Happens all the time, and it's not a big deal!

Moss was lucky that the ref didn't see him punch Wilson. It was a stupid move, and if the ref had caught it, Moss would have been tossed from the game. It doesn't matter if the player has a squeaky clean rap sheet, if any player is dumb enough to throw a punch out on the field, he should be ejected from the game.

[STBonecrusher21]

SHHHhhhhh. If we don't say anything....maybe they'll forget about it.

I understand that football is a physical game and the game can get heated at times; however, these guys are professionals and Moss knows better than to take a swing at a CB. Everyone on here would be crying foul if another WR had taken a swing at Rogers, Springs, Smoot, or Hall. However, I don't think Moss should be suspended for his actions, if he wasn't kicked out against Seattle, then that's the refs fault for not catching it when it happened.

[Gart Monk]

Extra laps for 89 this week in practice!

[Park City Skins]

Maybe he will be, maybe he won't. I'd lean towards yes at this point. Be that as it may, it's not something that bothers me that much. We've all had our moments, and for whatever reason, Santana had his. **** happens. Don't like it when those moments happen, but accept the fact that we're all human and as result, emotions can get the better of us at times. BFD. :yawnee:

They saw it, the ref just put his flag away. That's fine, he hardly caught his facemask anyway. Although you can't throw punches. This is a civil game. I imagine he'll get slapped with a 5,000 dollar fine at least but if the ref is letting them play and Tana was getting held beyond the five yard point as they did show he's pissed. Maybe he should have punched the ref:applause:

I thought the one official was standing behind Wilson and didn't have a clear view of what Santana did. Isn't there a rule in the league if a player throws a punch they are automatically ejected from the game?

basically it was an open-handed push to the helmet. No punch they were tied up and he pushed him off.

[LaxBuddy21]

Im sure we can all understand getting that way during a game if you have played any contact sport but you still have to control yourself. I agree, a fine and a sore hand should be punishment enough. I was actually laughing at him for being dumb enough to hit a guy in the helmet.

[mjm4soccer]

I'm pretty sure if Santana had wanted to punch Wilson, he would have swung underneath the facemask, which it kind of looked like he did from the angles I've seen. That being said, he didn't connect, and I find it hard to believe he will get anything more than a fine for that.

[jfr3ek]

im sure its coming...

[Special K]

I was surprised (but very relieved) Moss wasn't ejected from the game for that. I love Moss to death, but that was just a really poor choice of actions on his part. Oh well, I think we all let our emotions get the best of us from time to time. Hopefully he'll be able to control himself a little better the next time a similar situation presents himself. I think he'll most likely be fined, it just hasn't been handed down yet.

[aussieskin]

did the punch land? if not no harm therefore no foul or fine

[KDawg]

I disagree that it was a punch at all.

To me it looked like an open hand violent shove to the facemask.

Anyone punching a guy with a helmet on lacks some mental capacity.

Yeah, no. It was a closed-fisted punch. You can even see him look both ways before he throws it.

[TheSkins2006]

I love it! lol.

Our boy moss does 1 small incident on the field and all these "fans" and naysayers crawl out of the ****ing wood work! This is turning into highschool drama all over again...lets football players, play football! It's meant to be a physical sport. Finally, grow the **** up! If he gets fined let him get fined...this isn't that big of a deal that some of you are making it out to be.

You're kidding right. That was definately a punch meant to do damage to the facemask:doh: That was stupid but he didn't really land cleanly. I'm glad it didn't because he probably would have broken a couple of knuckles at least. He's gonna get a fine for the sole purpose of not being partial. What they should also consider is the side judge or whomever it is that was letting the DB get away with holding which lead to Santana's frustration.

No, I'm not.

I live in Upstate, NY. Therefore, I had to watch the game at the bar, because I can't afford Sunday Ticket.

So, from where I sat, in the bar, it looked like an open hand.

All in all, though, I don't really care one way or the other. Fine him, do whatever, suspending him would be absolutely insane. Matt Light SHOULD be suspended. Not Santana.

It's a game of emotion. It's NOT okay to lose control, and that's where the fine will come in.

Moss Fined $5,000
Jason La Canfora reports:

Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss was fined $5,000 by the NFL for a personal foul in Washington's victory Sunday over the Seahawks in Seattle, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

His personal foul, for striking cornerback Josh Wilson on the head after a play, put the Redskins out of field goal range in the second quarter.

"I got a chance and got real aggressive with [Wilson] on a block," Moss said in a postgame interview Sunday with Comcast SportsNet. "And as I'm leaving to get away from him, he's grabbing me, grabbing me, and we're kind of exchanging words.

"And he wouldn't let go, so I did the best thing that I knew at that moment. It wasn't the best decision, but I did it, and I'm glad that we don't have to sit here and be saying that cost the game or something. I did it and I apologize about it and I moved on."

Moss finished with four receptions for 74 yards.


Not too bad.

[Spitfire71]

You see...I knew Santana was baited. How many people that have seen Santana's demeanor - on or off the field - actually believed that Santana got up into a cornerback's face and tried to start a fight?

No way. That's more like Santana's evil clone - Steve Smith. Hell, he broke the nose of a corner on his OWN team.
