08:02 AM ET 10.07 | Clearly upset, Jason Babin boiled over Thursday. It's not the money that bothers [Babin]. It's the concept of getting fined for playing football the way he was taught that gets under his skin. "I got fined for playing football," Babin said after practice Thursday. Babin, the NFL's sack leader, said he was fined $15,000 for a hit on 49ers quarterback Alex Smith during the Eagles' 24-23 loss Sunday. Babin is playing in the first year of a five-year, $28.325 million contract. "It's ridiculous," he said. "They just arbitrarily go around fining guys for whatever they want. I'd love to look at the hits from 10 years ago that guys are being fined for now. They were probably getting bonuses back then, not getting fined."

Babin's right. The NFL has ostensibly instituted a tax on the players, with the defensive players paying most of the tax.

Its sad he was fined. It's even sadder to think that in 5 years they will probly outlaw sacks.
Dear NFL.....Football is a bigboy sport!!!

The NFL's product is entertainment. When it no longer is fun to watch, people will stop watching. Roger might want to remember that football is a sport and entertainment, not a factory. People don't get excited by watching paint dry.
Geez, I need to stop whining.

Simple solution. That sissified pinhead needs to go. We need football people running the league, not some choirboy. You shouldn't be allowed in league management unless you actually played the game.
