Brady fined 10K for hitting Ed Reed. Gore fined 10.5K for dress code violation

The NFL has become a joke. So improper dress code violation deserves more fine than protecting a player's safety. Just mind boggling!

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- A person familiar with the decision says the NFL has fined New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady $10,000 for kicking Baltimore Ravens defender Ed Reed during Sunday's AFC championship game.

The fine was first announced on NFL.com. An official with knowledge of the penalty confirmed it to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because it had not been announced.

On a first-and-goal near the end of the second quarter, Brady was forced out of the pocket to his left. He ran for 3 yards but slid before he could be tackled. In the process, he raised his right leg and kicked Reed in the thigh.

Brady reportedly apologized to Reed in a text message.

Patriots spokesman Stacey James says he has no information on the fine. A message was left seeking comment from NFL spokesman Michael Signora.

The Ravens won 28-13 to advance to the Super Bowl.

Frank Gore of the San Francisco 49ers had a terrible NFC championship game. Sure, he ran for two touchdowns. And yes, his team came back to win, and made it to the Super Bowl. But officials noticed his socks were sagging. It was his second dress code violation this season, and they fined him $10,500.

Weak. Goodell <3's the pats.

This year's Super Bowl halftime show should be for everyone in the stadium to be equipped with a switch, have Goodell dragged out to midfield and let the crowd go wild.

What an epic ****ing douche nozzle.

LOL @ NFL

Sagging socks cost more than a kick in the sack? It's obvious Goodell knows less about testicles than he does football, should have hired a consultant.

The only question I have left is Godell going to demand the socks and burn them?

To be fair, sagging socks could cause blood blisters. That's a serious health risk much worse than forcibly castrating a man with your foot.

Although Rex did enquire what foot size Gore takes.

I think he should demand Brady's leg and then burn it.
