The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley

This sort of pales in comparison to a player reportedly shooting himself in the leg by accident, but Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss has been fined $5,000 by the league for striking Seahawks cornerback Josh Wilson after a play in the second quarter of Sunday's game. Moss was flagged for a personal foul, which took the Redskins out of field goal range.

I guess the league took a couple of days off for the holidays, because these fines normally come down earlier in the week. And as far as fines go, $5,000 is the equivalent to a slap on the wrist. I don't expect Moss to appeal this fine. He can use some of the money he earned doing that commercial for Dick's Sporting Goods, which runs in a continuous loop during late-night college basketball games on ESPN2.

JC's been getting crushed lately..don't think he has that much time for too many deep balls.

It's not like he makes it count when he does....

That's not a good throw for Jason. Im tired of seeing it fail, time and time again.
