Mr. P Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Cowboys' Adams fined $12,500 for plays vs. Giants (AP) – 21 hours ago IRVING, Texas — Cowboys left tackle Flozell Adams has been fined $12,500 by the NFL for kicking two New York Giants on Sunday, making it two straight games he's been fined. Adams was punished not only for the second-quarter play that left Justin Tuck with a shoulder injury, but also for doing it to Osi Umenyiora in the fourth quarter. Adams was flagged for kicking Tuck, but not for the swipe at Umenyiora. After the game, Tuck called it a "bush league play," and Adams shot back Monday, saying he didn't know Tuck was hurt, adding, "From a supposed kick? Tell him to stay up. It ain't my fault." On Wednesday, Tuck got his turn to respond. "Normally, people go to the Pro Bowl for blocking people, not tripping people. So maybe he should keep his feet on the ground," Tuck said. "We're not going to get into a war of words here, we are going to let it be what it is, and I'll see Flozell when we play them again." The rematch is Dec. 6 at Giants Stadium. Adams also was fined $5,000 for an unnecessary roughness penalty against Tampa Bay in the opener, which Adams said he wants to appeal.

Gman329 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Given the history with this player, including recent history (Week One!), the fat fuck should have been suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
