Lewis fined $25K for hit on Bengals’ Ochocinco
Well, better late than never.
ESPN is reporting that Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis has been fined $25,000 for what looked to me — and apparently commissioner Roger Goodell — to be a helmet-to-helmet hit on the Bengals’ Chad Ochocinco Sunday, Oct. 11.
Good, and it’s about time.
Lewis is apparently going to appeal, but it looked to me like he let frustration get the best of him. He hit Ochocinco in a very deliberate and dangerous manner. Shots like that cannot be tolerated and I congratulate the commissioner on his decision.

25K is not enough! It should be at least twice that with a suspension. He consistently breaks the rules and speaks out against NFL rules protecting players. Sit him for a few games so that his team gets on him for this crap!

I read in a Cincinnati paper that fines are announced on Friday. That is why the DDN is just now getting the news. I bet Chick would have know this.
