Oh my fucking God...are you kidding me? How is he fined for that? There was nothing illegal about this hit! The NFL is starting to be quite full of bullshit at this point.New England Patriots defensive lineman Myron Pryor has been fined $7,500 for a fourth-quarter hit that opened a cut on the chin of Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Pryor was not penalized on the play, which resulted in Favre getting 10 stitches and leaving the game.
Pryor told the Boston Herald earlier this week that his helmet "slid up into Favre's chin" after he first hit the quarterback in the chest.
He added: "You don't mean to hurt somebody. And when it happened, I didn't think I hit him hard enough to make him [injured]. But maybe just from the impact going to the ground and from me laying on top of him, that's what made the chin messed up."
