Broncos Player Was Fined for Body Slam of Chiefs' Charles

PrintYesterday, a note was posted that three players had been fined in last weekend's games. Suspiciously missing from that list was Robert Ayers of the Denver Broncos.
In the second half of Sunday's game, Ayers' body slammed - WWF style - Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles to the ground a full two seconds after the whistle.
I confirmed with a league spokesman that Ayers was indeed fined (Florio posted it first, though).
Ayers' paycheck will have $5,000 less for the unnecessary roughness call.

I'll forever be a Chiefs fan! Only God himself could take that away from me, but when I get to my great reward, I'll rejoin two bigger fans, my Mom and Dad.
That's good to hear, but Joel, I believe its the WWE now

That picture is the definition of awesome
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes; after that, who cares?! He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!
Just $5K?
That’s a little low for the slam.

Five thousand dollars?
That’s crap! That is no punishment for an NFL player!
If it’s a fine some of is could potentially pay, it’s not good enough.

Seriously
On August 4, 2009, Ayers signed a five-year contract with $9.7 million guaranteed.
What is 5k gonna do to Ayers? He is gonna laugh and say “it was well worth it”

I can accept that fine...
ONLY because it was heat of the moment, and he is a first time offender (far as I know) He certainly isn’t a Flozel Adams

WWF
It’s pretty rare that we see an Undertaker suplex that late after the whistle in the NFL. They should give him the fine and suspend him for the first regular season game of next year.
That may sound like too much, but if he had done that to Tom Brady or any other star QB two full seconds after the whistle, it would probably be a $30,000 fine (or more) and at least a two-game suspension.
That actually happened to a QB years ago.....McMahon or Favre?

Would ya like a free NANAA!

Nothing more than a parking ticket, basically.
The fine should have been much more. Ayers could have injured Jamaal seriously. So he should have been fined seriously.
There is absolutley no place in the NFL for that kind crap. None. And the league should have sent a crystal clear message to every single player with this fine – that this kind of play will not be tolerated.
The fact that Jamaal came right back in the game shouldn’t have been a factor. If Ayers had broken Jamaal’s neck, would the fine have been the same?
Total Bullshit.
thats right
i wish he got more, we all do. But we really should be happy that there was any fine at all after the first report was released. No fine is REALLY gonna hurt someone making that much money. It is more about making some sort of statement that this kind of tackle in not acceptable.
Well...
I understand that to a point.
But to fine a player like Chad OC 15 or 20K for clowning around…and $5K to a guy who could have potentially ended another players career is still Bullshit.
Maybe it’s time to change the “standards”.
uh 5K...
I would body slam a rival’s best weapon any day for the chance at a 5K fine.

my bad on yesterdays post
sorry guys. when i looked up the fine info for week 17 on nfl.com it only showed the three plyer mentioned in that article.
For justice we must go to Don Pioli

the NFL is turning into a joke
players are getting fined for trying to have fun after they score yet players that intentionally try to hurt or even end the career of someone thats kicking the crap out of them gets this. Im sure hes really going to miss that 5k out of his $10 million contract. All hes going to learn from this is heah next time I can slam the guy twice as hard or even try harder to injure him and I will only be fined maybe $10k, what a damn joke. So in the NFL as long as you are playing a crappy team then you can do whatever you want to their players and the league office doesnt care..
automatic suspensions and ejections for personal fouls would clean up the game
Ocho Cinco was fined 40K for wearing a sombrero on the sidelines
Ayers gets $5 K for a cheap shot
Goodall’s NFL …
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
part of that is the repeat offender though....if ayers had worn one on the sidelines, it would have been...well probably 10,000, so fair point...but Ocho is fined differently
Haley is the right coach who just needs good people around him, much like Cassel
Vince Wilfork will be Scott Pioli's top offseason priority and will be a Chief.
Jamaal "Do it All" Charles
thats fantastic...
lets fine a guy basically the change he has in his pocket for nearly breaking someones neck.

oh, now he will constantly get harrassed by chief fans for the rest of his career...

Ok, so this is obviously not going to cut it for me, or any of my fellow chief fans
therefore…it is now time….
Congrats Robert Ayers, you are now officially on the list of most hated bronco players.

He got off light but at least he didn't get off...
…not since Buck Buchanon put the piledriver on Geogre Blanda has that move been used so well (he damn near killed Geogre)
