Timmons fined $21,000 for Sanchez hit

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Steelers LB Lawrence Timmons was fined $21,000 by the NFL for his helmet-to-helmet on QB Mark Sanchez last Sunday in Pittsburgh.

Timmons revealed the fine on a Pittsburgh-area radio show. And he wasn't happy.

“What can you do? I was just playing ball,” Timmons told Joe Starkey of 93.7 The Fan, via ProFootballTalk.com. “I lowered my target like you’re supposed to do. I can’t help it if he slides or falls. It’s a tough spot to be in.”

This was a blatant helmet-to-helmet shot, and Timmons was flagged by the officials. It seemed to have an effect on Sanchez, who completed only six of 22 passes after the hit.

$21k to basically end the game in the 2nd quarter? Seems like a deal to me.

Took a few days for that bullfeces to be acknowledged by more than just Jets fans. Marks head snapped to the side.

It's called the Landry factor.

When will of our defensive players drill a QB like that? Last one I remember was Pace on Eli in last year's PS. That was actually a legal hit though

Bet the team has a way of secretly reimbursing him too. Paid public appearances, free cheerleader hookers, whatever.

What does $21,000 get you in terms of hookers?

Always wondered about this. Think teams include incentives in a FA contract to sweeten a deal thats close?
