Defensive end Osi Umenyiora was not fined for his roughing-the-passer penalty against Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the fourth quarter last week.

No surprise. Just goes to show all the more by not giving him a fine they know the call was bogus

The refs should be fined for the calls in that game.

Just curious...If a player CAN be fined for a call that isn't made,,, why not install a system where the ref can be fined or at least punished in some way for a call that IS made that shouldn't be?

Something like that, I believe, will eventually happen. Next year there is talk about hiring "full time" officials. I like the idea and I'm sure there will be penalties for officials who mess up on calls.

They should look into the hits Eli took by Clay Mathews. Those are more fineable then Osi's hit.

The integrity of the game is on the line and the league office apparently does not care.</P>
