This seems to be a disturbing trend in the NFL…
From Vernon Davis’ mouth to the NFL offices’ ears–Steelers center Cody Wallace has been fined for grabbing hold of Dolphins defensive tackle Randy Stark’s groin.
The total fine was $17,875, for two infractions, $7,875 of which went for his strike to Starks in the groin. Wallace tried to explain himself by stating he was trying to reach for the football when his left hand got jammed under Stark’s backside–who just so happened to have just recovered a Roethlisberger fumble. Right…
An already laughable excuse made more incriminating by the tv cameras which caught Wallace in the act. Starks was understandibly non too pleased:
“I heard of stuff like that happening. It’s the first time it happened to me,” Starks said Tuesday. “If I knew exactly who it was at the time, I probably would have got thrown out.”
The moral of the story? Keep your hands off other player’s junk.
