Antonio Pierce gets fined for the late hit on Michael Vick.
If anyone hasn't seen it yet, Antonio Pierce hit Vick pretty hard when Vick was clearly out of bounds.
Now this is an ordinary fine like any other late hit out of bounds like any other, but this one interests me in 2 ways :
1. the day it was issued. it was issued on friday.
2. the "amount" of the fine and the point that there was no suspension issued with the hit.
This interests me, because i think the NFL is not thinking Michael Vick as a quarterback anymore. he runs out of the pocket too many times, so he gets into these type of hits more often than the normal quarterback. if a quarterback like tom brady(not a scrambling quarterback) would be in this type of situation, the fine and suspension would have been whipped out. Michael Vick's career is going to end in about 2 years, unless Vick learns how to stay in the pocket and make a decent pass.
