No fine for Cherilus
December 12th, 2008 – 2:58 PM by Chip ScogginsDetroit rookie right tackle Gosder Cherilus was not fined by the NFL for his hit to Jared Allen’s knees, according to a league spokesman.
Allen suffered a left knee injury when Cherilus, who was on his knees, blocked Allen at the knees as he ran down the line in pursuit on a pass play away from his side. Allen was irate after the play and had to be restrained from going after Cherilus.
One play later, Vikings linebacker Napoleon Harris and Detroit fullback Moran Norris were called for personal fouls with Norris receiving a disqualification for throwing a punch. Both Harris and Norris received $5,000 fines on Friday.
Vikings defensive tackle Fred Evans also was fined $5,000 for his face mask penalty on Kevin Smith.

I thought that on the replay, there was no face mask on Smith by Evans. I think what you meant to say, Chip, was that the game officials were charged $5000 each for being bad at their jobs.
WHAT!?! Oh, you thought Allen was irrate after the play, wait til you see him when he finds this out!
If it would have been anybody other than Jarod then he would have been fined. Why am I not surprised?
Goodel and the Vikes seem to be at odds with each other. I think somebody really wants to see the vikes end up in L.A. Telling JA and Edwards to stop playing so hard, allowing players to take cheap shots at our QB, allowing players to take cheap shots at our Jared Allen, suspending WilliamWall for what appears to be a pretty clear case of entrapment… the list goes on and on.
I know all my old Pals are wondering what they should get Fragile Freds for Christmas. So by popular demands, here is a short list of gifts your old pal would enjoys:
1) A case of Colt 45, the summer ale if you can finds it.
2) A gift certificate to Al and Almas
3) A new gold mouth grills, Fred’s is still bent from that unfortunate Bentley accidents.
4) Another long weekend with GPGs.
5) The DVD box set of the Brady Bunch, Freds loves Marcia.
6)A nice pair or Orange Nickers. You know, like the kind Payne what’s his name used to wear, before he died on that run away plane that had to be shot down because it was on auto pilot. Fred is learning to golfs.
7) A large beach towel that Freds can gives to his old pal Visante before dude gets caught again in a breezy situations.
8) Fred would like to learn to drive one of those big honkin’ green field tractors during harvest times. Fred would like to put hydrolics on that bad boy and some fuzzy dice.
9) A gift that would allow Fred 5 minutes in the ring with Al Franklins.
Okay, Fred hope that helps everyones!
Chet thinks this is bs, that’s what Chet thinks.
How can Evans be fined when the replay shows he didn’t even touch the facemask?! Does the league not even look at the replays before they decide to fine? The league is really starting to annoy me.
doubtful Frerotte good
questionable Allen bad
action Williams Wall
HUH? TheGuyWhoWins thinks that one must actually grasp a facemask if one is to be penalized for it. One must also substantially yank hard on said facemask to be fined for it. Since the facemask was a phantom call, should Evans pay the fine in Monopoly money? Or phantom money?
Goodell can go F himself. Chip can you pass that message along?
a crap decision
How in the flying F can there be a fine for something that wasn’t a penalty?
The message i’m reading from goodell is that if wants other teams’ players to in vigilante on the Vikes. Only possible answer.
Go Vikes!!
Goodell can suck eggs
punish Vikings left and right
L.A. DO NOT WANT!
Did the game between the Falcons and Vikings get switched to 3:15 pm CT, or was it originally scheduled at that time?

I’d like to put Goodell in assless chaps, spin him in circles until he’s dizzy and drop him off in downtown San Fran.
Tomb does not care for him.
Freds…if I put a Franken mask on Goodell, could you go all FULL-TILT Smooter on him for me?
vsf, game time changed.
Evans should appeal, and then send a bill to the nfl for wasting his time.
Just Win out, I hope and pray that we can do that. One game at at time, This will determine the fate of Chilly. While as a 40 plus year Vike fan, I never root against the boys, I am reserved to the fact that we will somehow @&*$ this up, Brad I implore you to make that not so….We must win!
Godsder Cherryless and Roger Gaydell can both ***k off and eat ***t!
It is obvious that Goodell is telling the league discipline office whom to discipline and whom to not. !!!
Where can I find the Roger Goodell fan club blog? This is apparently not it.
Freds, I already got your present, guess I might as well tell you…. Nautical Navigational Maps. You won’t lose your way next time, captain! Just glad I can help.
Which accounts for more yards…an 8 yard run or an 8 yard pass? Yards is yards, boys. It don’t mean much to stop the run if you can’t at least hinder the passing game a bit as well. Mr. Bellicek taught you that a few years ago Mr. Childress.
Goodell can just lick my scoggins
I can fine bloggers too, so you all need to bend over and kiss my feet!
[…] Cue up the Vikings fans’ tears about how the league office hates them and is constantly conspiring against them, because Gosder Cherilus has not been fined for his cheap shot last Sunday on NFL Fine King, Jared “$90K” Allen. […]
[…] The latest fined Viking? DT Fred Evans, who was fined $5k for grabbing the face mask of RB Kevin Smith. And my problem with the fine this time isn’t just the face that fining players for actions like a face mask, which is an unfortunate but common part of the game, is ridiculous (Vikings LB Chad Greenway was fined $15k earlier this year for a face mask that wasn’t called against the Saints, the first time I’d ever heard of such a fine).
