Nick Barnett taken out by Umpire Jim Quirk

that was a harsh punishment on the old dude. he's not gonna hurt a pro player. the reason the fines are so high when a player touches a ref, is because they are huge men that can really MOD EDITsomeone up. an old man wrestling someone off a pile isn't going to hurt someone. eight grand, is probably a good deal of money to an nfl ref. the fines they give players, is just a drop in the bucket compared to what they make. i can't believe it but i am actually siding with the ref.
