Nine players were
fined for their roles in a fight before Monday night's
game between the Eagles and Falcons, with Atlanta defensive
tackle Chad Lavalais drawing the biggest fine, $7,500
US for a hit on Donovan McNabb during the game. For
the pre-game fight, which resulted in Falcons cornerback
Kevin Mathis and Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter
being ejected before kickoff, both players got $5,000
fines. Also receiving a $5,000 hit was cornerback DeAngelo
Hall for unsportsmanlike conduct for grabbing an opponent's
facemask and then throwing the opponent's helmet.
Trotter later lashed out, Trotter said the NFL should
discipline the referees who tossed him out of the game.
''They should have fined the referee,'' he said. ''That's
who they should have fined for that bad call. I do think
referees should get fined, too, for making a bad call.
There should be some disciplinary actions for the refs.''
