Steelers SS Tyrone Carter To Appeal $5,000 Fine

Steelers safety Tyrone Carter plans to appeal the $5,000 fine he received yesterday from the NFL over a collision Sunday with Chicago tight end Greg Olsen -- an encounter that left Carter not only injured but also critical of the league's stance about television-replay hits, offensive fireworks and which body parts it strives to protect. "Yeah, I'm going to appeal it. I'm not going to let them just take my money just for nothing. See if I win or not," Carter said yesterday, when he returned to practice to work out without pads and maintained that he will start Sunday in Cincinnati despite a bruised left thigh. "I think [the penalty is due to] everybody saying 'oooh-ahhh.' They had it all over TV. I didn't get a flag or anything. The referee was right there. They talked about it. And the dude said, 'Nah, he didn't hit him with his head; he led with his shoulder.' It was cool. But the NFL sees something different. "They said I led with my head, like I hit him helmet to helmet. I didn't do that. I hit him with my shoulder. You know, that's how the league plays. The main thing about it, they want offenses to put scores on the board. ... Look at the rule: They say you can't hit a guy helmet to helmet or up top, but if I was to go lower and hit him in his knee, it's fine. So what do you think? Do you want to hit a guy to have a concussion, or do you want a guy to lose his knee and be done with his career?"

Good for him. He did nothing wrong. Guy watching the film at NFL headquarters must have had some bank on the Blackbirds.
