    Oh great, another “I’ll keep playing the same way, fine me later” routine. We’ve seen this movie. Remember Lawrence Taylor getting nailed for hits that were basically a tax on quarterbacks, and everybody just shrugged? Nothing changed, the league collected its money, and the rule book got thicker. This one’s no different: a flag, a pout, a fine that’ll be a rounding error on his paycheck.
