Tasher Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/6195350The Denver Broncos are screaming mad after the NFL weighed in on an altercation between Broncos center Tom Nalen and Chargers DT Igor Olshansky.FOXSports.com has learned that the league fined Nalen a whopping $25,000 for going down after Olshansky below the knees on a simple spike play in the waning minutes of Sunday night's game. Olshansky, who retaliated with a punch and was ejected from the game, was fined less than half that -- $10,000. Even though Nalen's fine was much more significant than Olshansky's, Nalen's action drew no flag.Denver officials are furious with the fine and it's expected that Nalen will appeal such a move. After Olshansky was kicked out of the game his head coach Marty Schottenheimer was seen lambasting the young defensive lineman for the infraction.It could not have happened to a nicer guy!

Stripes Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Good call, NFL. That was just stupid of Nalen, and I can't blame Olshansky for retaliating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasher Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 More coming to light on this...Denver Broncos have compiled tape from the game that "clearly" shows Olshansky punching, headbutting and committing other malicious acts to injur Bronco players, apparently Nalen was "legally justified" to "retalliate" by trying to end a player's season and potentially career.2 wrongs do not make a right last time I checked with Mom! 3 lefts however DO.

Kazkal Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Olshansky should have went haynesworth on nalen.Much deserved to the broncos linemen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboomer7 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 The Broncos have forever been known as a dirty, and whiny team, so this doesn't suprise me. Coach Kevlar will do anything to win, including cheating the salary cap(Elway's Super Bwol teams) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
