NFL Communications - Baltimore Ravens Safety Ed Reed Suspended One Game for Repeated Violations of Player Safety Rules

---

Chris Mortensen:

Ed Reed appealing suspension. Ted Cottrell & Art Shell will review - both paid 50-50 by NFL/NFLPA. Decision should come quickly, like 48 hrs

The ruling should be upheld!!!

It was a dirty hit, the same thing happened to Harrison and he deserved to sit for his cheap shot to!! Steelers and Ravens is always a hard hitting game, but going to someones head intentionally is going to far!!!

Any video of the hit.

Hmmm, this isn't good. Goldson seems to get a lot of these penalties, he might be on their shortlist too.

His suspension was overturned after his appeal and reduced to a $50,000 fine.

Took an extra day, but they got this one right, imo.

Fines:

Had Ed Reed missed this week's game, he would've lost $423,000. Shannon Sharpe estimates that Ed Reed is worth $12-15M.

For Spygate, the Patriots were fined $500,000. They are valued at $1.4B.

For Bountygate, the Saints were fined $500,000. They are valued at $965M.

Don't know if that's the most fair way to look at it, but that was just Shannon Sharpe's rant on air right now.
