monkey66 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1803928 One part struck me in particluar: Three South Florida newspapers quoted unidentified sources last week saying Williams tested positive for marijuana and faced a fine of at least $650,000 for violating the substance-abuse policy for the second time since joining the Dolphins in 2002. $650,000?!?!?! That can't be right can it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Think it goes by the player's salary. This is also from the AP article... Under league rules, a player who tests positive twice is fined the value equal to his pay for four games. According to salary data released by the NFL Players Association, that would cost Williams $878,823.53. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkelch Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 NFL can hand out some big fines, how about 60% of your salary for being stupid. Somehow I doubt the money collected goes to something helpful, like training classes on how not to be an asshat... The former Kansas State standout was penalized 10 game checks...
