Patriots.com has learned that the NFL is rescinding its $20,000 fine of New England's Randy Moss.
The league originally fined Moss for comments he made after the Patriots lost to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9. Following that game, Moss told a group of reporters, "There were some real iffy calls out there."
That prompted league officials to issue the fine, but a Patriots source says that ruling has since been reversed by the NFL's Ray Anderson.

thank goodness
His comments were largely innocuous, and fining him more than double what some personal fouls would draw for a verbal comment was ridiculous.

The league has gone looney-tunes here
The league must be experiencing some major internal mis-communications. What makes a statement worthy of a $20,000 fine one day and zero the next? Someone in the front office is both over-zealous and under-supervised, and it’s turning Goodell’s mandate into an arbitrary, subjective farce.
Keep the faith!

The league is fine crazy
Even though they recinded the fine on Justin Tuck for a text book tackle last week, it doesn’t take away the fact the league looks at things guilty until proven innocent.
Goodell wants to be a tough guy and straighten out the league, yet he allows a repeat loser like Adam Jones back and I’m willing to bet a month after Vick gets out, he’ll be reinstated.
it’s really to bad.

The league is going crazy
This is unbelievable…I don’t even know what to say…I don’t care that they took the fine back, the fact that they even originally fined him that much for that statement is crazy
