It's not you, it is getting rediculous. What Bush did was not only punkish, it was stupid, but it didn't warrant a fine, especially considering it was deemed okay at the time. The NFL might as well just admit the officials screwed up and were afraid to call a penalty at a critical moment in a critical game. I know they want to emphasize a point, but to try and make up for the on-field blunder by the officials with a meaningless fine after the fact is just plain stupid. Once it was missed during the game, that should have been it.
In the end, Bush paid a heavy price for his foolish actions by firing up the Bears and burying any chance his team had of winning the game.
