This article about the fine on Wallace for hitting Simms made me wonder about this. The ref didn't think it was excessive and didn't call a penalty. This was last Sunday and they issue a fine now?
Was this influenced by the outcry?
I'm also thinking about the furor caused by the Clemson/Oklahoma instant replay decision. It seems like the sports media no longer simply reports sporting news. It really shapes the way governing bodies treat their atheletes.
