Get out your checkbook, and practice writing a lot of zeros.

Wow, there's dirty and then there's just plain taking a guy out.

I can never understand why some takes a cheap shot like that. Are they trying to compensate for something being small? A stunt like that could seriously injure a player and affect the rest of his life. I like the contrite attitude of the Dante Wesley on the sidelines. Watching the USC and ND game yesterday, the game would probably not have been so close without the two personal fouls called on USC. Totally preventable penalties can cost your team games.

Wow -- he's going to have to write a rather large check; and, wondering if he'll also be suspended. A couple of game checks will send a message.

I predict $25,000 fine and a 2-game suspension.

His sideline attitude indicates he didn't think he did anything wrong.

One wonders what the heck that congenital idiot was thinking just before he launched his bastard hit.

Seems like the days of Rollerball aren't too far off.

That seems about right. No way the union should support that clown since it was another player whose life and career that idiot tried to harm.

Taylor Mays usually draws at least 1 or 2 UC per game. The one late in the 4th was a cheap shot but the one in the first half was total BS. The guy he hit hadn't stepped out of bounds before Mays hit him and no it wasn't helmet to helmet. The roughing the passer that went against USC late in the 4th was marginal at best, an SEC or Big XII crew wouldn't have called it. There were also a couple of blatant hits with Notre Dame players diving at a USC player's knees well out of bounds that didn't draw a flag.

It HAD to be my team doing it, too. That was before I got the game on the TV so I didn't see or hear about it till now. It was a cheap shot and Wesley deserves whatever fines/suspension they slap him with, but in the end we still beat the Bucs. We suck marginally less than they do. Huzzah.

It may take a year, but payback is coming.

Bounty time…

quidveritas and DocX have it right. If the ref didn't eject him, the coach probably wouldn't. Having a marked man on the field doesn't help the team.

1 game suspension without pay. Methinks he got off light.
