I saw this article on BustedCoverage yesterday. Pretty awesome….

A hook hand might cause problems for Aaron Rodgers, but an eye patch would just add to his arsenal. Rodgers was poked in the eye during Sunday's victory over the Saints. He was struck by safety Malcolm Jenkins, which drew a facemask penalty and temporarily affected the quarterback's vision. Fortunately for the Packers, Rodgers is going to be all right, although he doesn&...

He expected something in the neighborhood of a $20,000 fine for his personal foul penalty in Sundays game against the Saints.
So Raji was relieved that he was fined about $7,800, he said today.
The NFL announces most player fines on Fridays, but most likely Rajis...
