Asante Samuel Fined $40k for Hit, Calls the League and Deion Sanders Haters
According to Tim McManus (@Tim_McManus), Asante Samuel told reporters he was fined $40,000 for this hit on Derek Hagen.
No complaints here. However, I'm still baffled that the hit on Ellis Hobbs didn't even result in a penalty, all because he wasn't considered "defenseless." The NFL at work, folks.
Asante is also pissed at Deion Sanders for calling him the "best off-corner" in the league. [PSD]
“He’s a hater. You can write that,” Samuel said.
Asked then about the league, he responded: “They’re haters, too.” When questioned about the hit, Samuel revealed he was fined $40,000.
There you have it. Deion Sanders, the NFL- haters. Watch Deion's comment here.
UPDATE: This.
Oh boy.
