    Some say it was a joke. Why would he apologize then. He's fecal matter in my books. Austin you are like Rogers, YOU BLOW!!!!

    I missed the last part of the game as I had to go to a dance with my wife. However, I did catch the last Argo possession as the dance was at a casino with large TV screens. My impressions:
    The refs were atrocious - saying anything more would get me banned.
    The Argos were outplayed by a better team but they did not give up the fight, which is important for making the playoffs.
    Even taking into account the refs, the Argos once again showed a total lack of penalty discipline -if this is not corrected their season will come to grief.
    Harris showed his leadership skills in playing with an attitude that will serve him well throughout his career.
    Obviously, the loss of Waters is a big blow as he is simply irreplacable at anywhere near the same skill level.

    Austin has been fined $5000. IIRC Barker was fined $7500 for being on the sideline last season.

    Barker was also banned from the sideline for the rest of the season which amounted to the final two regular season games.

    Jim Barker is a GM who potentially effected the outcome of the game. While I do not support Kent's actions, he is a coach who was simply unprofessional.

    What's more fineable?

    Whether he was joking or not, when he bumped a player from behind, that player could have lost his balance and been injured. No matter how remote that possibility was, it is way worse than a GM yelling at an official.
    It's us vs the rest of the country

    One made physical contact, one didn't. It's pretty clear to me which one is more fineable.

    Forgot about that. Also it looks like Barker was fined $2500 (plus the 2 game ban) not $7500. Still think that Austin is getting off light since he made physical contact and Barker did not.

    What if Austin did that to a player who would have turned around and knocked him cold? This scene could have gotten real ugly real fast. On a side note too bad he didn't do that to Ricky Foley. haha. Would have loved to see Austin knocked cold.

    It's possible Austin was hoping for Stala to go off and get himself tossed. He was our emergency kicker, after all. Maybe unlikely, but not out of the realm of consideration IMO.

    His formal apology is very fine material, however.

    But his behaviour... there are some things that a gentleman, let alone a sportsman, just does not do.

    I thought it was hilarious ... Austin doing his "walking dead" impression : ) Too bad Milanovich didn't express more emotion ... the original "walking dead" head coach.

    Karma will catch up with Austin one day while not paying attention he'll get hammered by a guy getting knocked out of bounds and hurt him real good.

    Definitely a bush league move by him.
    Having said that, the man does coach with an edge, like it or not.
