Harrison Smith never has been a fan of the system the NFL uses to fine players for breaking its on-field code of conduct.
"They should be totally transparent on the total amount of money they've taken from defensive players compared to offensive players over the last 10, 15 years," said the Vikings' 12-year veteran safety.
Well, Harry, the league isn't looking backward, but it is being transparent going forward. As part of the league's new gameday accountability initiative, the NFL has begun announcing every gameday infraction and corresponding fine levied each week. Previously, the league would only confirm a fine if reporters asked about a specific play.
