The Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Dashon Goldson got some good news today, then some more bad news. You remember Goldson, right? He was the Bucs player in Sunday’s game who thought he was Ichabod Crane in “Sleepy Hollow”, and tried to take Darren Sproles head off in our Week 2 game.

First, the good news: Earlier Mike Florio of NBC’s PFT reported that Goldson won his appeal against the NFL, who had suspended him for a game. Mike also made this observation:

“A fine presumably will be issued against Goldson, in addition to the $30,000 fine he absorbed after a Week One illegal hit to Jets tight end Jeff Cumberland.”

Duh Mike, ya think? That brings us to the bad news which Goldson got later this morning. It didn’t take Roger Goodell and the NFL long to retaliate after Matt Birk vacated his suspension. Mike Florio showed up again with another news tidbit:

“The league has announced that, in overturning the one-game suspension imposed on Goldson, hearing officer Matt Birk imposed a $100,000 fine against the veteran defensive back.”

Awww… Boo-Hoo-Dat™. The silver lining? (if there was one) Dashon Goldson had a “net gain” for the day. The suspension was going to cost him $264K and change, so after the fine he was almost $165K to the good. He better count himself lucky.

Now, if we can get Goodell’s head our of his azz long enough he might get around to fining the Bucs player who tried to take Jimmy Graham’s head off.

We’ll get back to you on that one.
