Should Favre Be Fined Too?

The Patriots' defensive lineman Myron Pryor was fined for hitting Brett Favre. Pryor's apparently legal hit resulted in a cut to Favre's chin. Pryor hit Favre in the chest, but then Pryor's helmet slid up and caught Favre under his chin, lacerating it.

Favre likely would not have been cut had he been wearing a hard-cup chin strap, as do most players, including quarterbacks. Favre continues the wear the old-school soft strap, which is little more than a patch of nylon.

Had Favre not been cut we probably would never had heard another word about Pryor's hit.

Remember, law students, it takes two to tort.
