This ref did what the Broncos offense couldn't: Throw Green Bay
linebacker Nick Barnett to the ground.

NFL official fined one game check for inappropriate contact with
players

December 28, 2007

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- The NFL has fined official Jim Quirk one game
check for inappropriate physical contact with players, including Green
Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett.

The fine totals $8,150, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Friday.

The decision came after Quirk grabbed Barnett by the neck and threw
him to the ground while breaking up a scuffle during the Packers' loss
at Chicago on Sunday.

"It made my day the minute they began to address it," Barnett's agent,
Chuck Price said Friday.

Price had threatened to file a formal grievance on Barnett's behalf
against Quirk, who was the umpire on the officiating crew that worked
Sunday's game. Friday, Price said he would not pursue further action.

"Nick was very satisfied with that," Price said. "The whole point (of
considering a grievance) was for (the league) to move on it, and that
it was addressed. They acted on it quickly. It was good enough for
us."

Packers coach Mike McCarthy had called Quirk's actions "totally
unprofessional."

Ray Anderson, NFL executive vice president of football operations,
issued the fine to Quirk, who can appeal it to commissioner Roger
Goodell.

Goodell called Barnett and McCarthy on Thursday, then met Quirk in the
league's New York office Friday.

ESPN.com first reported the punishment.

The fine also covers a similar incident involving Quirk and Atlanta
running back Jason Snelling on a kickoff return in a Dec. 16 game
against Tampa Bay.

Neither Barnett nor McCarthy was available for comment Friday
afternoon.

"Our organization has already addressed that issue and moved on to the
Detroit game," Packers spokesman Jeff Blumb said.

Big game next week: Broncos vs. Chiefs Hmmm, the Chiefs and Broncos, who had huge blowout wins last week, just barely won this week, but the bottom line is they're both 4-0 and must be considered legitimate Super Bowl contenders. So the biggest game next week will when they both face off aga
