A "fine" day for a league office

It is not often in professional sports that league offices right a wrong. Usually after a referee makes a bad call that costs a team a game there is a hollow apology made the next day, but the result still stands. Kudos to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for rescinding the $7,500 fine that league officials had given to Justin Tuck of the New York Giants. Tuck made a textbook football play that any Pop Warner or Junior Football League coach would be proud of. He came up the middle and hit Cowboys quarterback Brooks Bollinger square on but was wrongly fined in the name of overprotecting the quarteback position. The game is still football-a contact sport. I give credit to the NFL and the commissioner for due process and admitting they made a mistake and checking their ego at the door. Common sense prevailed. Maybe Bud Selig and David Stern can take lessons and apply it in their sports.
