Another fine for Von Miller http://es.pn/TI95Ik By Bill Williamson | ESPN.com Denver linebacker Von Miller is one of the very best defensive players in the NFL. 野馬隊線衛Von Miller是本季「最佳防守球員獎」當選呼聲最高的人。 But he is also becoming one of the most fined. 不過，他恐怕也是被聯盟罰最多錢的球員。 Miller -- a leading candidate for the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award -- was fined $25,000 by the NFL for a hit below the knee on Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman last Sunday. Miller was fined $21,000 for a hit on Carolina quarterback Cam Newton last month. Miller最近被聯盟判以2.5萬美金的罰款，因為他在上週的球賽，不當偷襲海盜隊四分衛 Josh Freeman。Miller先前也因為以類似方式攻擊黑豹隊四分衛Cam Newton被罰2.1萬。 Miller, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 draft, has been fined several times since joining the NFL. He has been fined at least $109,250 as an NFL player. Miller去年才轉職業，並在當時以第二順位獲選。然而，他加入聯盟以來的罰款，卻 已經有至少10萬美金的累積量。 Still, Miller does not have a reputation for being a dirty player. I have seen him play a lot and his penalties and fines seem to be a byproduct of aggressive play and the NFL's strict rules on hitting the quarterback. 但在球迷與球評的眼中，Miller並不是一個dirty player，他只不過是聯盟近期對防守 四分衛越來越嚴格的規定中，其中一個被判罰碼數與金錢的受害者。 Miller is a premier pass-rusher. He hits the quarterback often. Sometimes, he is going to have to pay the price as part of today’s NFL climate. Miller是一個premier pass-rusher，攻擊四分衛對他而言是家常便飯。只不過，他總有 一天會因為現今NFL的氛圍，而復出更大的代價。 Now the question is, just how stiff a price might that be? Players who rack up big fines are often subject to an eventual NFL suspension. 唯一的問題是：這代價會多沈重？畢竟，球員中的罰款大戶，最後都逃不過被聯盟禁賽 的命運。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 心得：看來現在的NFL規則，對防守組是越來越不利了－雖然這對聯盟發展而言是不意外 另外，ESPN看完此消息的網友，也紛紛給聯盟會長Goodell不怎麼好聽的評語， 這多少讓我想到也因為近期修改防守規則而被罵很兇的NBA會長史騰 --
