Trueblood fined $7,500 for taking off helmet

Tampa Bay Buccaneers right tackle Jeremy Trueblood has been one of the most-fined players in the league in recent years, and this week the NFL fine police got him again.

Trueblood was fined $7,500 for taking off his helmet on the field during a verbal outburst in Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Around this time last year, we were writing about Trueblood getting fined for facemasking opponents, and complaining that NFL referees have attitude problems.

At other times Trueblood had been fined for impermissible contact with an official, for throwing his helmet, for unnecessary roughness and for punching Bears defensive end Adewale Ogunleye.

Maybe in the future we should just report on it when Trueblood goes a week without getting fined.
