New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was fined $50,000 for his conduct following Sunday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens, the NFL announced on Wednesday.

Belichick was seen grabbing a referee following a game-winning kick by Ravens rookie Justin Tucker. Baltimore won, 31-30.


''Whatever the league decides to do, I'll respect and just try and do my job,'' Belichick said before his fine was announced.


Belichick also said earlier this week that he didn't mean to disrespect the official and just wanted to ask whether the field goal would be reviewed on instant replay.
The NFL has fined several coaches this season because of their conduct toward replacement referees. On Wednesday, Washington Redskins assistant coach Kyle Shanahan was fined $25,000 for confronting an official in a stadium tunnel after a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.


Last week, Denver Broncos coach John Fox and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio were fined for berating officials in a Monday night game against the Atlanta Falcons.


Belichick was fined $500,000 in 2007 for his involvement in the Patriots' Spygate scandal.

Be interesting if it could be argued he did not grab a NFL ref, he graded a Div 111 college ref?

You know that the money collected for fines goes to player retirement programs and charitable organizations, right?

One would think he would know the rules. He must have a black spot when it comes to rules pertaining to instant replay rules and secretly video taping the other team's plays.
