Meriweather lauded by NFL official for clean play vs. Chargers

FOXBOROUGH -- Brandon Meriweather earned high praise today from an NFL official for his exemplary behavior on the field after the league enacted stricter rules on helmet-to-helmet hits. Meriweather was fined $50,000 last week for his helmet-to-helmet hits on Ravens' tight end Todd Heap and wide receiver Derrick Mason.

Asked if he ever remembered a league official coming out and praising one of his players, Belichick said, somewhat facetiously, ``Nah, it's got to be a first for me.

``The officials now are evaluating the players and their performance, I mean, that's great,'' Belichick deadpanned. ``I can't say how much that means to me, really.''

1. So are they going to give him a good-conduct bonus to go along with the fines?

Seems only fair... :shrug:
