RENTON, Wash. --?Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman confirmed Thursday that he was fined $9,115 for his hit on Buffalo Bills kicker Dan Carpenter.He said he will not appeal the fine.They made sure that they made it unappealable because they said they cant hear the whistle on the film, Sherman said. And they said I hit him after the whistle, which was not true, but you cant really appeal something thats he said/she said.The play occurred at the end of the first half Monday night. Sherman was flagged for jumping offside on the play.Sherman said he was trying to block the kick. He got his hand on the football but also took Carpenter out on the play. NFL senior vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said Sherman should have been penalized for unnecessary roughness, but the officials did not flag him during the game.People dont understand free-play rules, Sherman said Thursday. The only reason people understand them to any degree is because theres so many of them nowadays, especially with A-Rod [Aaron Rodgers] and things like that. They dont realize that the plays arent called dead until the ref calls it dead. And usually when a quarterback sees a rusher coming, they spike the ball, and the plays over.

This is just another one of those opportunities. The public sees things in slow-motion, super slow-motion, so the league feels a reason to try to justify things.Thats the way of our league. It just shows you. They may find new ways to surprise you.The play led Carpenters wife, Kaela, to suggest on Twitter that Sherman should be castrated. She later apologized.On Wednesday, Sherman called Kaela Carpenters apology B.S. and said he was not surprised by her initial comments. ' ' '
