As you may heave read, Florida coach Urban Meyer was fined $30,000 today for making critical comments of the referees in the Gators most recent game versus Georgia.  To get his fine, Meyer claimed that the officials missed a blatant late hit on the precious Tim Tebow, stating, “That should have been a penalty, in my opinion…”

What we’re wondering, though, is why Meyer did not go on listing other missed calls?  Making $24 million over 6 years, we feel certain he could afford a few more $30,000 pops.  So why not keep going.  For example, he could have mentioned…

—how the refs completely blew the personal foul call late in the Florida win over Arkansas, nailing the Hogs with a foul on a play where the Florida guy instigated all of the contact; or

—how, on that very same play in the Arkansas game, the Hogs were flagged for pass interference when it was clear in live action and on replay that the Arkansas defender did not even tough the Gators’ receiver; or

—how Florida linebacker Dustin Doe clearly fumbled the ball before reaching the end zone for the game-clinching touchdown against Mississippi State, even though the replay official still called it a touchdown; or

—how the refs missed linebacker Brandon Spikes headbutting Georgia running back Washaun Ealey after the whistle and missed his eye gouge attempts of Ealey.

We’re just not sure why Meyer stopped with just the one criticism.  It would only have been $120,000 more - that’s nothing to guy making $4 million per year in just salary.  If you’re going to make a statement, Urban, then make a statement - no need to only speak half the truth!
