No fine for Hilliard hit

The NFL confirmed today that Seattle LB Leroy Hill was not fined for his helmet-to-helmet hit that knocked Bucs WR Ike Hilliard concussed and briefly unconscious last Sunday.

I made the inquiry to the league because there seemed to be a rash of weekly fines being levied this season for hits not unlike the one administered to Hilliard. But when Hilliard said he was fine with the hit and termed it just "a good NFL hit," he apparently wasn't alone in making that assessment.

Clearly, the NFL agrees.
