Report: Myron Pryor Fined for Hit on Brett Favre

Myron Pryor's hit on Brett Favre on Sunday evening at Gillette Stadium was pretty vicious, but most people watching did not believe it to be in violation of any rules.

On Friday, we all found out that we were wrong, as the NFL has fined Pryor $7,500 for the hit, according to ESPN.com's Adam Schefter.

Pryor makes $395,000 this season, so the $7,500 fine is nearly one-third of his game check.

Pryor hit Favre in the chest, and momentum carried his facemask up into Favre's chin. The quarterback spent some time on the ground before being helped off by trainers and later a cart, and he needed eight or 10 stitches to close a gash on his chin.
