Cleveland Browns left guard Eric Steinbach got his wish yesterday, as the league fined Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel $5,000 for driving an opponent toward the quarterback after the ball was dead.On Monday, a day after the Patriots defeated the Browns, 34-17, Steinbach called Vrabel "classless" and practically pleaded for him to be fined......

Vrabel said on ESPN radio yesterday he plans to appeal the fine. When reached for further comment, he politely declined. On Wednesday, when asked about Steinbach's comments, Vrabel said: "I'm sorry that they feel that way. I don't play that way, and I'm sorry they feel that way. We're going to move on."Vrabel's teammates came to his defense and disputed the notion that he is a dirty player.

I still haven't see the hit, but apparently the league thought it was a cheap shot, or they wouldn't have fined him.
