The NFL has rescinded a $20,000 fine levied against New England Patriots receiver Randy Moss for his comments about officiating. The fine was withdrawn by Ray Anderson, the league's vice president of operations, after a review.
Moss' remarks came after the Patriots lost, 18-15, at Indianapolis Nov. 2. The fine was never announced by the league. Moss said at the time there were "some real iffy calls out there." He added that good calls and bad calls are part of the game, and "you've got to live and die with them."
