If there's anything in sports that would qualify as the opposite of Joe Dimaggio's epic 56-game baseball hit streak, it may be what Flozell Adams has cooking for the Cowboys so far in 2009.Three games into the NFL season, Adams has been fined three times. The third wallet hit, a $7,500 blow, came down Wednesday, as Adams was punished for kicking at Carolina's Julius Peppers on Monday night (video here courtesy of Digital Sports Daily).
Adams was fined $5,000 for an unnecessary roughness penalty in Dallas' Week 1 win at Tampa Bay, and $12,500 for two incidents in a Week 2 loss to the Giants -- one of which was a trip on Justin Tuck that ended with Tuck injuring his shoulder.
"He just wants to protect the quarterback," coach Wade Phillips said.
As with the Tuck trip, Adams' attempt to upend Peppers seemed pretty apparent. As Dallas QB Tony Romo took a snap in the shotgun and handed off on a draw, Peppers took a couple of steps into the backfield, then cut upfield to chase down the play -- as he did so, Adams stuck his right leg out, nicking Peppers' leg and causing him to stumble.
For the record, Adams will make $1 million plus bonuses this season, the second year for a six-year, $43.8 million deal.
