    Colts linebacker Erik Walden referred to his ejection and NFL-mandated $27,562 fine for touching an official in Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals as "nonsense."

    "It's an unfortunate situation," Walden said. "Really, I think it's nonsense. The league made the decision. All we'll do is appeal it and move on."

    Walden was ejected in the second quarter after he swiped down to push head linesman Bruce Stritesky's arm off him.

    "It's a reaction," Walden said. "Me and [Bengals tight end Jermaine] Gresham were having some words. knocked his hand down and looked around. [Stritesky] overreacted, pulled his flag, threw his flag, ejection."
