The NFL is making it more and more obvious that they won't tolerate playful antics by their players. I would've never guessed that Chad...oops, Ocho Cinco would be fined for an "Ocho Cinco" velcro nameplate across the back of his jersey on Sunday. Reportedly, he's being fined $5,000 (it's believed that he will appeal). During Sunday's game against the Falcons, he came out with the nameplate and QB Carson Palmer ripped it off revealing his....real name. I thought it was funny, innovative, and entertaining. However, the National Football League, thought differently. Seems really strict, but they make the rules. I guess they're just trying to keep the game 100% football. All the other shit will cost money.
I guess they will start fining players for smiling in the camera next. WTF are you serious NFL someone is acting like David Stern. Live a little bit they guys like to have fun and besides it's entertainment. A fake nametag that was taken off before the game started it harmless. It would have been different if he never took it off. Calm the f*** down.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this was very uncalled for. I could understand if the velcro namplate had something provocative or obscene.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, IF there is some policy that indicates they can't tamper with the names on their uniform then I'm not really caring that he got fined. These foos get paid too d*mn much not to just go by the book. BUT, if there's not a stated rule on the issue, then the NFL need to go sit down somewhere. Silliness.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, ya blog is the BIZNASS! ;)
