The Associated Press reports Chicago Bears LB Brian Urlacher has been fined $100,000 by the NFL for wearing a hat promoting a sponsor not authorized by the league during media day at the Super Bowl.

The Nazi Football League strikes again.

I imagine that Urlacher received a lot more than that for wearing the hat, though.

He reminds of the guy that likely doesn't give a Sh1t about that.

Gatorade musta been pissed when he wore the Vitamin water gear.

JFC. $100,000?

[Garcia Bronco]

Well....for comparison..Ray Lewis was fined 200g's for being involved in double murder....

[tyton75]

So, Urlacher was fined as if he was involved in a single murder... for wearing a hat..

That seems reasonable

Note to NFL players: Charge unauthorized sponsors at least $200,000 to wear a hat with their logo.

I doubt Urlacher gives a shart, as long as vitamin water paid him double that to wear the hat.


I know a guy with severe cerebral palsy who should file a suit-fine ray Lewis for stealing his pregame entry to the field. Talk about a copyright infringement.

My god, thats alot of money for wearing a ****ing hat, Yet, guys that put illegal hits that can injury a guy for the rest of his career get fined 10,000 bucks?

I love the sport of football, but i am seriously starting to hate the NFL Front offices.

No Fun League is all it stands for now.

I wonder if fines are tax-deductible. If he's in the 36 percent tax bracket, and then has, say, another 5 percent state tax, then he's paying over $80,000 in taxes. If you fine him $100,000 on top of that, he's barely got enough left over from wearing the hat to buy a subcompact car.

That is a terribly mean thing to say! That's why i fell completely out of my chair laughing my arse off. I could never put my finger on it before the CP reference...

Exactly what I was thinking. All the lowball fines for all the crap hits in the league these past 10 or 15 years. 100k for wearing damn hat? :shake:
