Andy Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I don't get it. They said he'd be fined if he wore it during the game, so they fined him when he wore it before the game?Excessive TD celebration I can understand, but come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkwing Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 What a world. Last night this forum discussed the propriety of Bill Bellichick's ridiculous sideline attire, and the fact that the NFL does nothing about it. So tonight we see that the No Fun League is finally getting off the ground and dealing with another egregious violation of its sacrosanct uniform rules. They're clamping down on a humorous name tag worn by a wide receiver before the game even starts.Does this make sense? Sure. Ask Mike Nolan.

FiddySicks Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I bet the NFL shop is now going to put a block on using ocho cinco on the back of a customized bengals jersey.

See Red Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I bet the NFL shop is now going to put a block on using ocho cinco on the back of a customized bengals jersey.Which is dumb since it's not obscene and it'd probably make for a pretty popular jersey. But that's how the NFL is.This wouldn't bug me at all if they fined Belicheck for looking like a bum, but they didn't so it does seem dumb to me because this is pretty consistent with the way the NFL fines players, in my opinion, which is perfectly fine -- but the way Belicheck looks is so much worse than this to me.

hormone Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 1. They aren't going to fine BB because he "looks like a bum" because he's wearing RBK gear that makes the league and themselves money. Also, football is usually outside in crappy weather so he has an argument.2. They probably had to cap the pre-game stuff because who knows what people would trot out wearing and then who knows what could get on the field during the game.Just saying...

CS85 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'm sure he'll appeal. I think he might have something over the league on this, but I'm sure they'll create a rule next season about it.

slapshot Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'd fine him for messing up Spanish.Eighty-five is ochenta cinco. Edited to add emphasis about how bastardising another langauge makes me mad like hulk!But he doesn't call himself "eighty-five". He calls himself "eight five". So "ocho cinco" would be correct.Either way, it's stupid fine. The NFL has its priorities out of whack.

lilgump Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Eighty-five is ochenta cincoochenta y cinco Do you think they'll fine the guy or person who made the nameplate and put the velcro on his jersey?

Fred T. Jane Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I like most of Chad Johnson's shenanigans, but I don't get how the "Ocho Cinco" thing was supposed to be funny...Because he was honouring the NFL's Hispanic Heritage Month. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.
