Frank Gores BS fine

Aldon got the same hosejob when he went hoseless against the Bears on MNF....

$$$ = worth the 5 sacks and 2 TDs

I dont know why people get upset over this, The players know the rules and are obviously ok with paying the fines or else they wouldnt do it

10 grand though! ..... I bet you if the NFL donated all of those fines to charity, they wouldn't even bother. I don't care if I wore a chicken suit to the game, there is no way you should be fined more than a man who "punched" a dude in the face after the game. Smh....

It isn't the same thing as choosing to wear different shoes on purpose. Maybe Frank Gore had something else on his mind other than pulling up his socks each play?

I found this out on ESPN:
"San Francisco 49ers players earned $40,000 for their participation in the NFC Championship Game. "

So basically 25% of his paycheck was docked for a uniform violation. Personally,I think he earned the full 40k in that game.

The player chooses which charity the fines are donated. The NFL does not make money on the fines. You would think otherwise, based on how frequently they are sent out, though.

Brady not fined for potentially causing injury to player.

Gore fined for wearing socks too low

Pay the fine Jed!

the nfl is like my old catholic high school haha

You can high kick a guy while sliding with no repercussions but you can't lower your socks if they get itchy, from, i dunno, sweat?

I think it has more to do with greed, maybe I am wrong, but all the uniforms including the socks is provided by a sponsor so the league may doing this to make sure the sponsor gets their visible props. Although, I hope gore keeps it down, just speculation but sweaty legs and no socks may help just a tad when the D tries to tackle below the knee-slippery without socks?

Just announced Brady fined $10K for the slide kick.

QB Tom Brady fined $10,000 for unnecessary roughness in the AFCC

RB Frank Gore fined $10,500 for wearing his socks too low in the NFCC

Socks. More dangerous than unnecessary roughness.

OMG Goodell actually has balls, he fined his little golden boy. this isnt a sign of an apocalypse or nothing is it?

we should petition the league over this nonsense and bring light to this situation... Im sure it would be on ESPN, and make Goddell Look like more of an A*s

This guy is a joke.
