This is getting out of hand, IMO. Are we going to start giving fines for every damn penalty? Roger Goodell can kiss my ass.

Ass kissing is a 10 yard penalty, loss of down and a $25,000 fine.

Roger can come out here to redneck county and pickup his check from gun wielding hands.

Burleson, Wright fined for socks Posted by Mike Florio on October 13, 2011, 7:28 AM EDT
Getty ImagesEvery October, the NFL loosens its obsessive-compulsive grip on the uniform rules, allowing players to accent their attire with pink.

In some cases, the pink becomes prevalent, from socks to cleats to gloves to mouthpieces to the "C" patch on the captain jerseys. Though it's done for the very good cause of breast cancer awareness (that said, there are many other very good causes that are excluded, such as a much-needed effort to cajole the sport's doctor-averse middle-aged male fans to get their prostates and colons checked), it's strange to see the league welcome the use, in non-uniform fashion, of a color that clashes with many teams' schemes and otherwise undermines the traditional concept and meaning of a uniform.

But even as the league declares that it's open season for the color pink, all other uniform rules remain in place, as Lions receiver Nate Burleson and cornerback Eric Wright are learning the hard way.

According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Burleson was fined $5,000 for not showing white in his socks on Monday night. Wright was fined an undisclosed amount for wearing all black socks.

We fully support the breast cancer awareness efforts. But we think the league should revisit the liberal and unrestrained use of pink, especially if the league otherwise is going to take money from players who stray from the chapter-and-verse requirements during a month in which the rule book regarding uniforms is dipped in a vat of Pepto Bismol.

What the heck does the NFL do with all that fine money? I'm sure they say it goes to some charity. Yeah right!

Either way, Goddell is a tool! Sick and tired of him trying to turn the NFL into a flag football league!

Hey Vince McMahon, you want to try your XFL again? This time without all of the gimmicky announcers and cheerleaders!
