Cornerback Eric Wright is the latest member of the team to face a fine. This time around, the bill has been prepared and submitted to him not by coach Eric Mangini but by the league office.
Wright posted earlier today on his Twitter page a message indicating that he has been fined $5,000 for wearing pants that didn’t cover his knee.
He has since deleted several tweets related to the fine, but they live under his Twitter name (ithinkurwright) at Tweleted.com.
Here’s the one in which he broke the news: “‘Your pants failed to cover the knee area’… Wow jus steal 5 stacks
from me .. Smh .. Hope I dont get fined for this tweet on top of that. lol”
Later he said this: “Uhh I think theres a rule about talkin bout this stuff so lets jus
forget I even said ne thing bout it.. LMFAO!! Boooy they gone get me!
Lol”
Though we thought he was kidding, Wright apparently decided that the smart move would be to delete the tweets.
Actually, the smart move would have been to never post them in the first place.
how lame does it have to be to play for the browns?
grown men getting treated like they are in high school.
think how many free agents next year are gonna steer clear of that.
What a horrible staph.
woops i mean staff.

Twitter has to be the best thing to happen to football in 2009.
Any word on whether that JAG that wore the hockey mask was fined?
Too much knee? What is Roger, a puritan?
Wright does have pretty knees. Still, only morons get in trouble using twit ter. There’s a reason they have to put a tip-hazard warning on Coke machines, and Twitter just proves some people should not be allowed access to the Internet.
He should pull a Cedric Griffin for the next game.
No Fun League strikes again. The NFL needs to get a darn life. Seems like they are just interested in pissing people off with STUPID fines
Eric Wright’s smart move should have been not to try and tackle Adrian Peterson…. he got thrown like a ragdoll
I fear for our culture.
Lol this is wierd. Chad Johnson got slapped with a fine in pre-season for wearing an orange chin strap, now Wright gets one for showing knee…NFL doesn’t mess around with their uniform policies do they.
He sounds like an educated young man.

Excellent hindsight advice Mike and very perspicacious!
I’m a 40 year old male and live with my mother.
I just fined my mom $5 bucks for not making me some coffee
Big businessmen=communists=fascists — all of them believe in no free speech. For peasents-for hired help!
There is no difference between the greedball fascists running the NFL and Castro or Chavez or the Ayotollahs!
Adrian Peterson must have stretched him out a little when he bitch slapped him on that touchdown run.
Smack My Vick Up : Twitter has to be the best thing to happen to football in 2009.

You know, I’m not a fan of twitter, I mean I think it’s lame beyond belief but I’m warming up to it for its comedic purposes.
I can’t wait for the next idiotic poster to embarrass himself.

WHAT AN IDIOT you are comerod! The NFL fined him not Mangini.
Bob S. – hahahaha ! lol
that was awesome man
the scary thing is that it’s true
lol
The Cleveland Ayatollahs
oh this was an NFL fine
I just re-read it
I thought the Browns fined him
ooops
Wearing your uniform pants like a dumbass is not free speech. It is wearing your uniform pants like a dumbass. Pull your whites up, tuck your jersey in, quit twisting and tugging your breeches, and pretend you can dress yourself (or get help from the equipment manager if you need it).
Wear your uniform like the professional you’re supposed to be, and don’t act like a twelve year old when you get busted for not wearing your uniform like the professional you’re supposed to be.
End of rant.
Vox that was sheldon brown of your hated eagles.
How about the league starts fining these late hits and these bum ass refs?
Orange chin strape, pants to short?
But a 300+lb man can fall on a franchise qb who has been laying in the endzone and not receieve a fine?
I’m ok without that fat bastard not receiving a fine, but not if they continue with these gay things.
I thought Eazy was dead?
I can’t believe players that are part of the problem on the worst team in pro football have time to tweeter. Hey Eric, why don’t you please do some tackling drills so you don’t end up on the cover of SI getting thrown out of bounds by a running back.
What the hell is “smh”?
awesome twitter ID name
Reading some of the really bloody stupid posts on this subject, it seems to come as a surprise to some that the NFL has a “dress code police”, that travels from city to city citing various players for dress code infractions.
These fines happen to every team in every city, however, with the anti Browns vendetta being run by Florio, he decided to high light a Browns player.
I think I should levy a fine on the Browns for the last 10 years that I have been supporting what they call a football team. Let’s see. 10 home games a year times 10 seasons @ $45 a game plus $25 parking and 2 $7 beers. Total fine $8,400.
so listen u ball flipper,take you 10 years to figure out that,you should be fined.
It’s Believeland and I was drinking the Kool-Aid. Yeah, I bought into it for the last ten years. But part of the time I was with your Mom. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
The teams laughingstock still finds a way to get into the news. As a BRowns fans since 1964 it may be time to jump ship, pathetic so called team.
You must be in Believeland,nothing from the north even resembles a football team. Must be why Jones had them drink the Kool-Aid too. Your Mom said bring home some milk!
Hey ya kool-aid drinking ball flippin dumb ass. You probably wear some uniform pants to the game above your knee too, don`t ya. Don`t forget that milk.
I’m not sure who you are buck2355, but the fact is the team has no hope right now. You need to post some positive things. I bet your lips are orange from the kool-aid. Give the new coach a chance, maybe Romeo will hook him up with his old doughnut deal. And maybe a cream stick for you too. Go Browns!
Thats right you dont no who I am, But for 10 yrs now they couldnt get it right so I guess you don`t know who the Browns are either. That fact is about as positive as it gets, you probably need to get off the Kool-Aid for a few a smell the Roses. I say it won`t be long until your Mangina (you probably have a gina too)looks like Romeo the fat greasy basturd. And as far as the cream stick goes I dont know where that comes from but how would u like one jammed in. The Browns still suck dumb ass ! Maybe you should join the Steeler ranks with your mom.
Another great reply from a guy who lives in a double wide. Maybe your dad was John Phillips and you had sexual relations together. Oh wait, you still sleep with your MaMa not your PaPa.
There are several positives, great return man, linebacker Jackson makes lot’s of tackles that the front line misses, Dawson is awesome, Rodgers is great for 2 1/2 quarters. I could go on but I bet your out waiting for the short bus to pick you up this morning.
All I can say is that I, buck2355, am a closet Steelers fan. I sleep with a piss yellow towel in my mom’s bed. I love that Cleveland has nothing and I have it all. Show your knees and pay up you doughnut eatin’ kool-aid drinking ho! Go Steelers!!!!
