We need more pink. Pink helmets, pink jock straps, pink grass/turf etc….Why not completely sell out when you’re so lose NFL?

I hate the NFL. Although nothing makes me angrier than the fine on Chad Johnson (even though I’m not a fan of his) when he pretended to bribe an official. The NFL is so money-hungry that they will do anything,

Great… now we need to listen to this baby and fanbase cry about how he’s treated unfairly.

Just looked at the Bears schedule, and then the Packers schedule.

The Packers will still win this division by 2 or 3 games.

As far as the pink thing, we all support cancer research but the Susan Komen/Planned Parenthood controversy shows that these noble institutions often get corrupted by politics and money. Moreover, breast cancer has crowded out funding for other indications that are less effectively treated treated than CaB and in many cases affect more people. How about turn November in colorectal cancer month or heart disease month? Just a thought.

What, you want to give these meatheads ANOTHER color to complain about? My God, they can’t handle the pink!

A Marshall, wearing orange shoes wasn’t cool. Smart players follow the rules and dont hand out advice when they dont have their own house in order. A Marshall. Something you should learn, stay off twitter and play football.

Ten LARGE? No Big Deal. No , it may not be a big deal to a pro in the NFL, now…However, is it any wonder why so many players end up broke? This kind of mindset demonstrates how out of touch with the real world they are, until of course, the real world pays a visit directly after career’s end.

Nail on the head bro. Get a rookie contract, buy a mansion, Bentley, ten pounds of bling, and hire all your homeys. Then under perform or get injured and Poof! Money all gone. How did that happen?

First, Bennett isn’t a moron. He went to Vandy and they require incoming student athletes meet the same academic standard as any other student. That’s why they typically stink at football; they can’t take in the mouth breathers that typically play for Alabama.

Can anyone list a couple of rules that the fines are less than $10,500? I bet there are worse offenses that cost the player less money.

wow, so wearing orange shoes is worse than dangerous illegal hits that could seriously hurt someone.

I think there’s enough evidence out there to show the NFL doesn’t actually actually care about player safety.

Before you know it, the NFL will be monitoring their undergarment for hash marks and not the one’s on the field and the players will be fined for this too!

Come on NFL, just let them play….there is more to worry about than the shoes they wear, why not be more concerned with retired players pensions first.

He’s an absolute moron. He has done this before. He was told not to do it, so naturally, he did it. He is a child that will be one of many that are flat broke 3 years after retirement. You can’t fix stupid.

Sure, Turn off your television. Or get a black and white tv. Problem solved.

Sadly, the second I saw Marshall with those shoes on, I knew the fine was coming. Sometimes I hate it when I’m right……… Yo Rog, lighten the hell up already!

Yeah, who wants to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research? Who cares anyway?

Does anyone realize that most of the pink items worn are auctioned off and the funds are donated towards breast cancer research? Not to mention the publicity that the NFL generates during the month.

Grow up. You sound like children.

Wear something outside of the work place dress code, get fined $5,000…do it again & get fined $10,000, then let another moron talk you into doing it again.

May want to rethink your money management stragety Earl.

The NFL needs to lossen its sphincter when it comes to stuff like this. I mean the Bears DO have orange in their color scheme. It’s not like Chad Johnson wearing his gold shoes when he was with the Bengals. It shouldn’t matter what color the shoes are so long as it is part of the team’s colors.
