Jake The Snake Plummer Honors Pat Tillman Against NFL Rules
Says that if he's fined, he'll take his fine "like a man"
Nick sends this story over.
Asked recently about Plummer's sticker, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league's long-standing policy prohibits personal messages on uniforms or helmets. Violators could face fines of $5,000.
"I'll get fined," Plummer said. "I'll take my fine like a man."
He said he would ask the NFL to give the fine money to the Pat Tillman Foundation, which was set up to honor him after his death.
It's just a small gesture, and it can't bring Tillman back to us, nor help win the peace in Afghanistan.
But really, a lot of what's good in life is just small gestures.
Sort of like that Miami Vice episode with Glenn Frye (the first one-- Smuggler's Blues), where Rico doesn't have a clean undershirt to go with his banana-yellow zoot suit, and Crocket just opens up his t-shirt drawer and says, "Here, man. Take mine. We're gonna need to look sharp when we meet Reyes about the drop."
And then he sticks his pinky into a bag of coke and tastes it and says, "Mmm. Pure Columbian snow."
