Jake The Snake Plummer Honors Pat Tillman Against NFL RulesSays that if he's fined, he'll take his fine "like a man" 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. 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." posted by Ace at 01:14 PM

the odd aspect of the Plummer story is that he wants to display the sticker that the NFL authorized players to wear during week 2 (the week the NFL publicly honored Tillman). why not let the players wear the sticker for the remainder of the year? especially players like Plummer (and Tedy Bruschi of the Pats) who played with Tillman in college. (BTW Plummer played with Tillman in college and in the pros.) Posted by: sonofnixon on October 12, 2004 04:56 PM
I saw this story last night, on ESPN's MNF pregame show, and the reporter giving the story said that Jake said it was just too hard to take that sticker off his helmet. As small a gesture as it ends up being, it really elevates him above the rest of the NFL, and many of us civilians. Posted by: rev. rick on October 12, 2004 06:14 PM

When I heard about the fines I was stunned. What a bunch of crap! If the powers that be over at the NFL are so afraid of alienating football fans, maybe they should rethink the whole cost of tickets to a game. But I digress. I honestly think every player should still be wearing Tillman's number...fine be damned! I never paid much attention to Plummer before, but you better believe I will now. P.S. Don't you be mocking me with that Miami Vice stuff now! I've been through this with one man already, I don't need another one. P.P.S. If I play Columbian drug lord hostage, will you play Crockett and come rescue me? Posted by: Da Goddess on October 13, 2004 05:17 AM
