Palehosefan Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Jake Plummer, the QB of the Denver Broncos, is still wearing the #40 Pat Tillman patch on his helmet. He was Pat's teammate in Arizona, and now is looking to face a fine of up to 30,000 by the NFL for not taking the patch off. What the hell is the NFL thinking? Honestly how does that hurt ANYONE? I'm utterly confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I remember when Unitas passed, Manning wanted to honor Unitas and wear the black hightop shoes that were Unitas' trademark. The NFL wouldn't allow for it, because it didn't match the uniform of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxman352000 Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I don't see what the big deal is eathier. I think it is an excellent way to pay tribute to a fellow player who made one hell of a sacrafice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the big deal, but the NFL is looking to be consistent, no matter what. It is silly, but it is the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
