Based on your income? Right....




Anyways, its chump change to urlacher.

Are you confused? He was saying $10 to him = $100,000 to Urlacher. He's not pretending to be rich.

Considering it says "$100,000 is the standard fine for such a violation at the Super Bowl. A violation during the regular season is $10,000. It is $50,000 at the Pro Bowl", I think that knowledge was already avaliable to them if they cared to find it.

Yes, but maybe nobody realized that the player fined would have his picture spread all over the internet with their product's hat. For $10,000 that type of advertising is a bargain.

seriously. Isn't it several thousand dollars per 30 second time slot for a super bowl commercial?

I can't believe that crap. I assume the league thinks Urlacher got compensated for it? But how do they know he got anywhere near 100k?

I don't think a top priority of the NFL was to make sure Urlacher would come out ahead after the fine.....

:laugh:

I thought it was well over that. Over $1 million.

its 2.6 million per 30 secs

That is the best $100,000 advertising investment one could hope for. Vitamin Water is definitely happy they sponsored him now and I am sure they will help with the fine and then some.

Vitamin Water could not be happier about this. First they get him to wear the gear during the superbowl = instant return on their investment. All of a suddent he gets a huge fine, it's all over radio and Internet = 20x return on investment. Best $100,000 "fine" they ever had to pay.

And for the record, I do NOT think it is excessive fine by the NFL. They have corporate sponsors and you can't have everyone coming in wearing and promoting whatever they want. This is pretty standard business practice. Otherwise you'd have players coming in covered in ads from golden palace, busch light, tampons...everything.

Yes, but this was not during the Super Bowl. It was during the Super Bowl media day.

Anyone think this will be a new trend? Pay athletes (and cover their fine) to illegally wear advertising gear. They got way more publicity from this news than they did from him wearing some stupid hat. I know I hadn't heard of this company until today.

A DUI doesn't upset the NFLs sponsors.

Right, because the player was drinking an Official NFL sponsored Beer.

This happens all the time, same as the stuff the players wear that the refs don't catch during the game. The company is paying the fine.
