The NFL really set themselves up to be mocked hard with this one. Gore getting an arbitrary $500 more for a uniform violation just drives it home.

Not really. Everyone knows the NFL has uniform rules, and if they're broken, players are subject to fines. It comes down to "safety regulations" and marketing. They don't really mention the last one, but that's the real reason since every piece of the uniform is branded, and companies like to see their logo on uniforms presented proudly. If Nike can't say 'our socks were worn by NFC Champion Frank Gore to score the game-winning TD, you should buy these socks because of that' they get pissed and tell the NFL about it.

Still something intrinsically wrong in "We'll fine this guy for doing something unsafe, but we'll fine this other guy more for not flashing a logo on his socks.

When I saw this on ESPN I started laughing - Golden Boy indeed.

Not necessarrily.. my point being that Brees will panic and throw stupid interceptions where Ben will stand in the pocket and let a defender bounce off his gut before taking off in similar situations. Keep stats all you want, I'd take Ben over Drew any day.

And I hate saying that as a Browns fans considering he's shoved down our throats in this area as if we're sorority girls.

I'd go Brees over Burger. Speaking of fat boys we need another big running back like the Bus in the NFL.

I was thinking today about the last Super Bowl the 49ers were in, and it made me think of Natrone Means.

Hey, Trent Williams, you just got selected to your first Pro Bowl! What are going to do now?

"I'm going to fly to Hawaii, get in a club brawl, get cracked over the head with a bottle, and miss the game!"

I can't believe we have another week of Super Bowl coverage to go. Is anyone outside of 49ers fans going to be rooting for them?

I don't really have an interest in either team. I'm hoping for a good game. I'd like to see Ed Reed or Randy Moss get a ring finally.

I would like to see the 49ers win.

I would rather the Niners win if only to keep Lewis away from the ring.

He already has one though... I cannot stand Jim Harbaugh. He seems like the biggest asshole in the stadium every Sunday - no small feat.

Yep, Lewis already has one from their 2000 Super Bowl. Randy Moss on the other hand still doesn't have one, and I'd like to see it stay that way.

No doubt. As amusing as his run-in was with Lions head coach, Jim Schwartz, last year the way he handled it afterward was definitely borderline unprofessional (not to mention the way he handled the handshake in the first place that lead to the incident).

Jim Harbaugh is awesome. Is it because he yells at the refs? Both Harbaughs do that, Jim is just more animated.

With a name like that he would have been perfect for the American Gladiators. It's a shame he only really had that one good year in 94.

One of the reasons.

Gym Shorts shouldn't have been talking shit across the field. It was laughs when Harbaugh said it was his fault because he shook Schwartz's hand too hard.

I don't mind either Harbaugh. I prefer animated jackasses to boring robots any day.

Though I love having a boring robot as an offensive coordinator!

I am. So sick of the Ray Lewis Tent Revival Tour.

It's almost as if people are too stupid to use something called a remote, who would have guessed!.
