Delayed Response

Chicago Sun-Times:

Urlacher fined $100,000 for Super Bowl hat

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher was fined $100,000 by the NFL for wearing a cap during Super Bowl media day that promoted a sponsor not authorized by the league.

NFL rules prohibit gear that advertises any product but a designated sponsor, league spokesman Brian McCarthy said Wednesday.

Urlacher was fined for drinking vitaminwater and wearing a vitaminwater hat during the media session in Miami leading to the title game. Gatorade is the NFL's official drink.
Um...wasn't the Super Bowl in early February? This vitaminwater revelation must have come from a "Super Bowl - The Lost Episode" tape.

Oh well, gotta give the NFL Network something to talk about in April...
