Tarell Brown of the 49ers Was Fined $5,250 For Wearing Sleeves, and He Tweeted the NFL Letter, Which Included Login/Password Info

Tarell Brown, a cornerback on the 49ers, was fined $5,250 by the NFL for wearing red sleeves Sunday night against the Lions. You see, the “designated undergarment” color for San Francisco is white. How could he! The NFL explained this to Brown in a letter, which he posted online. Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area appears to have been the first to see it:

What Brown didn’t notice was that the letter contained user/password info in the event he wanted to appeal the fine. Wonder if any fans felt compelled to appeal the fine on behalf of Brown, whose salary for 2012 is $800,000? Brown’s last tweet: “No stress, no worries.” [Maiocco via Adam]

That’s a whole lot of words to tell the guy he is fined for wearing the wrong color.

According to that letter, he has to appeal to Merton Hanks, who spend his entire career not getting fined for his non-uniform neck. So there’s a chance this goes away.

You must not know many southerners. Suns out guns out. If they have to wear a shirt it is best to go sleeveless…only if a shirt is mandatory tho.

Depends on the Southerner. Hicks – yes, suns out, guns out. As for the genteel, fratty crowd, sleeves.

so many funny lines forgotten

There were people from Columbus wearing knee-length fall jackets at that USMNT game last week. It was 75-80 degrees.
When I lived in the Southwest tons of people wore jeans as soon as it hit 75.

WWOS I felt the same way. My work so obnoxious lately I pretty much have to cram an extra 8 hours somewhere else in my week to have time away from work. I was 1/2 way to CBUS when I could even think about anything.
