Not that I care in the least, and I really do like Tim Tebow (even as a quarterback), but given the heavy-handed approach of the NFL and its regulations, I wonder if we will see a fine issued soon?
NFL and NCAA rules forbid players from marking their uniforms…
… The rule covers the helmet, jersey, pants, shoes, tape, wristbands, and headbands. No writing on any part of the body. Before each game uniform reps — former NFL players — prowl the sidelines looking for violators. When the teams go back into the locker room before the game starts, they are given a list of players who are in violation of the rule.
If they come out for the kickoff without removing the writing, they will be fined. According to Johnny Rembert, the uniform rep in Jacksonville and a 10-year NFL veteran, fines start at $5,000.
I'm not a believer, so I should preface this with the fact that I am happy Tebow and Colt McCoy are excelling at the quarterback position this season. Both bring an exciting dynamic to the game, and both have real strong convictions in their faiths.
