"Plummer expects fine after wearing decal
Broncos QB honors ex-teammate Tillman with helmet sticker
DENVER - Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer wore a sticker on his helmet Sunday honoring former teammate Pat Tillman, even though he expects the NFL to fine him for it.
Tillman, the former Arizona Cardinals safety who walked away from the NFL to join the U.S. Army Rangers and fight in Afghanistan, was killed in action in April.
Plummer was warned of the fine before last weeks game and chose to remove the decal.
That was a decision I made and I was upset about it, he said.
Asked recently about Plummers sticker, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the leagues long-standing policy prohibits personal messages on uniforms or helmets. Violators could face fines of $5,000.
Ill get fined, Plummer said. Ill take my fine like a man.
He said he would ask the NFL to give the fine money to the Pat Tillman Foundation, which was set up to honor him after his death."
wow...when i heard about the NFL fining him i thought hed take it off so he wouldnt get fined, boy was i wrong, what a great kid and a true sportsman, i wish they were all like this
Oh, btw: he gave the Tillman Foundation $30,000 (the fine the league was going to fine him last week if he wore the tribute then).
