I read in the paper that Matt Birk was fined $5000 by the NFL for taking off a microphone that he was suppose to wear. He said it came loose and was pushing into his skin. He is appealing the fine.
It went on to say that a center or guard of every team is required to wear a microphone.
Now this is news to me and I know everything about football. So how does this work? Do Connolly, Mankins and Waters get together before a game and play rock,sissors, paper to see who wears the mike?
How many of you knew about this rule before reading it here? Be honest or your nose will grow.
EDIT: Here is a linky.
