But it's a rule, probably written into every NFL contract too.

Too bad.

The fine is HUGE and excessive, but the fine IS justified...maybe not the amount of it, but the decision is right.

Yes that amount, because that is what is specified by the NFL. The rule was not created a while back, and the NFL is just enforcing it. All these rules are written in print, and Brian signed that when he came into the NFL, and if he wants to complain about it the NFL can just open their file cabinet, dust off his folder and pull out that contact which he signed. That being said, somehow Vitamin Water must have been behind this, they get crazy publicity, and it is a heck of a lot cheaper than running an ad campaign.

Sure is! $100,000 vs a sixty second spot in the SB. They have a good advertising team.
