    From the sounds of it this penalty has been in place for a while but never had to be enforced.

    This part is funny though:

    He probably made a cool few million for wearing the hat, so I won't lose sleep over this one.

    It's in the rulebook, 100,000 for the superbowl, 10,000 for a regular game.

    Actually your response is the stupidest thing I have heard all week. This is against the rules of the NFL. Companies like Gatorade and Coca Cola pay big money to be the main advertisement for the NFL. It is in the contract that you are not allowed to be wearing outside gear like this Vitamin Water hat. Also, if the NFL doesn't fine him this much money there would be plenty of other players out there doing the same thing. Easy money for the player unless the NFL keeps it under control. 100k will prove the point that they mean business.

    This had to be done!

    Brian Urlacher's Vitamin Water Hat on eBay
    Posted Apr 23rd 2007 11:46AM by Michael David Smith

    The Vitamin Water hat that Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher wore at Super Bowl media day -- the hat that caused the NFL to fine him $100,000 -- can now be yours on eBay.

    Some employees of a Chicago radio station got the hat from Urlacher, and they were discussing on the air what they wanted to do with it. A woman named Crystal Stupar called in and said she was pregnant and that her husband is in Afghanistan, and that they could use the money from selling the hat. So the radio station gave the hat to Stupar. Here's how she describes it at the auction site:

    You are bidding on the actual hat Brian Urlacher wore during the Super Bowl Media Day. I obtained this hat through a contest from B96 a Chicago, IL. Radio Station, where Brian Urlacher donated the hat. The Authentic Vitaminwater Hat, that Brian Urlacher was fined $100,000 by the NFL for wearing during Super Bowl Media Day. He was promoting a sponsor not authorized by the league. This is the first time such a fine has been levied. This is an all black hat with the word vitaminwater on the front inside a yellow and white bottle, the back of the hat has the same bottle with vitaminwater in it also. This hat is a fitted hat with the size 7 3/4 tag on the inside.

    The current bid is $5,000.
