As someone else pointed out, if it's indeed because the socks are too short can you imagine what sort of jobs exist in the NFL?...Sock watcher?

Well, just confirms that between him and Jess, no style (Romo) and no talent (Jess)

I'm glad to see the NFL isn't bias.

I agree this is just nit picking by the league. I understand you don't want players running around with advertisement of products on their uniforms but having a shirt that is not tucked or socks that are not at the so called proper length is taking it a bit too far.

Can someone find out what the exact problem was? This is uhhhhh....curious.

but it wasn't as if Romo was wearing yellow with red or some other hideous combination.

The NFLs front office are communists.

more like fascists

I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary uniform wise last game. Seems like some guys are justifying their jobs or something. Its like those Home Owner's Association busy bodies driving around the neighborhood with a ruler just hoping to find a lawn 1/4 inch too tall.

Uniform Fines:

NFL player fine money is split evenly among four organizations: the Brian Piccolo Cancer Fund, the Vincent T. Lombardi Cancer Research Center, ALSO Neuromuscular Research Foundation and the NFLPA Player Assistance Trust.

The number of players fined on any given week for uniform violations varies from as few as 5 or 6 to as many as 75 to 100.

The NFL collects fines immediately and then returned after an appeal or settlement.

Players can and usually do appeal, and the fines are sometimes reduced or rescinded.

Any player who is fined for uniform or equipment violations may contact the NFLPA legal department or his team's Regional Director at the NFLPA to appeal the fine. Players generally have ten days to appeal such fines.

Fines range from $5,000 to $25,000. Wearing a college hat on the field is an example of a $25,000 violation.

Foreign Substances on Body/Uniform is $10,000 or $15,000 (Additional fines may be imposed on team management and coaching staffs for condoning, permitting, etc., violations in this area.)

Other Uniform/Equipment uniform violation is $5,000 or $10,000

On Field Preseason and Regular Season uniform violation is $10,000 or $20,000

Playoffs (Including Pro Bowl) uniform violation is $50,000 or $75,000

Super Bowl uniform violation is $100,000

As long as they're doling out fines for uniform violations, they should fine the entire Commanders team for wearing cleats that look like penalty flags.

How do they get away with that?

Romo and Gurode were involved in a wardrobe malfunction that exposed Andre Gurode's nipples. Burnett was fined for saying it was 'hot.'

That we driving me nuts. On inside running plays, I kept thinking runs were going to get called back, and then the flag would just 'disappear.'
