The NFL is seriously No Fun! Their policies regarding the smallest things are just idiotic. Bears receiver Brandon Marshall was advised ahead of time he would be fined by the league if he wore his green cleats during their game against the Giants last night. The only thing is he was wearing them for a good cause. The color green is a symbol for mental health awareness week. Marshall himself was diagnosed with a personality disorder back in 2011, so this was meaningful for him. The NFL will more than likely fine him more than $10,000 for the offense, which went against “uniform policy”. Give me a break. If the league was somehow making money off of it however I guarantee you it would of been no problem. Well now Marshall is taking it even further and is selling the shoes on BuyBrandonsShoes.com. Whatever the winning bid is, that money will be donated to Marshall’s foundation, which is dedicated to helping people with mental illness. The bid is open until this Monday, and currently they are at $2,000. Hit the jump for more.
(Video) NFL: LOL, Is This The Creepiest Videobomb Ever??
I couldn’t stop laughing the first time I saw this. Bears running back Matt Forte was doing an interview in the team locker room when this “reporter” caught the eye of the camera man. I have no clue what he was trying to do, or if he is even a real reporter to begin with. But this is definitely funny, but also very strange. Hit the jump for the video.

NFL: Brandon Marshall Will Wear Green Tonight & Here’s What Will Happen After!
I understand that the NFL has rules for a reason, but they really should make exceptions on a case by case basis. As most fans have seen, the NFL helps raise breast cancer awareness every October for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month by sporting pink gear. Well Brandon Marshall wanted to wear the green cleats for tonight’s game in order to promote Mental Illness Awareness Week and the NFL said no. As it turns out, the NFL changed their mind and will allow it — but not without a fine. What?! Yep, BUT Brandon plans on turning that fine into something better. Check it out…

(Video) NFL: Bitter?! There’s One Player That Hasn’t Reached Out To Brian Urlacher Since He Retired
Hmmmm, this is interesting – although it really doesn’t matter since they don’t play together anymore.
