Titans coach Mike Mularkey had a simple message for Avery Williamson before Sunday's game against the Vikings: Wear the cleats, or Mularkey would be "disappointed."
So the Titans linebacker wore his patriotic cleats, despite being warned by an NFL representative last week he would be fined for violating the league's uniform code if he wore the shoes. Monday, Mularkey definitely had his player's back — he told reporters he would pay the league's fine.
“If he gets a fine, I’m going to take care of it,” Mularkey said, via TitanInsider.com.
In fact, people are standing in line to pay any forthcoming fine.
