Honorable Mention Details
Ben Roethlisberger
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger was warned by the NFL to cease and desist or pay a $5,000 fine if he continued to write messages on his white Nike game shoes. Roethlisberger wrote the number "40" on the sides of his shoes to honor former Arizona Cardinal Pat Tillman as well as the letters "PFJ" (Pray for Jesus) on each toe, a message Roethlisberger has carried onto football fields since he was a high school sophomore in Ohio. Tillman, the former safety who walked away from the NFL to join the U.S. Army Rangers and fight in Afghanistan, was killed in action in April 2004. NFL policy prohibits personal messages on uniforms or helmets. Roethlisberger did not continue the tribute after the warning and was not fined by the NFL.
