Philadelphia Eagles CB Sheldon Brown was fined $10,000 by the NFL for wearing a retro-style hockey goalie mask while running out of the tunnel in a 09-20-2009 game against the New Orleans Saints. According to an AP article, Brown was unhappy with his contract situation during the off-season, but the Eagles refused to restructure his deal. In a post-game interview, Brown commented on the mask, "I don't want to talk about it. That's the way my career has been and I'll let you figure that out."
