The Orange Mane John Lynch Stupid Fine Fund
 

We could do this through Pay Pal - how about it TJ

I'll start the ball rolling with 25 dollars

If we have enough support here and we e mail CBS this would be a story guaranteed and it would be our way to show support directly to John.

I dont think it is allowed Baja .... i remember some passing of the Hat for KK , and the NFL came down hard on the Broncos for it

I'm not talking about his team mates Spider I'm talking about us doing it here.

The NFL can not bully us now can thay..

Nice idea!
I'd be willing...

Sign me up for $25.00

The hell with the NFL!!!!

That was the best play of the game. Well worth 25 bones.

good point ........ No the NFL cant bully us

Baja you should start this on the Broncos board and the freak board.

OK Meck I'll start it on the DPO will you do it on the freak board I'm not registered there or if I am I forgot my password

This could be a great way to show the NFL what the core fans think about the sissifying of the NFL

Who's collecting the bucks?

I think its a great idea...show the NFL that we wont tolerate their biasness toward the ****s..err colts

That's why I've been calling for it quietly....I'll do it though, I'm getting tired of the "sissification" of the NFL.

In 2003 a New York Yankees message board collected money to pay for Don Zimmer's fine after his "fight" with Pedro Martinez. If I recall, Zimmer thanked them for the effort but paid the fine himself and asked for the donations from the message board users to be given to a charity instead.

Zimmer's fine wasn't anywhere near $75,000, though.

Ok Baja...I'll hit up the freaks and ask Damsel to hit the Broncos board. We have quiet a few media contacts that we met along the way this year. Each and every one of the names listed belows got an Orange Force One Bus card that has a link to the OrangeMane on it.

Scott Hastings-KOA Radio
Roach-Koa Radio
Steve Gottsagen-7 news Sportscaster
Chris Tanaka-Fox 31 Sports Producer
Tim Lewis-Espn Radio


We have all their contact info and they have the Manes. It wouldnt' surprise me if some of these guys lurk around here. We met more of these guys but this is more than enough to get the word out that the Broncos fans think this Lynch deal is bogus.

Before we get too far into this though we may want to bounce this off of Taco.

Taco you around? You cool with the Orangemane raising some hell?

If it's not allowed, we could donate the money to Lynch's favorite charity...that's what I was thinking...

Does he have his own charity???

yup sure does....phone # is listed and here is the website.

Wow...look at all the programs he has going. Nice work John!

Man .. he does get involved in a community doesnt he ........ Impressive

I'm up for 30.00 bucks, is someone really setting this up? Or wabbit, can you find out how we can do this through the team?

It is a travesty to slander the reputation of a man of the quality of Mr. John Lynch and this fan based collection to pay his fine is a very good way to stand up for our beliefs. So many times in today's world we sit back and say nothing when we see a wrong thing being done. At some point we the little people need to stand up for something. Although in the grand scheme of things this is a small matter it is none the less a worthy cause. "They" are ruining our favorite pastime don't we owe it to ourselves to speak up in a way that can be heard.

With Meck and Damsel's help this will become a playoff story. The networks love these human interest stories. So what do you guys say........

I'm actually on the phone with them now...

I'll kick in a little scratch if we can legitamately do something like this

The team won't touch this with a 10 foot poll. I'll make the media contacts and spread the word via the boards. I guess we just need clearance from Taco and we need a pay pal account.

I highly doubt that when we collect the money would go towards the fine but there is no reason we couldn't send it straight to the Lynch Foundation.

Maybe there is a pay pal already there?

Sweet!

I will pony up some cash. I was gonna fly to indy for the game but I cant make it now so I have some extra laying around I would be more than happy to donate to Lynch's hit fund
