NFL Hates Wine (Apparently)

Officials of the American National Football League have given official rebuke to Green Bay Packers Cornerback Charles Woodson for "endorsing" his new wine during an interview. According to the football league's code of conduct, no player is permitted to endorse alcoholic beverages. Woodson, who is a self-proclaimed oenophile and one of the stars of the Packers, was chastised after giving an interview at the release party of his new wine -24 by Charles Woodson.

I guess there is a part of me that understands why the league would go out on a limb to publicly criticize the interview, but really? There's a huge difference between discussing a tasteful wine label you've put a lot of time and effort into and being paid a million dollars to have your mug slapped on a Bud Light commercial. Nevertheless, the official slap on the wrist won't stop the player from putting his new wine on the market. It's a boutique label, planning to only bottle a little under 1,000 cases this year.
