Cameron Heyward Cuts Deal With NFL Over Eye Black Cancer Tribute Heyward said he plans to honor his late father "in other ways." Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward announced on Twitter Tuesday night that he would no longer be wearing the eye black with the tribute message "Iron Head" during games after cutting a deal with the NFL. Heyward had been honoring his late father Craig "Ironhead" Heyward, who played in the NFL for 11 seasons. He died following a battle with bone cancer in 2006. The defensive end first donned the eye black during the Steelers' Week 5 game against the San Diego Chargers, and again during their Week 6 game against the Arizona Cardinals. For his desire to honor his father, Heyward was fined $5,787 for the first uniform violation and was facing a $11,576 fine for his second "offense."To mitigate the public backlash the NFL has received for punishing him, Heyward met with league officials on Tuesday. To close the controversy, Heyward and the league agreed that the second fine would be significantly reduced as long as Heyward stopped putting "Iron Head" on his eye black, according to ESPN.

He shook my hand breed tub and walked away
Goodell needs to kill himself over this stuff.
Teams that draft well do so no matter where they pick. Teams that draft poorly do so no matter where they pick I want my team to win games and draft well
I dunno, I get where they're coming from. They can't allow some eyeblack messages and not others.
There shouldn't be any rule about eyeblack messages.
So they should be allowed to write freak and queynte on their eyeblack if they wish?
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating
Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about
So it turns out, Italian Seafood was right an everyone can go freak themselves.
