Different angle of Mike Tomlin moving onto the field of play
-
Listening to his presser now. He sounds like he got properly bollocked by the Rooneys. He's talking shit, like "I'm sorry, I've jeapordised the image of the game, it was my fault, I should have been aware" etc. all the stuff you'd expect to hear from the PR department.
-
Also kinda sounds like he's admitting it was intentional.

The "Steeler Way" is to deny the NFL existed before 1972.
It is also to deny they lucked out on the Immaculate Reception, to deny Renfro was in, to deny the refs robbed the Seahawks in the Superbowl, to deny Big Ben is an ass, to exalt praise on headhunter Harrison, etc.
The "Steeler Way" is also a combo of luck & skill. I have hated them since 1970, and it will never change.

I heard that. There is a neighbor near me with Steeler stickers on the bumper, guy wears a Steeler Jersey. Frigging bandwagon idiot.

The white line coaches are supposed to stand behind is 2 whole yards. Most personnel stay behind the yellow line, which is another 2 feet or so. So Tomlin was over 8 feet away from where he was supposed to, about 10 seconds after his long snapper began the play.

They're all over where I live. Most of my son's friends are Steelers fans. And this is in Northeast Ohio for cryin' out loud!

The NFL came down hard on Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, who was fined $100,000 Wednesday and may still cost his organization the modification or forfeiture of draft choices for interfering with Baltimore Ravens kick returner Jacoby Jones on Thanksgiving night.
The sanctions were imposed by NFL executive vice president of football operations Ray Anderson.The potential impact on Pittsburgh's draft choices "will be considered after the final order of the 2014 draft has been determined," the league announced in a statement

NFL mobile app just said Tomlin was fined 100k
c'mon. enough is enough. let the fine stand and then leave it at that.
talking about fucking with their draft picks is insane on the level of what the NCAA did to OSU for some kids selling gear to buy some cheeseburgers.

I agree in principle that they should probably not be messing around with a team's draft picks for something like this....after all, the Ravens still won the game.
But....WTF.....when it comes to the Steelers, hell, hammer their ass.....just because they are the Steelers.
-
and put all of their players up for the next expansion draft....

i know you're 1/2 kidding cuz if it happened to one of our coaches....................

Are they basically saying that, if they do better and win more games, that they will take away a higher pick? How will the order of the draft affect the pick? Will they force Baltimore and Pittsburgh to swap firsts if the Steeler's have a higher choice?
That all sounds pretty sketchy from the NFL's standpoint.

Yea, bottom line, I don't expect them to do anything really about taking away a draft choice or anything.....nor do I in my heart of hearts believe it is warranted. But.....if they do stick it to them, I ain't gonna cry....or even sing the blues.

In this regard, I will leave it up to Mr. Ed to sing the blues:
-
Lmao, Tomlin got fined about 2% of his annual salary. And he gets to stay on the "Rules" Comittee.

They weren't worth hating before 1970.

I think they are going to "modify" one or more picks. Probably move at least one round's pick to the end of the round. Which round(s) will depend upon where they finish.
It's quite possible the added punishment is because Tomlin is on the rules committee.
