When it comes to the NFL, if you're not cheating you're not trying.

Dirty move? Sure. But considering it looked like it was going to get taken the house, what did he have to lose at the time? A 15 yard penalty (that wasn't called). Worth it. I think if not for him smiling and laughing about it later, the NFL would've just slapped him with a 50k fine or so and let it go. And if the Steelers managed to win, that wouldn't have mattered to him. The real threat is the loss or modification of draft picks, which honestly may get forgotten about by the end of the season and nothing will happen (which would suit the NFL since it would keep Steeler nation happy.)

f that. it could easily have gotten a penalty TD awarded. and i don't give 2 shits about "steeler nation". any SB contention team (i.e. team that's won the big game in the past 10 years) can afford to be brought down a notch. the NFL should not be sending the message that "cheating is bad--unless you cheat really well & win, and then it's ok".

no, i say fuck fining him. suspend him for the rest of the season.

Which is why he's getting hammered so hard. Not to mention he's on the rules committee.

If you believe a 100k fine is a slap on the wrist you are indeed a fucking moron. You just hate the Steelers. He got punished, its over with, get on with your life.

Mike Tomlin's $100,000 fine applied in real-world terms - Baltimore Beat Down

the guy makes almost 6 million per year. 100k is 1/60th of his salary. 100k may not be a drop in the bucket to your average linebacker, but it's chump-change to one of the highest paid coaches in the NFL.

ai contrarire, you just love the steelers, and they can do no wrong in your eyes.

yeah well my daddy can beat up your daddy.

45-10. sucks to be RG3. Chiefs are 1 win from coasting to the playoffs though--as I expected. If they do REALLY well and win the last 3, and denver drops 2...they could even win the division (it won't happen though).

patsies tiptoed bass-ackwards into another victory on sheer luck.

tell me about it. I made a bet with a guy at the beginning of the year and I've needed the Mass. Patriots to lose one more game for like 3 weeks.

Lions game was hilarioussss to watch. And once again, Tom Brady shows why he's one of greatest qb's to ever step on the field.
