Mike Tomlin Incident

[l< j]

I think the punishment fits. But it just goes to show, yet again, how easily the P*tri*ts* got off. *

Don't have to. A Strength and Conditioning coach for the Jets, as we all know, actually tripped a Miami gunner during a return. His penalty from the league?

 

Nothing.

 

Wrong. Alosi was standing behind the white stripe, not on the field of play. An enormous distinction that some of you continue to ignore in your quest to absolve Tomlin.

 

Not to mention, the Jets suspended and then terminated him, making league action moot. They couldn't have fined a strength and conditioning coach very much money.

Steelers will indeed lose a late-round pick

A late-round draft pick will indeed be forfeited by the Steelers, regardless of whether the Ravens miss the playoffs. In the unlikely event that the tiebreaking process for the Ravens goes deep enough to consider net points and the Ravens miss the playoffs because the drive in question ended in a field goal and not a touchdown, the penalty will be enhanced.

 

Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports first reported that the Steelers will lose a late-round pick. As the league has announced, the specific penalty will be determined once the full draft order is finalized, which will happen after the postseason concludes — and after all compensatory picks are distributed.
