Week 13 Fine Blotter Part One: Tomlin Trouble

• Pittsburgh Steelers:  Mike Tomlin, fined $100,000 for that stunt.  Draft picks are probably going to be pulled.

I want one question on this:  If they're going draft picks on this, then why the Hell is Mike Tomlin allowed any football activities, for, AT MINIMUM, the rest of the season?

Draft picks is the next step UP from suspensions.  I get the seriousness of it -- I get the knowledge the league knows that Tomlin is a fucking liar on this.

Mike Tomlin should be fired for this, by the league.  We're talking, probably, the equivalent of a show-cause at this point (a period in which the NCAA can impose a de facto ban by forcing any school who wishes to hire someone to show cause as to why).

I have no problem with draft picks, as long as Tomlin is banned for the balance of the season (and if they want to tack on a meeting before which he can be reinstated -- and toss his ass from the Rules Committee too...).

The more I look at this, the more I think of that idiot from the Arena Football League playoffs a couple years back.

I mean, think about it this way:  Seattle vs. New England in the Super Bowl.  What stops either coach from basically paying that $100K and a draft pick or two to "accidentally" ensure their team wins?

This is a joke, and needs to stop yesterday.
