The NFL may fine Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin at least $100,000 and take a draft pick away from the Steelers for being on the field of play and possibly preventing Baltimore's Jacoby Jones from returning a kickoff return for a touchdown during Thursday night's showdown.

According to CBS Sports:

    Steelers coach Mike Tomlin's near-interference with Ravens kick returner Jacoby Jones on Thursday night is the subject of “an aggressive review,” according to a league source and is likely to result in stiff financial penalties for the coach and the team, and perhaps the forfeiture of a draft pick.

Wow!!

I gotta say... I am losing interest in the NFL. It is not gone, but diminishing for sure.

You have to watch the tape Lando....it was pretty blatant and he not only almost obstructed a player, he almost bumped into one of the Line Judges.  Not something the league can just ignore.

Oh, I quite agree Chief!  I saw it when it happened and in multiple replays.  Something needs to be done and it needs to be significant. 

It's just that I am becoming jaded towards sports in general, I guess.
