League to consider stripping draft picks from Pittsburgh Steelers due to melanin
 

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin wants to pay his $100,000 fine and move on.

Tomlin, who was fined $100,000 by the NFL for standing on the field in the path of Ravens kickoff returner Jacoby Jones on Thanksgiving, issued a statement confirming that he accepts the punishment (not that he had much of a choice) and adding that he doesn’t want to talk about it any longer.

“As I stated yesterday, I take full responsibility for my actions, and I apologize for causing negative attention to the Pittsburgh Steelers organization. I accept the penalty that I received. I will no longer address this issue as I am preparing for an important game this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins,” Tomlin said.

It’s easy to see why Tomlin doesn’t want to talk about the issue any longer, although he’s sure to be questioned about it for at least several more months, as the NFL has announced that it will also consider stripping draft choices from the Steelers as part of Tomlin’s punishment. Forfeiture of draft picks will make this a story in the NFL long after Tomlin wants to move on.

lol'd at thread title

@uh-oh am I lying tho?

they tryna put this nicca back in his place man, smh

well they better just stop trying to win lol so they can get a high draft pick.
but NFL said the draft pick deduction won't be decided until after the season basically

That's why head coaches can't be black.

OBV.

when bill belicheat did something similar, they laughed and then labeled him a coaching genius

then add in the fact that spygate recieved similar penalties, smh

spygate = standing close to the sideline

I believe the refs are also being penalized for not flagging unsportsmanlike or one that has to do with unfair play

I knew it was cuz he was black.

And hear I thought I was being racist.

na you wasn't

that's not nearly as bad as Tomlins tho

So now racism comes in degrees art?

Its the same shit man.

Its not even close to Tomlin's. Play wasn't going that way and he wasn't going to get back into it in time anyway.

lol i really dont think it has anything to do with race.

lmao @ race

lmaololrofl

eddie excuse machine headed into full gear

you gonna use this as an excuseto cancel your bet about the playoffs, too?

racist conspiracy, drone strike, chyeahhh to thread

He isn't cancelling it.

I'm getting my money.

lol how much/what was the bet? steelers going to the playoffs?

20 that we finish 8-8

he ain't gettin no money I am

and no that's no the same thing, but he didn't get fined for it

he purposely got in his way during the play. they called him a coaching genius for it

mike tomlin stood still and didn't disrupt the play

tell me I'm lying

and why is diode even mentioning bets when he owes me to this day exactly $180?

and tell me what the penalty for spygate was

you are lying

he sidestepped into his way

a full 6 yards from where he was supposed to be. on the opposite side of the white line he isnt supposed to be in.

he cost the ravens a touchdown in what was shaping up to be a blowout, and kept his team in it.

i thought it was an EXCELLENT move by tomlin, i think it IS great coaching. i wouldnt be mad at harbaugh if he did it. but thats before i realized what the penalty for it is. 100k is brutal, and if draft picks get thrown in thats even worse

but he can't take back the fact he did it now that he knows the punishment

its not because he's black, its because it was blatant and directly affected the outcome of that play

the draft picks part is why i KNOW it is racially motivated.

super blatant. that very slight hesitation it caused jones almost definitely cost him the touchdown.

i don't see why they should punish the whole team for something a coach did, even if he is the head coach. it ain't like the GM turned the lights out and tripped him with a sprinkler

but its the steelers

so i aint gonna argue for them to keep draft picks, even a 6th or 7th that might potentially one day chip in to beating the ravens down the road lol

no it isnt ed

it also forced him inside

he still couldve got caught, he was exhausted, BUT

it did cause a minor hesitation, and it did turn him inside, toward the angle the defender took to track him down.

if i take my bias out of it, jacoby probably wouldve been tripped up 10-15 yards later than he did.

but he might not have, and thats the problem. we don't know what woulve happend.

yea it is

it was blantant, but he didn't touch anyone there wasn't even a flag thrown

what I showed you with belicheat no it isn't the same thing, but you are retarded if you think he shouldn't have gotten fined for it. he made SEVERAL moves to disrupt the play (during an interception at that)

y'all talkin about it was meaningless, how we suppose to determine that? by the end of the play, cuz in the middle of the play is when belicheat did that

so it was cool because the person who intercepted it fell? belicheat had his back to the play, so he didn't even know his player fell

but belicheat is a coaching genius and doesn't get penalized nor fined

but when this nicca does one step and stands out of bounds on the sideline (cuz if you notice, belicheat is actually on the field too as well) you fine him 100k and take draft picks from the team.

he was being too rambunctious son. teach that nicca a lesson. put him back in his place

it's because the patriots are babied by the nfl lol not because the coaches are a certain color

eddie's personal shortcomings and persecution complex manifesting themselves through mike tomlin ITT

oh ok so this is all one big coincidence?

coincidence? no
he's being punished for his actions..mn

you not hearing me

how is taking draft picks a just punishment?

you are not understanding what I'm saying art.

but you all don't believe in racism? I'm bout to show y'all

lol
it's not like they already took the pick tho. they are discussing it and either way won't take affect until offseason
saying its cuzracism is laughable tbh

thats cuz you are ignoring racism bro

its ok. you think its 2013 and it doesnt exist

yo like i said in another thread, you are a weird steelers fan


just stop


i dont see them taking draft picks away and if they do its ridiculous


but all your steeler threads make me cringe

dog I haven't responded to you since I wanted to meet up with you

why do you even try to talk to me? don't hmu til you on the east coast so we can meet up I trust you saved my numb

bill also paid 500k

for spygate yea, I just looked it up

but he should have been suspended

Yep...$20 if you're 8-8 or worse.

You've got 1 loss to go. Dolphins, Bengals, Packers, Browns.

I mean, you could pull it out I guess.

yo, that nicuh played a quick game of imaginary skip-it.
yo, did you see the chester cat grin? fake ass omar epps.

they have angles that are changing people who were defending him mind. I've seen the other footages. I wanna hear sounds on that sideline..

he did that shit on purpose. & if he did this to become the 2nd coming of Hines Ward here, then bravo to him.

was this directed at me? because I have no clue what you're talking about



Just stop making Steelers threads until the seasons over, k
