Tomlin, Steelers possibly facing fines and draft pick forfeiture

[dcm1602]

Pats cheat for years...Belichick gets fined 500k, pats lose 1 draft pick.

Mike Tomlin is a dick for 5 seconds, gets fined 100k...steelers lose draft pick?

The fine is appropriate, the losing of draft picks is ridiculous when you consider spygate

Can't really compare a 6th/7th round pick to a first rounder

A league source told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport on Wednesday that the incident will be reflected in the grades for Clete Blakeman's officiating crew.

Officials are graded on every play of every game. When there is an incorrect call, it's referred to as a "downgrade." Blakeman's crew is expected to receive a downgrade for not calling a penalty on Tomlin when he stepped onto the playing field.

The upshot is that the Tomlin-Jacoby Jones controversy might affect postseason placement for Blakeman's crew.
