Trip-Gate Fine
– via CBS Sports –
The NFL has fined Steelers coach Mike Tomlin $100,000 for interfering in Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones’ kickoff return last Thursday, and according to a league release, “in addition, because the conduct affected a play on the field, a modification or forfeiture of draft choices will be considered after the final order of the 2014 draft has been determined.”
Basically, as expected, the NFL has come down hard on Tomlin, though the league also decided a suspension wasn’t in order.
A day after the league’s vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said Tomlin should have been flagged on the play, this discipline was issued by Ray Anderson, the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations.
