Just read that the league is still considering a modification, or forfeiture of 2014 draft choices........

I doubt it will happen. I think they want it to appear as though they have Tomlin by the testicles, and not just letting him off with a fatty fine.
What up Misko!

The tackle box, as defined by the NFL, runs tackle to tackle and up to three yards down the field past the line of scrimmage. Using that definition, Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith should have been flagged for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell late in the Thursday night game.
Bell, as you can clearly see by the screenshots below, is clearly outside of the left tackle and in fact, he's almost to numbers when Smith uses the crown of his helmet to deliver a hit to the side of Bell's helmet. In addition to Smith, it also looks as though Ravens linebacker Courtney Upshaw also hits Bell with the crown of his helmet.

The play happened on second down, so a penalty would have put the ball at about three inches away from the goal-line. However, it would of given the Steelers a new set of downs to work with. It's hard to speculate how things would have transpired from that point on, but it is possible that the touchdown play to wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery could have been used as the two-point play had the Steelers had a couple of cracks at running the ball in with Jonathan Dwyer, who replaced the concussed Bell.
At the very least, Smith should be fined for his hit and quite possibly Upshaw as well. If they're not, I hope Dean Blandino, the NFL's vice president of officiating, has a good explanation as to why they weren't. It just goes to show how confusing this new rule is and why the officials are apparently afraid to penalize for it.

the draft picks would be a bit excessive for what coach T did

I've seen too many of those stories making the same claim. However true they may be, it's a shitty truth to the game that not all things go in accordance to their regulations. It's quite pathetic if you ask me.

Howdy, Misk.
Good choice of hats, by the way. I have one of those...stole it from a Russian by the name of Yevgeny Petrovich Whattayerkov. I wonder if he's missed it yet?

Yeah, I'm holding off on the hat. but, I can see one in my future.
My take on the $100,000. For that kind of money, Tomlin should have done it on the ratbird 30 instead of the Steelers 30.

If it would have happened on the Ratbird 30 then it probably wouldn't have looked as obvious because it would have happened so fast! And thusly wouldn't have gained so much attention by the league/media.

So he tells me what happened today.
He's having a big party for Christmas this weekend and wanted a keg.
Asks me where I get mine and I tell him what I pay, and that I'll call the owner and have one ready for him.
They told me it was in today, so my neighbor goes to pay them for it, and plans to pick it up Saturday.
Paying up front so they don't sell it to someone else.
The dipshit at the Liqour store tells him he needs to pay $14 extra if he wants to pay with his ATM / credit card.
He tells them that's illegal and why is it more than I pay. And yes, I use a card every time.
She gets pissy with him, and he walks out with nothing.....
Now I am pissed too, and think I'll take my business elsewhere..
