So Goedell basically charged the Steelers a little bit of money in the form of a fine for an extra 15 yards to make the game winning kick in the NFL Playoffs. Porter is fined but not penalized which is what actually matters. Oups we did it again sorry. Benefitted the same team again sorry. If you don't penalize a team for cheating they will never stop. They will pay your meaningless fines all day long. Let us buy some yards we got money.
They should lose draft picks for cheating in the playoffs but they are the Steelers.
That is the NFL. That is Goedell. There is no integrity in the NFL. (Thats my opinion and it appears that way to me.)
I was arguing with a Steeler fan earlier. I pointed out how they always seem to get away with bs that leads to favorable outcomes for them.
His response was that the Steelers are the most fined team in the league and that I didn't know what I was talking about. I have no idea if what he said has any truth to it or not.
Point is, who give a rip about fines? Do the players? Tez got rung up for 69 grand and was still dealing on them last night. I doubt they enjoy being fined, but don't think it's much of a big deal, either. Once the game is effected, the deed is done. Did the Pats getting hammered by the league cost them their Lombardi? Did bounty gate cost the Saints their glory year?
Even if they truly get fined that often, it's not effecting them negatively on the field. Tomlin should have been suspended for tripping Jones. Screw a fine. Those coaches should have gotten tossed last night. Screw a fine. If there truly was a bounty on Gilberry as is rumored, then they should get the same draconian penalties as New Orleans did. Nothing will come of it though. Bengal fans will be the only ones talking about this shit in a month.
