Happy Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I vaguely remember this, though recall it was a helmet to helmet hit of some degree. It occurred going on 10 years ago so I doubt the NFL will do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Payton is certainly accurate on that.....the Steelers and Tomlin are untouchable from a discipline standpoint.....but that doesn't mean he deserves one iota of sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) I think Tomlin is an A-hole. Edited May 15, 2020 by 32ABBA 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Digg? Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 If there's truth to this, there has to (or I guess should) be punishment for it. The league has shown they don't mind going back several years to make their point, and they CERTAINLY don't mind being judge, jury, executioner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Doug Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 "Listen, on everything I love, on my daddy's grave, I hit that man with about 50 percent of what I had, and I just hit him because I wanted him to let loose of the ball," Harrison said on the podcast. "If I had knew they was gonna fine me $75,000, I would have tried to kill him." That’s some quote there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomlin was fined $100k for trying to trip Jacoby Jones during the Thanksgiving night game several years back. He probably should have been suspended, as well, but wasn't. I don't think an unsportsmanlike penalty was even called on him during the game like it should have been. He did get off easy, much like the Patriots do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude literally walked onto the field during the play to prevent the other team from scoring. That’s worse than anything NE has ever done. Far worse than the block thrown on the sidelines by that meathead for the Jets on the punt gunner. NFL and the media swept it under the rug as quickly as possible. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hey, Sean Payton ... go ***** yourself. Sorry you and Gregggggggggggggggggggg were stupid enough to be caught. All you do is whine. Be a better and smarter coach, dickface. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Honestly I doubt this is an isolated situation. I suspect owners/coaches find a way to compensate players who get fined, if they are OK with what they did/want to encourage it more. I also suspect Kraft has found a way to compensate Brady over the years for taking "team friendly" deals. But I have no evidence of it. But with that said, all Harrison said was, he got an envelope. We can infer it was full of cash, but he never said it was cash (at least from the quotes I have read). To admit it was cash would be stupid, no? Did he declare it on his taxes or write off the fine? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I wouldn’t doubt it to be true, but why would we listen to someone as erratic as Harrison whose relationship ended very badly? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Maybe the envelope held an invitation to a birthday party. Did anyone think of that? Envelopes don't always hold bounty money... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
