Looked pretty blatant. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Maybe he could take lessons from Jason Kidd on how to spill Coke on the field.

I thought maybe he was just a leftover guy from the Obamacare rally at Heinz Field?

When pro coaches start acting like scumbag Pop Warner coaches, its time for a change from the central office.

IIRC, wasn't Tomlin that very vocal Obunghole voter and supporter?

As if I needed another reason to dislike the Steelers.

Suspend him from the game for the rest of this season and the next and forfeit the rest of this season and no draft picks in the next draft.

The penalties have to really hurt him and the organization that hired him.

Tomlin is an Obama financial supporter. 40 grand in 2012. The owner bundled so much dough that Baraq made him ambassador to Ireland.

Rule 13 Non-Player Conduct
http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/rulebook/pdfs/16_2013_Non-Player_Conduct.pdf

Section 1 Non-Player Conduct

RESTRICTED AREAS
Article 4

All team personnel must observe the zone restrictions applicable to the bench area and the border rimming the playing field. The only persons permitted within the solid six-foot white border (1-1) while play is in progress on the field are game officials. For reasons involving the safety of participating players whose actions may carry them out of bounds, officials’ unobstructed coverage of the game, and spectators’ sightlines to the field, the border rules must be observed by all coaches and players in the bench area. Violators are subject to penalty by the officials.

This seems extreme.

It isn’t like he told one of his players to hit him to spill coke on the floor to get an extra timeout or anything...

;)
