Readers here is a good question for ya. As you may know Steeler head coach Mike Tomlin was fined a whopping $100,000 for walking into the field during a play. Truth be told I have never seen anything like that happen before in a NFL game.

When I first heard the amount of the fine I said damn that is a very huge fine. I wondered if it was fair for Tomlin to get fined such a huge amount of money. But it is what it is. But then I hear about another incident in which a coach walked onto the field during a play but this time the coach got much better treatment than Coach Tomlin.

Special team coach for Miami Darren Rizzi walked onto the field recently and even made contact with a ref but he was fined ONLY $10,000!! Again readers Rizzi made contact with a ref. Tomlin DID NOT!! Rizzi was fined $10,000 and Tomlin got fined $100,000.

So something ain’t right. In my opinion if Tomlin got this huge fine then Rizzi should get the same amount. What is going on? I have seen what Rizzi did. Again he made contact with a ref. Tomlin moved off the field once he realized where he was on the field. So why is Tomlin getting fined $100,000 and Rizzi only $10,000? Is a double standard going on folks? I think so. I am surprised that more is not being said about this. This is not fair.
