NFL Closes The Gate On Sidelinegate

The Steelers have announced that the NFL will not penalize the team a draft pick for Mike Tomlin’s sideline step during the Thanksgiving night game against the Ravens. The league fined Mike Tomlin $100,000 for the incident, but originally left the case open. The NFL had said that they were going to leave matters open, and wait until after the final draft order was decided to make a final ruling.

While there seemed to be close to a 0% chance of it happening, it’s ridiculous that the league would wait this long to make a final ruling on the matter. Steeler Nation can now make a collective sigh of relief.
