Get Ready

I wonder how big of a fine or possible suspension that Bill Belichick will receive after grabbing the official running off the field at the end of the game. If the NFL wants to send a message on leaving the replacements alone, this would be their chance.

It should be significant. Collinsworth and Al Michaels could not believe he did that.

I really wish the NFL would get this whole thing worked out. I know it's not the fault of the replacements, but these guys aren't anywhere close to being as good as the regular NFL officials. Holding and pass interference are a crapshoot in the first three weeks of the season.

It will be a fine, not a suspension. I think $50,000 is very likely.

Peace

Fine at most...be very surprised if there was a suspension

Bounce him

They have to suspend him. Coaches don't touch officials. Ever.

With Brady's diminishing skills (where has that phrase been heard before) he's not the football god he once was.

A coach putting his hands on an official, even these scabs, is intolerable and must be punished by suspension, money doesn't mean anything.
