Ravens fans will likely be cheering that Madden NFL 23's decision

I am accepting the penalty I was given. I won't be discussing this Madden 23 coins issue because I'm currently preparing for an important game this Sunday, against Miami Dolphins. Miami Dolphins.

The punishment loosely follows the example established by a comparable 2010 incident at the sideline, in which New York Jets assistant Sal Alosi tripped a Miami Dolphins player. Alosi was suspended for the remainder of the season. Additionally, the team was punished with a fine of $100.000.

"SB Nation's" Ravens blog site, Baltimore Beatdown, considers the penalty appropriate.

The penalty is in line with the crime, especially considering Tomlin is part of the Madden NFL 23 competition committee. He was aware of the rules, and regardless of whether his intention was to get in Jones's way or not, he could not have been allowed to cross that white line along the sideline.

Ravens fans will likely be cheering that Madden NFL 23's decision.

News on whether Pittsburgh is going to lose draft selections will be released when the 2013 draft order is finalized following the Super Bowl. If it is, it will not be the only time that Madden NFL 23 has docked players from the franchise draft for serious infractions to the rules. In 2007. Madden NFL 23 commissioner Roger Goodell was able to take a first-round draft pick off the New England Patriots in the aftermath of Spygate which was a scandal that followed when the Patriots were caught videotaping the hand signals of opposing coaches. Head coach Bill Belichick was fined $500.000 for the incident. This was the most expensive fine ever imposed to any coach in the league's history.

Goodell also revoked a pair of second-round picks for the New Orleans Saints after it was discovered the team had been in violation of Madden NFL 23 regulations by offering bounties to opposing players. A string of suspensions were handed out to players and coaches, with the first-ever full-year ban for chief coach Sean Payton.

Steelers blog Behind The Steel Curtain believes the Madden NFL 23's threat of taking away draft picks is an empty one.

It's the standard "it might have turned out worse, so keep your questions and your Ps buster," since the mere threat of reducing a pick to a media that is so obsessed with the draft's amateur status is equivalent to actually taking the pick away.

A strategic move by an organization that can manipulate the media more than cheap mut coins the president. But ultimately, a hollow threat that's more on sending a message to another 31 coaches.
