NFL: Greg Schiano Did No WrongSeptember 18th, 2012
So who is Giants headmaster Tom Coughlin going to yell at now?
The talk of the NFL yesterday was how Coughlin dressed down Bucs coach Greg Schiano for what Coughlin thought was a dirty play when Schiano ordered the Bucs to try to dislodge the ball from Eli Manning during a kneeldown on the final play in the sickening Bucs collapse of a loss to the Super Bowl champs Sunday.
Well, the suits at the NFL headquarters on Park Avenue looked at the evidence and, in a manner of speaking, backed up Schiano and stated Coughlin was out of line, so reports Mike Garafolo of USA Today.
@MikeGarafolo: If anyone was wondering, the NFL will have nothing further on the final play of NYG-TB. No violations on the play or afterward, they say.
This is just nonsense how much run this play has gotten. If it was, say, Pete Carroll in Seattle, it would barely create a ripple. But since it happened in the media capital of the western hemisphere… controversy!
