Last night the TV showed Ben Roethlisberger using a cell phone while also having a 2 way headset on. This is a big Fing deal or at least it should be. Some history, in 2011 Troy Polamalu was fined $10K for use of a phone on the sidelines while not wearing a head set and Browns GM was suspended for 4 games a couple months ago for sending a text during a game.
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7...alu-fined-10k-making-sideline-cell-phone-call "Possession of cell phones in the bench area during a game is prohibited beginning 90 minutes before kickoff through the end of the game."
"Cleveland Browns general manager Ray Farmer has been suspended without pay for the first four games of next season for sending texts to personnel during games in 2014 and the team was fined $250,000, the NFL announced Monday. " http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/12586605/cleveland-browns-general-manager-ray-farmer-suspended
Now the NFL needs to investigate this and this requires that they get Ben's phone as that is key to the infraction. All this while Tomlin has complained about headsets and communications.
Update. Steelers claim is black plastic wristband but looks nothing like and has silver buttons
