It's OK, ESPN is on it.

NFL security is investigating Pittsburgh Steelers tight ends coach James Daniel for allegedly assaulting and verbally accosting a New England Patriots fan on the way to the locker room before halftime, according to league sources.

A league official confirmed the NFL is aware of the incident and is looking into it. A Steelers spokesman said NFL security has informed them about the incident and the team is also investigating.

The incident in question occurred before and after halftime. Daniel, who was on his way to the Steelers' locker room, was seen allegedly kicking a Patriots fan in the back of his leg and yelling at the fan in front of witnesses.

By the time Daniel returned to the coaching booth after halftime, police and NFL security were waiting for him. Once the coach was identified by witnesses, and police approached him about controlling his behavior, Daniel began shouting at the police officer, according to witnesses.

NFL security, which did not witness the exchange with police, afterward interviewed Daniel about the entire incident, according to sources.

If this was a Patriot coach it would be a 6 game suspension and the team would lose draft picks and be fined.

Steelers coach, maybe a written warning.

What a classic coaching staff.

Don't worry NFL* Security is all over this....

Assault, ashmault. We don't care if he killed that fan. What we really need to know is whether he was deflating any footballs. If he was, we'll penalize the Patriots for letting it happen.

Damn Patriots fan trying to assault a "shod foot" with the back of their leg.

For starters to insure the safety of opposing teams they should play in an empty stadium.

Damn Patriots fan trying to assault a "shod foot" with the back of their leg.

Shod foot? Are you a farrier?

 

[manxman2601]

There have been two NFL coaches that have been suspended immediately following assaults this season, the Buffalo guy with the kids on the beach and the Cleveland guy earlier this week. Wonder if it will happen this time.

 

[NashuaPats]

If this guy gets suspended after the Steelerss whined and axcused the Pats of cheating, I will laugh hysterically. Losers.

It was a evil plan by Belichick and Brady to deflect attention away from the headset issue.

I can see the defence already;

"Your honour, it was the voices in my head that told me to do it."

 

[KDPPatsfan85]

If I was the fan that was kicked by that coach, that coach's leg would have been broken!!

 

[karguy85]

The ghosts of Gillette stadium possessed Daniel and caused him to kick the Patriots fan (at Belichick's direction). Belichick banned for life. No more first round picks ever.
