Steelers' T.J. Watt Says He's Never Seen Mike Tomlin Give Player an Envelope

Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison made waves last week when he accused head coach Mike Tomlin of giving him an envelope after the All-Pro was fined $75,000 for an illegal hit on then-Cleveland Browns wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi in 2010.

"Dude, I'm telling you, 75?" Harrison told Willie Colon on the Going Deep podcast (h/t Ken Carman). "And I ain't gonna lie to you, when that happened, right? The G-est thing Mike Tomlin ever did, he handed me an envelope after that. I ain't gonna say what, but he handed me an envelope after that."
