Are you kidding me? Gruden let players use cell phones at halftime? I thought it was bad when I read Tomsula gave players cell phone breaks in the middle of meetings when HC of the 49ers. Bad enough, but in the middle of a game?

To be honest, I think we are nitpicking on little things now. What if it was a family emergency? The article specifically pointed out the fact that the brothers never called each other during the games so naturally Vernon called back to see what's up.
