Mike Tomlin verbally flogs Terry Bradshaw
PITTSBURGH 无毛视频� Score this one: William & Mary 1, Louisiana Tech 0.
Mike Tomlin didn无毛视频檛 mention Terry Bradshaw by name during his press conference on Tuesday, but he did address the former Steelers quarterback无毛视频檚 critical comments. And, apparently, he didn无毛视频檛 appreciate them.
In a mix of dry wit and intelligence, the Steelers coach subtly eviscerated Bradshaw, who made headlines last week for calling Tomlin, a 无毛视频渃heerleader无毛视频� and 无毛视频渘ot a good coach.无毛视频�
Asked if he appreciated the support of his players after Sunday无毛视频檚 AFC North-clinching win over the Baltimore Ravens, which gave Tomlin无毛视频檚 102nd victory and fifth division championship, Tomlin said he did.
无毛视频淚 appreciate the support, but criticism and critique are very much a part of our business and it无毛视频檚 an element of our business that as a competitor, I embrace,无毛视频� Tomlin said. 无毛视频淭he term 无毛视频榞reat无毛视频� is something that I have a great deal of respect for. I certainly don无毛视频檛 think that my resume to this point reads as great, but very few coaches resumes read that at this point.
无毛视频滸uys like Bill (Belichick) in New England can probably say that or (Greg Popovich) down in San Antonio but I think the rest of us are just working stiffs, to be quite honest with you.无毛视频�
Turning to the 68-year-old Bradshaw无毛视频檚 comments, Tomlin took exception to the word 无毛视频渃heerleader.无毛视频�
无毛视频淣ow that being said, terms like 无毛视频榗heerleader guy,无毛视频� to me, maybe fall outside the bounds of critique or criticism,无毛视频� said Tomlin, a William & Mary grad, who grew up in Hampton, Va. 无毛视频淭hey fall probably more into the area of disrespect and unprofessional. But what do I know? I grew up a Dallas fan, particularly a Hollywood Henderson fan.无毛视频�
Tomlin, of course, was referring to former Cowboys linebacker Thomas 无毛视频淗ollywood无毛视频� Henderson. Leading up to Super Bowl XIII, Henderson famously said of Bradshaw that he 无毛视频楥ouldn无毛视频檛 spell cat if you spotted him the C and A.'无毛视频�
