Re: Anyone else find it funny

So far he's been able to accomplish about as much as Jon Gruden. Taking over someone else's team and getting them to the SuperBowl.

What's next?

Color commentator in the MNF booth?

Child's Play Part 5 staring Omar Epps?

Re: Anyone else find it funny

Hey look, it's all about perception. And, wow, oddly enough, the season's success weighs heavily on that perception. His cute little sayings are, well, cute when we're winning. But, they lack substance when we're losing. Go figure. I suppose I'm just a troll. oink, oink

I don't think you are a troll. Trolls don't oink.

Am I a troll minus the oink then?

C'mon, now...we all know that you are a bulldog puppy (who oinks for some reason). :P

Re: Anyone else find it funny

Gotta back up what you say. If we're winning, he's backing it up. If we're losing the words are empty.

It's not like Tomlin's this rock that's been here outperforming for years. He's not Noll. He's not even Cowher.

The jury is still out on Tomlin. Is he the real deal or not? And that seems like a fair question to me.

He says the same things to the media win or lose. That's what cool under fire coaches do.

Tomlin has made the playoffs two out of 3 seasons, and won a championship. He's done it with rosters that were different than what Cowher had.

He's a fine coach and the Steelers are fortunate to have him.

Re: Anyone else find it funny

Nothing wrong with calling out Tomlin in a losing season(for right now at 6-7)... especially for the unleashing hell before 2 losses to 2 very bad teams.

However the talk of HC coaching changes and Cowhers players is foolish... dude won a SB and made the playoffs 2 out of 3 years. I'm almost lead to believe those who want Tomlin fired never wanted him to begin with or are not "real fans" because that type of move would be a disaster for the team.

Tomlin should have benched players like he said he would though.... nothing worse then a HC who doesn't back his threats.

I don't recall reading anything where he actually said he was going to bench any starters. Do you have a link to anything like that?

Tomlin quickly mentioned his two rookie cornerbacks as most likely to benefit from a change in lineup. Joe Burnett, who dropped an interception that would have staved off Oakland's comeback victory drive with 40 seconds left Sunday, probably will start at left cornerback, whether William Gay (concussion) can play or not.

"It's going to be Joe Burnett," Tomlin said. "Keenan Lewis is going to get an opportunity to play. We want to see both of those guys. They're young guys; they've been working. We want to see both of those guys play."

He said enough to give the impression changes would be made and the current play was unacceptable... I think this kind of Tomlinism is frustrating to some.





He indicated that veteran starting cornerback Ike Taylor might be affected in a shake-up.

And to find out that Keenan Lewis was deactivated after that was disappointing. At least Burnett saw the field more than usual, though.

Re: Anyone else find it funny

You gotta love Mickey Rooney in that role.

My son quotes him like crazy after watching Night at the Museum.

Listen up, Lunch Box!

Do you want the job or not, Snack Shack?

Sweet dreams, Cupcake.

Sleep tight, Hotshot.

Keep a lid on it, Butterscotch.

Do you want to dance, Hot Dog?

Look here, Hopscotch!

Although my daughter prefers quoting the Easter Island Head.

Me no dum-dum. You dum-dum. You bring me gum-gum?

Oh, you in trouble, Dum-dum. You'd better run-run. From Attila the Hun-hun.

This weekend, I bought them Night at the Museum 2 for Christmas. My wife took them to see it in the theaters when it was out, but I have not seen it yet. Is Mickey Rooney in the second one as well?

Not very definitive.

Wolfie - Funny! I didn't care for that movie at all, but he was great in it.

He cracks me up throughout the movie. Too funny. I hate to spoil it for you, but he is not in the second movie. However, I think it is pretty good though.

Not very definitive is the perfect description for this thread. Moderator please close this thread because the riddle has been solved. Tomlin was not very definitive after a 4 game slide and left enough wiggle room to finess a 5th loss with the stellar CB play.

It actually is kinda funny...
