Tomlin cusses at fan @ halftime VS Falcons

Who here gets to do that at their job without consequences??

My kids youth sports coach did that recently and he almost got canned from his volunteer position...Tomlin gets paid a bit more....

Uncalled for and warrants an apology at the least

Yep....an apology for the F'n snowflakes out there. I mean. Feelings were probably hurt.
 
I don't know. The guy had a thumbs up and was offering encouragement to bring home the win. To bark out like that was uncalled for. He may be tired of hearing about the 2nd half collapses, which almost happened again, so that falls on his shoulders. If he is angry about it, maybe he should hit himself for the terrible 2nd half play and fix the damn thing once and for all. The dude reacted with just a surprised face. I would have barked back, "Then win the damn game without screwing up the 2nd half!" or something to that effect.
 
I'm soooo disappointed in Tomlin.....









He lacked his normal verbal creativity in his response.

"Man, I'm taking the approach of benefiting from the stoppage in play and things of that sort in order to analyze an above-the-neck approach to bring about a more adequate manner in which to skin this cat and benefit from a win - which has been a tough nut to crack so far - for this team. I'd appreciate your allowing myself to return to my endeavors before it gets too hot in this kitchen."

I'm gonna say this another way. First he shouldn't be there. How the **** is he there anyhow. VIP pass? However just say go get em coach. Or something like that. He kinda implied that they weren't playing to win and Tomlin got bitchy. Nothing to see here. And I'm about as tough on Tomlin as it gets. What I will not do is attack his character. I think he is a pretty solid dude.

What most don’t know is, the guy is a social media content creator in ATL, covers all the ATL teams for Hispanic and South American media (Mainly Atlanta United soccer). Even if he was a Steeler fan (doubt it), as a media member in a restricted area withOUT access to an interview he is not supposed to interact with coaches, players or assistants.….period. The fact he did interact, AND posted it to Twitter probably got his media pass revoked at the Benz for Falcon games.

You don’t think coaches and players know in restricted areas no one is supposed to interact with them except team officials, stadium security/law enforcement or medical professionals? Folks need to think smarter.

Very good insightful post Ike

So basically, the guy was trying to "bait" Coach Tomlin...................... it worked to a degree.


Salute the nation

If this is the case if he was trying to goad for monetary purposes then **** him and good for Tomlin.

An apology from a guy with a huge ego who thinks he's untouchable and above criticism, I'm not losing sleep on anyone being offended, Tomlin should be held to a standard above that

Ahhh then what Tomlin did was warranted if not mild compared to what others might have done in a similar situation.
 
Hay Slash, I wish shades would show that much emotion and passion on the sidelines rather than the thousand foot stare we see so often.

Wtf. Was dude's feelings hurt or something? Should we donate to his gofundme page? Why is this even a thing. Or thread.

Exactly. There are far more worse statements we can zero in on that have been said. It's not like he said, "go grab 'em in the *****"...

Move along...
 
I have to imagine if Ben would have the said the same thing to a fan... I have to think people's reaction would be a lot different. He would be framed as a terrible person.

But Tomlin can do very little wrong in many's eyes, especially the media. So yeah, it's no big deal for Tomlin.

If you notice the clip, the thumbs up is a center frame reference. He is a content creator for the Latin America/Mexican community. So it was definitely for his benefit, I think that’s why Pat McAfee gave kudos to Tomlin, because he knew it was social media post op in a restricted area and the response was a notice to the guy, you are not fooling anybody. Still, coach probably should have laid off on the f bomb.

Then again, I’ve heard Bill Parcell swear ten times worse, on mic, during games. Chin cussed a lot early in his tenure, that is until the network cameras started showing coaches reactions on the sidelines to various calls on live TV. After that, his wife Kaye “encouraged” him to tone down his profanity because he had his three daughters to think about in the public fallout.

This makes a lot of sense. Betting That bill cowher did it too.. is retarded.
Hadn't thought about being in a restricted area.
 
Ike and Bermudasteel I'm with both of you.

My goodness some of these social media creators, if they could, would have cameras in the toilet stalls and post the "results"

Non issue. I'm with Tomlin on this one
