Tomlin has a Snitch on this Board

So Pollo Tropical has a wonderful chop bowl for lunch. I think I'll partake of this booty, er, ah, bounty today!!!
 
A couple of days prior to the Tampa Bay game, Tomlin was interviewed on NFL Network. Can't remember who was doing the interview, but the guy basically insinuated that Tomlin was a player's coach because he was close in age, race and music taste to a majority of the NFL players and because he had a cool haircut and wore shades.

Edit: The interview is up on the team site and the interviewer is Arrington. You can find the part where the "player's coach" discussion goes on at around the 4:30 mark. Didn't/doesn't seem like such a big deal, but it obviously struck some kinda nerve with Tomlin.

The strange thing is that it was Lavar Arrington, a former NFL player, who talked about both the haircut and the player's coach issue. But some how Tomlin didn't seem offended then. He doesn't mention race or age in this interview at all. Strange that he would take offense to it in another interview.
 
Like I said, if they were 4-0 he wouldn't give a crap what anybody said.

True. Adversity has that weird knack of helping one to show their true colors. When times are good, criticism is like water on a duck's back, it rolls right off
 
Somebody's tin foil hat is too tight.

Oh, that's me... totally me.
 
Well, you shouldn't be drinking and posting. You've been quite jolly today so I'm thinking you're having a few beers at work or something, LOL

Jolly?!?!?!?! Do I look like Ark?

Not drinking yet - but the Hi-C is a mofo to get out of a white shirt!!! So, I'm sitting at my desk topless now...
 
If you want to compliment Tomlin, you have to call him a player's coach. What else would you call him?

X and O coach - we know that's a joke
Player Evaluator - his drafts have mostly been terrible and the free agent pickups not much better.
Game Manager - he makes terrible game decisions, from challenges to clock management
Disciplinarian - how many penalties?

I'd call him an overrated and overpaid fraud who should have never been given the title of "head coach" to begin with, after only one year as a defensive coordinator with unbalanced results.

Oh wait...that's not a compliment, it's reality.

Well I'm glad it's just coincedence, or is it? I was going to put away my tin foil hat but instead I think I'll reaed up and refresh myself on the subject of synchronicity.
