Tomlin post game..

Elfiero said:
Oh and by the way in your statement here you contradict yourself.

First the idea that he cursed or tried to relate to his players on a "lower level".....well Elfie is just reading too much into it.

In the next paragraph(because it benefits your position) going to the AFCCG is now "evidence" that his approach is working.............

Can't have it both ways, sorry.

Going to the AFCCG game could be the result of many things, not just his aporoach to the players.

Again: Barry Switzer has a SB ring.

I think George Seifert has a couple.

Actually, the idea that he was trying to reach a lower level was yours. Do you type so much **** that you don't remember it all?

Have a good day elfie ... you're wearing your disdain of Tomlin like a badge of honor when in this instance it just makes you seem foolish. But, "that's none of my business".
 
I could give two ***** what MT said, especially thinking he was in a "inner sanctum" in the locker room. My problem is AB doing the live stream. It was stupid and childish. They've been told to lay off the social media and he chose to defy coach.

He snaps more than my 18 yo daughter.

TOM BRADY REACTS TO STEELERS’ FACEBOOK LIVE VIDEO: ‘I DON’T THINK THAT WOULD GO OVER WELL WITH OUR COACH’

In the video, coach Mike Tomlin is caught saying the Patriots had a headstart on the Patriots due to their Saturday game and called them a-holes.

Monday morning, Brady was asked about the video, which he did not see, but was told what Brown said.

“That’s against our team policy, so I don’t think that would go over well with our coach,” Brady said.

Added Brady: “Every coach has a different style. Our coach, he’s been in the league for 42 years and he’s pretty old school. He’s not into social media and I think he lets everyone know that. I think our team has a policy, we don’t show anything that should be private because he feels when we are inside our stadium, inside the walls, there has to be a degree of privacy that we have. What’s done in the locker room should stay in the locker room.”

But it's perfectly ok for us to spy on others, and purposefully invading their privacy for our own benefit. Against the rules? We're the Patriots, those don't exist here, we're above those
 
What does Ben need to do?

Off the field, just what he did. Let the team know they're heading to "cheater-town" and to keep a low profile. On the field, I would hope he is given a game plan that doesn't over-rely on Bell. For too long now Haley has been far too enamored of Bell at the expense of Brown and the other viable weapons on the offense. In my opinion that has lead to the passing game getting stale and you can't just "turn that on" like a switch when things start going south. I would suggest far better balance is needed to win this game. That's just my opinion, of course.

As for "cheatin' Tom"...

I think our team has a policy, we don’t show anything that should be private because he feels when we are inside our stadium, inside the walls, there has to be a degree of privacy that we have. What’s done in the locker room should stay in the locker room.

Well then why the **** does your team regularly send lackeys in to steal the scripted plays from the visiting teams locker rooms?

Tom, You're so full of **** you could make a fortune opening a fertilizer plant.

You're so full of **** William Golding meant YOU when he wrote Lord of the Flies.

You're so full of **** Spielberg called you in when he was filming the triceratops **** pile scene in Jurassic Park to dump a load in order to save special effects money.

You're so full of ****, when Giselle serves you canned corn you **** corn on the cob.

You're so full of **** Mr. Peanut won't go within 200 miles of Boston for fear for he and his family's life.

You're so full of **** some of the Standing Rock Protest Water Canons had to be re-routed to Boston for your annual enema.

You're so full of **** when Bellichic says "Jump" - you can't because you're ******* full of ****.

You're so full of **** people think that when you get hit in a game you're looking for a penalty flag when really you just want "cleanup on aisle 1."

Well, in essence Brady is saying that they also say things in the locker room about another team that they would not want for public consumption. Therefore, nothing to see here.

I don't think any of us have a problem with what Tomlin said, but I always thought what was said in the locker room stayed in the locker room. I guess it could be worse. At least he wasn't live during half time adjustments, but I guess there is still time for that.

I thought it was great to see (hear) a different, non-scripted side of Tomlin..no cliches, no bullshit, just true emotion.

That being said, it has to be disturbing for MT to see how Brown was acting while the coach, and Ben, were addressing the team. Shouldn't he at least be paying attention? He's goofing around like a little self-absorbed teenage girl hoping to add Facebook likes. Ridiculous. AB should be up front with Tomlin and Ben as one of the team's leaders, not giggling in the background, posting a live feed of a private locker room moment.

I mean, I get upset when I'm speaking to the team, and some of my 9- and 10-year-old flag football players are fooling around and not listening. How does it make Tomlin feel?
 
str8liner said:
That works thanks.

AB is dumb for doing that. I really dont think what Tomlin said is as big of a deal as AB doing it is. Standing in the other room acting all sneaky, yucking it up with the selfies doesn't set well with me. He knew it was questionable at the very least, and yet he still does it.

you're welcome

AB wants $15+ million a year? knock off $2M per just for this incident. Very unprofessional.

If you don't understand the way a 50 year old white man would communicate thirty plus years ago, is different than how a black man in this day and age would do the same it's really on you to figure it out. Give me a break already.

Well i guess we better get to firing all the white coaches then.

How will they ever relate to their players and win anything?

Hahaha... that's great and so damn true. Time to shut Brady the **** up on Sunday.

Haha, very true, I have no problem at all with what Tomlin said, but Brown is a douche for that, he was acting like some 7th grader in sex ed class sitting in the back of the class giggling the entire time.

LOL, I give up with your dense ***.
 
After watching the video, I might cut AB a little slack. It doesn't look like he purposely broadcast his coach's locker room speech. It seems to be nothing more than the result of possessing such an intense, laser like focus upon himself that he could never be expected to have an awareness of anything that might be happening around him.
 
I don't see a problem with calling your opponents ******** or other clever adjectives. Do you want to play Pattycake with them or beat their ***** up and down the field? They are the enemy. Act like it! They should hate every team that is not B&G. We can show respect towards them as we are traveling to Houston for media day.

There may be a few exceptions, but I don't believe anyone has a problem whatsoever with what came out of Mike Tomlin's mouth. The issue is that I'm sure it was not intended for public consumption, which is where our diva wide receiver enters stage right.
 
Joke going around Boston now:

"The Steelers are so stupid they spy on themselves"

Exactly my point.
 
It's been done before, remember the "we Dey " locker room rant by 'the chin' ?



That being said, I have always believed that AB is a full grown man with a 13 year old mind. Nobody with any maturity past JR High acts like an idiot that consistently. Thank the stars that he's a very talented numbskull, cause earning a living without his physical talent would be challenging indeed.

One key difference, at least in terms of this particular situation, is that video came out after the opponent had been vanquished.

It took six pages for someone to post the crux of the matter. For all the people saying, "oh it's no big deal, Tomlin didn't really say anything inflammatory, that is not the issue. THIS is the problem!

AB's behavior shows a complete and utter disregard for his teammates, and especially his coach. As one of the veterans on the team (and one of the ones with playoff/SB experience), he should have been one of the ones talking to his teammates. Instead, he is off mugging for the camera, and posting it to social media.

This video is so telling of the state of the team. It does not pint a rosy picture. Who's in charge here?

Felt staged to me... now not only does tge bradshaw comments get minimized but also the media focus of the game is diverted for a minute...
 
The state of the team is that it's playing in the AFC championship. Seems pretty ******* rosy to me.
