    Actually, I have no idea what you're trying to get at. Somebody mentions the Popcorn nickname for Tomlin, and you fire off that he had a better winning percentage than Cowher. I point out that isn't entirely correct, which gets you more bent. But what Tomlin's regular season record vs. Cowher's has to do with Popcorn, I don't know. Do you not think fans had nicknames for Cowher?

    Somebody talks about sunglasses. You get upset again. You post another coach wearing sunglasses even though you tell everybody you've got better things to be concerned about and don't care what they think about shades. And how is correcting you on some winning percentage technicalities make me a Cowher fanboy?

    What I did say was I having fun with your over-reacting, and you continue to do it by flailing around trying to cover it up. Relax. Like anybody really cares about Tomlin wearing sunglasses.

    I vote Mike "No Whammies" Tomlin. That is what it feels like anytime he has to make some kind of serious in-game decision, you hope it doesn't blow up in the Steelers face.

    'Bags' Tomlin is a good one.

    The Steelers are coming off of a win and are in first place but the HC wears shades sometimes on the sidelines, never change Steelers fans :facepalm:.

    Something along the lines of spittle Im sure. When talking to Cowher you needed more than sun glasses, you needed a face shield.

    Dummy is in the poll, and I think you can find a few others if you look through the thread.

    I remember a lot of accusations about 'Martyball', continuing to hold on to Kordell, and mocking his catchphrase in pressers of saying "we need to keep it in perspective."

    Fans can be...demanding.

    With :
    1 Super bowl win
    8 playoff wins
    11 losses
    And currently on a 6 game playoff losing streak
    Hooray for never having a losing season
    I would be fired from my job with a resume like that over a 18 yr period
    But this is today’s standard

    Expectations are much higher in Baltimore, his management has given Harbaugh a top 3 team as far as talent goes and he hasn't done jack squat with it. Any thing less than a Superbowl appearance is a failure of a season for the Ravens.

    I don't remember, did we ever have a Qb that has won MVPs before??? The Ravens have won 3 playoff games with a 2 time winning MVP. Think about that. I know it's hard to do. LoL

    We make some great trades to get quality players on the cheap, but have terrible luck in the draft. Last week against the Vikings he took the ball out of the hands of one of the most accurate passers in NFL history and ran the ball on 4th and goal from the 4. He is playing Moneyball, but sometimes purposely chooses the near impossible to win. Definitely not the disciplined Packers of the 1960s.

    It's been discussed how the Steelers could have drafted Jackson if they wanted. Despite being a hell of an athlete, I was never huge on him.

    Not saying I would've been throwing things if they did, he just wasn't on my radar as a fit.
