Bill Cowher Recalls Dick LeBeau Reading ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas To The Team

After taking a long winter’s nap from eating your bodyweight in cookies, there are few things better than a Christmas Day football game.

Bill Cowher, the former head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, was on CBS Mornings and talked with Nate Burleson and Gayle King about how the team handled Christmas Day games when he was in charge. “We’re in Appleton, Wisconsin, getting ready to play the Green Bay Packers and we were the only ones in the hotel,” Cowher told Burleson and King.
