Head coach Mike Tomlin can have a jovial and joking personality. He rarely displays this, however, when he is in front of the cameras taking questions from members of the media—and it doesn’t matter if that’s members of the Pittsburgh Steelers beat team or if it’s the local media from their upcoming opponents, as the Cleveland Browns’ press found out yesterday.
Truth be told, of course, they already know that, because they’ve been seeing him twice a year for approaching a decade and a half at this point. But this chill and abruptness of some of his answers is still something that I find striking.
