Tomlinism Tournament Quarterfinals Match 3


This one is a classic barn-burner, #6 Seed at #4 Seed.  You can still vote for Match 1 and Match 2 of the Quarterfinals.

Poll
Which of these two Tomlinisms do you like more?
#6-Seed: "I don't care how my players evaluate me. I evaluate them. How's your editor?" (bristled after a reporter asked him about how the players evaluated their coach)
567 votes
#4-Seed: "We don't subscribe to that hocus pocus. We only have to beat Baltimore once." (when questioned about how hard it might be to beat a team three times prior to the AFC Championship Game)

Jesus christ. I had to vote against the hocus pocus quote? This is a tough conference.

Don't worry about the haters. Haters only hate.

Nah, I foolishly went all-in on seed #1.

Don't worry about the haters. Haters only hate.

It’s hard to vote against Baltimore but I had to do it like the Steelers did 3 times.

I like the “how’s your editor” quote a lot but the hocus-pocus one has been my favorite.

FWIW – it’s actually “I personally don’t subscribe to that hocus-pocus” – http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/steelers/s_606878.html

Tomlin uses the term “hocus pocus” all the time.

“They did a nice job of executing and we didn’t. There’s no hocus pocus or secret formula for getting the ball in the end zone.”

But you’re right about that particular quote.

Don't worry about the haters. Haters only hate.
