Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Tomlinism Tournament Semifinals Match 2


Remember, both Semifinals are being posted back-to-back, so vote for both!...The #6-Seed beat the #4-Seed by a wide 2-1 margin and now must bump up a seed to meet #3-Seed, who bettered the #8-Seed, although it didn't cover, winning by only a 54-45 spread...

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)
511 votes
#3-Seed: "It is not hunger that drives me. Hunger and thirst can be quenched. We have to be a driven group. We have to seek greatness." (in a reflective moment after the Super Bowl when asked how to keep the hunger of winning)

The 6-seed is one of the funniest quotes from a press conference, ever.

The 3-seed is going to help the steelers win another superbowl.

Not a hard vote for me.

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

come on #3!

While 6 is a great quip, #3 shows a new perspective on the whole season.

I also voted for #3 for its long-range attitude

But #12 (big windshield, small rear-view mirror) is better than either of these. Doesn’t matter anyhow, because #2 (five Lombardi Trophies, not five rushing titles) looks destined to win it all, deservedly so.

The 6-seed supporters are clearly bandwagon fans with no justification to be cheering for their team.

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

That or their bracket is already busted so they’re just routing for upsets.

It is amazing how predictive the first few hundred votes are. After that the overall results don’t change despite the vote count tripling. It almost gives you more faith in predictive polling given the large geographic distribution of steelers fans but with a concentrated core.

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

I might go further

and say the first 50 votes reflect amazingly the same as 1000 votes. I have been following it closely.
