A New Tomlinism


Hey folks, caught a new Tomlinism on the Steelers website today (Steelers.com).

Coach was asked if he had any conversation with cornerback Willie Gay in the wake of his catching the short end of the collision with Adrian Peterson two weeks ago. The questioner was concerned that given the amount of attention the play received in the national media that there might be some impact on Gay's psyche. Tomlin acknowledged that given the nature of the business that they try to counsel in advance that:

"From time to time gunfighters get shot."

I love this guy.

A few months back Maryrose did an excellent piece on Tomlinisms. Has anyone been tracking the more recent statements?
