Santa Claus Visits Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin At Press Conference!
sourced by Jon Azpiri
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin got a visit from Santa during yesterday's press conference and he wasn't too thrilled about it.
For years, local radio personality Bill DiFabio crashes a Steelers press conference dressed as Santa Claus. Former head coach Bill Cowher used to humor DiFabio , but Tomlin wasn't having it.
DiFabio made several jokes about the Steelers season, including references to nose tackle Casey Hampton's weight and the fact that the team's recent loss to the Tennessee Titans.
The routine had a rather awkward ending.
To end the skit, Tomlin grudgingly agreed to toss a football to the fake Santa. "If that will get you out of here," he said.
