I played a little guard in high school, and our offensive line coach affectionately referred to us as the “big uglies.” There was always an extra portion or two in our pre-game meals for the line, so you can imagine how Thanksgiving might look for a bunch of NFL offensive linemen. Head coach Bill Cowher used to have some fun on Thanksgiving at the expense of the Steelers’ offensive line coach at the time, Russ Grimm.
Cowher joined CBS Sports’ That Other Pregame Show this morning and told this as one of his favorite Thanksgiving memories.
