Mike Tomlin didn’t want Hard Knocks in his building. And he certainly didn’t want them on his clothing. Today, he had no choice. Tomlin was mic’d up for today’s thrilling game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, a 44-38 Steelers win.
Walking out of the tunnels, OT Broderick Jones noticed Tomlin had a mic on. And Tomlin wasn’t happy about it. As captured by ESPN’s Brooke Pryor, here’s how the exchange went.
“Aw man, you’re mic’d up?
“Shut up. Shut yo ass up, let’s go.”
Mike Tomlin was mic’d up during the game for Hard Knocks, but he absolutely didn’t want it on for his postgame locker room speech.
