Popcorn is a great complement when you’re watching movies. Apparently, however, it’s like gravy on popcorn when you pair it with football. There’s just about nothing that Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin hates more than popcorn in football, except perhaps questions about things that are related to social media.
And unfortunately for the 12th-year commander, his team is drowning in popcorn right now. In case you need a refresher as to what the analogy is meant to represent—one that he has been using for at least a couple of seasons now—it’s a means of describing the fact that the problem with the team, or a game, is a number of small issues rather than one large one.
