Tomlin: Brown ‘foolish’ to livestream postgame locker room

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin watches from the sideline during the second half of an NFL divisional playoff football game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

PITTSBURGH >> Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin regrets the language he used to describe the New England Patriots but is equally upset with wide receiver Antonio Brown’s for livestreaming Tomlin’s postgame speech on social media .

Tomlin called Brown’s decision to stream more than 15 minutes of Pittsburgh’s giddy locker room after a playoff victory over Kansas City “foolish” and “selfish.”

The coach added the All-Pro wide receiver will be punished “swiftly” but added Brown will be available for Sunday’s AFC championship game against the Patriots.

Brown’s video was viewed more than 900,000 times before being taken down. In it, Tomlin can be heard using several expletives, including one directed at New England because the Patriots will have an extra day of preparation by virtue of beating Houston on Saturday, a full 24 hours before Pittsburgh ousted the Chiefs.

    Privacy doesn’t exist anymore. Society has changed.

    Like Trump tapes. Can’t hide from it if it’s the truth, and nothing to fear if it’s false.

  3. Marauders_1959 says:

    Because of Tomlim’s expletives-laced “speech” about the Pats, I hope New England beats them.
    I believe the Pats will have an extra incentive to beat the Steelers.

    This definitely wouldn’t have happened in the Patriots locker room. If it did the player responsible would likely be cut or put on the inactive roster. Bill Belichick doesn’t mess around.
