Steelers' Tomlin Angry At Santa Claus?
23rd December, 2008 - 5:29 pm
ESPN - Steelers' coach Mike Tomlin was reportedly not amused during a visit by Santa Claus to his weekly news conference on Tuesday.

Bill DiFabio, a sports announcer from Pennsylvania, often dresses up as Santa for the pre-Christmas media gathering and often jokes with the Steelers' coach for a few moments, something former coach Bill Cowher often went along with.

After playing along initially, Tomlin was heard sighing numerous times during DiFabio's bit. He finally agreed to toss a football to the fake Santa.

"If that will get you out of here," Tomlin said.

Afterward, the Steelers said there would be no future appearances from Santa at any of their news conferences. [READ]
