With a half day of work today, I was happy to catch Tomlin's press conference on the way home. Instead, though, when I turned on the radio (both ESPN and FOX) -- all I heard was a weird Christmas skit with Coach Mike's nervous laughter in the background.

It was so weird and uncomfortable to listen to that I popped in a CD and kept checking back until it was over. Apparently, Tomlin felt the same way.

If you read the story and didn't hear the press conference, Tomlin might come off as a party pooper. But, believe me, he was a good sport. Bill DiFabio was rambling on and on like he was star of the Bob Saget roast, but he sounded more like the drunk uncle giving an uninspired wedding toast than Gilbert Gottfried.

Apparently, this is a Pittsburgh media tradition that will come to an end.

Maybe the Fedko Zone can go with it.
