Mike Tomlin is almost loyal to a fault.

Not sure if they have other mutual connections, but I guess they got to know each other when Canada was at Pitt in 2016

Saints could use him … the Grupe kid seems the part, although he missed the GW Sunday…. But the new Aussie punter? That guy has kicked multiple duds and has left zero impression …. He stinks.
Wing would be an upgrade.

Not sure what the criticism is here.


I take it you're new to society. Welcome. We have a lot of unwritten rules. One of which is visible tattoos (especially on the face) are considered taboo (this means not encouraged) by many and often leads to others treating you with distrust or skepticism

^ This. Man, he had it all when he got to the NFL after LSU, and was just too immature to handle it. Partied himself right out of the league.

He’s grown up a lot the past few years.
Loves his son, loves LSU. Wish him the best…

Really proud of him. I know he's struggled at times. So talented. Glad he is doing better

He’s definitely the reason lsu won the 9-6 game in Tuscaloosa.


True, but he also cost LSU the game against Bama the following year by calling that fake field goal near the end that ended up getting stuffed.

I still love him though.

Wing will be the starter in no time. Steelers shankapotamous punter Harvin’s career has been a disaster. Nothing but one big roller coaster ride. There’s a reason they brought him in. He needs to seize this opportunity immediately while the iron is hot.

Not sure but I do know that an ear ring in the right ear, means you smoke pot and one in the left, means you’re gay.

Edit - was corrected and what I wrote above is backwards - it’s the other way around.

Yes. Matt Canada offered Mike Tomlin’s below average son a scholarship as a WR (who transferred after Tomlin hired Canada as he couldn’t get playing time) when Canada had the interim coach tag during Maryland’s mess. Tomlin is loyal to a damn fault. Canada has been atrocious and super predictable. NFL defenses have mockingly said they know the call before they run it. He’s in his third dreadful year and the offense under him has not cracked 400 yards in any game since. Horrendous.

Thank You.
I posted this last November about his journey of sobriety and return to football.
I couldn't be prouder of Brad and I know thousands of Tiger Fans are with me in wishing him all the best.
