"You Know what I heard about Kordell Stewart?"[Players Tribune]

[3Rivers]

I remember the rumor. Damn shame it got started/who was rumored to have started it. Pittsburgh has always had an extreme love/hate relationship with their QB's
I invite the Coli to read the article. Here's a few excerpts

Back then, I’m at the top of the mountain. I’m 26 years old. I’m the quarterback of the greatest franchise in the NFL. I just played against John Elway in the AFC Championship game the previous season. I’m not just “Slash” anymore. I’m not just a gimmick. I’m the quarterback.

We’re 5–3, and everything’s in the right place.

What could go wrong, right?

Alright, timeout. We need to take a step back for a minute. Because I’m telling you this story today as a 48-year-old man who has learned a lot and has grown a lot. I got nothing but love for everybody, no matter what their sexual orientation is. It’s great to see how much the world has evolved in the last 20 years. But when this was all happening? Man, you have to understand, I’m a young Black quarterback in a blue-collar town. Being the target of those kinds of rumors? At that time? In that era? In that NFL?

Come on, man. You know what it was.

It’s sad to say, but at that time, it was a death sentence.

A couple weeks later, we were playing against New England, and I had a rough game. We lost, and as we were walking off the field, about to go into the tunnel, I got hit with a beer. Right in my face. Drenched. I looked up into the stands, and this guy said plenty of words I’d heard before.

“You effing this and that.”

Then he took it to a whole other level.

He said, “You effing n******.”

I can already hear people getting defensive. Just some trash talk, right? Just how it was back then when you went on the road, right?

Nah, bro.

We weren’t in New England.

We were playing at home. We were in Pittsburgh. Dude was wearing a Steelers jacket.

As soon as Tomlin has a non-winning season, he's gonna get fired, I'd bet $1000 on it.

he already survived that one remember they had rumors about firing him for no damn reason either last season or the season before last.

He's had .500 seasons but he's never had a losing season. I guarantee you he'll be fired after he has one.

 

[MikelArteta]

but yeah i remember this rumor, also remember that rumor about troy aikman being gay because he wasn't married

 

[Rocket Scientist]

I'll bet ALL my Coli Cash and change my user name to "Steeler Fan" if that happened. Tomlin is safe

 

[boskey]

Didn't read it yet but I searched the name Michael Westbrook and he isn't mentioned. Thats the other half of the story

 

[3Rivers]

He's had .500 seasons but he's never had a losing season. I guarantee you he'll be fired after he has one.

I don't see it

Now if it was up to a certain segment of the fanbase sure. But I just don't see the ownership firing him after 1 losing season

you gotta stop this TLR dap fishing shyt

Rooneys are stand up folks and the Steelers have only had 3 head coaches in their entire history. It’ll take a lot for Tumlin to be let go

Didn't start that or did he just contribute to it?

There have been 16 but just 3 since 1969.

players fukk up. They used to always push that “3 head coaches” shyt

 

[NatiboyB]

he's never had a non winning season

either way they were talking about firing him I was like shyt we’d take him on the bengals. Just goes to show the double standards for coaches. No way should his name have even came up. Matter of fact wasn’t it the season where they were playing Rudolph due to injuries.
