Getting your player ready...
Santa Claus’ visit to Mike Tomlin’s weekly news conference Tuesday wasn’t exactly received with holiday cheer. Santa traditionally has joined the pre-Christmas gathering and often pokes fun at the Steelers coach. Tomlin played along initially, asking, “What have you got for me, Santa?” But when Santa commandeered the news conference for more than five minutes, Tomlin became impatient. To end the unrehearsed skit, Tomlin grudgingly agreed to toss a football to Santa. “If that will get you out of here,” Tomlin said. Later, the Steelers said there would be no future appearances from Santa at any of their news conferences. The Associated Press
