In reality, Tomlin was simply motivating his team like many other coaches do.

Brown gave fans behind-the-scenes access when he recorded the Steelers’ celebratory locker room following their 18-16 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in their AFC divisional round game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Both Slater and Hogan insisted that their focus will be trained exclusively on preparing for what Tomlin and his players will do when they arrive to Gillette Stadium Sunday night – not what they say leading up to kickoff. Let’s just start our preparations.
“Yeah, as you know I’m not on SnapFace and all that, I don’t really get those”, Belichick said on Boston’s WEEI 93.7 FM when asked to respond to Tomlin’s remarks, which included referring to the Patriots as “those a-holes”. We’re going to touch down at 4 o’clock in the fucking morning. His team would, he insisted, be “ready for their ass”. I mean when you were a kid and you were playing against another kid he wasn’t your friend, so like I said it is what it is.
Tomlin described Brown’s 17-minute live video as “foolish”, “selfish” and “inconsiderate” at his press conference on Tuesday.
Ben Roethlisberger remembers his rookie year in 2004, when cornerback Chad Scott spoke to the players about how special it is to play in an AFC Championship Game.
“I have a lot of respect for him; I think that’s very well known”.
Of the showdown between two of the NFL’s premier quarterbacks, Roethlisberger told reporters in Pittsburgh on Wednesday that the matchup involves 22 players, not just two. “Keep your mouth shut”.
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will be trying to win a fifth Super Bowl. In addition to broadcasting a bunch of curse words and naked butts to his 600,000-plus followers, Brown also captured a speech that Tomlin undoubtedly wanted to remain in-house.
The Steelers take on the Patriots on Sunday evening after the Falcons play the Packers in the NFC championship game. While we have to wait to see which team makes it to the Super Bowl, we already know which team’s city is better. He said it was a violation of team policy, and league policy, and plans to punish him for his actions.
“I apologize as a parent for language”, Tomlin said, per Chris Bradford of the Beaver County Times.
