Actually what he said was "blew an 18 point lead - I will never get over that, never" - and then one of the said now you know how we feel and they all laughed.
Some other great lines - to Ed Reed "if I had you and those two corners that's all I'd ever need"...
And to Reggie Wayne, "that's the first time I've ever enjoyed one of those" (when he scored the TD)
And bonding with Polamalu "I just can't even imagine Pittsburgh without Bill Cowher, can't - even - imagine it" to which a dejected Troy says, "me either".
And I loved the line he gave them at the start of practice - how he knows it's the pro bowl and all but it's on national television and "I just don't want us to look like some remedial JV team out there". And at the end in the locker room his parting line to them "I think I could win with this team..."
They all seemed quite taken aback by his personality. Our players always say the Bill they know is not the ogre the media portrays. He works hard and is competitive and takes the actual game seriously even when it's an exhibition, but he has fun. And he loves being around dedicated football players.
Josh looked like he had a good week too.
I really wish someone would tell Bob Kraft and Channel 5 that we could do this every week, or at least make the monthly one an hour long version like the regular season one.
