I'll help him out. It was Steve Martin who could not stop the run, put any pressure up the middle, but could talk like hell to the press in the locker room.
And no. Mr Tomase, it was not the Steve Martin that the arrow sticking in his head.
It was Brandon Mitchell who played NT for us in 2001. He didn't stand out before that season and it was the last year of his rookie contract. He was signed by another team in 2002 and we attempted to replace him with Steve Martin. That move alone may have cost us a chance for the postseason that year.
Having seen that mistake, the team traded for a known comodity in Ted Washington.
This is hilarious to me because the reality is that the risk Tomase took in posting that unsubstantiated story before the Super Bowl totally paid off.
Don't believe me? How many people have read their site today JUST because Tomase wrote it? He's a lightning rod and the Herald is going to keep benefitting from it for I'd guess at least until the end of this season before the hatred starts to ebb.
I've never clicked on a single link to that site since that debacle and I don't plan on it either. I am sure there are plenty of people that can comment on it without clicking on it.
