John Harbaugh shares awkward post-game handshake with Mike Tomlin (VIDEO)

(via usatoday.com)

In case you turned off the Steelers-Ravens game after the final whistle, you might have missed this post-game exchange between head coaches Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh.

After coming out on the losing end of a hard-fought 23-20 battle against their division rivals, John Harbaugh swallowed his pride and stepped toward midfield to congratulate Tomlin on the win. But Tomlin was having none of it, and tried to pull the ol’ drive-by handshake, barely even looking Harbaugh in the eye.

That’s when Harbaugh tightened his grasp on the Steelers coach’s hand, physically pulling him back into the exchange, so he could make sure that Tomlin really heard and appreciated his heartfelt congratulations.  Watch for yourselves:

Polamalu makes pro bowl in 1st quarter, out 3-6 weeks with Madden Curse

In case you missed it, Troy Polamalu was a one-man highlight reel in the first half of last night’s Steelers/Titans game.  The Pro Bowl S was everywhere, firing into the backfield with speed and power that you just don’t see, even at the NFL level.  He led both teams with 6 tackles in the first half, all the while his thick black hair floating majestically in the Pittsburgh night air.

And then there was this, ridiculous one-handed interception at the end of the 1st quarter:

With their defense picking up right where they left off, everything was looking good for the Steelers and their faithful.

But then, it happened.  With about three minutes left in the half, Polamalu injured his left knee when a Titans player fell on him after the Steelers blocked a 31-yd FG attempt.  Head Coach Mike Tomlin stated in his post-game press conference that Polamalu will miss 3-6 with an MCL sprain.

In addition to being a major blow to the SB champs, Polamalu also becomes the latest victim of the Madden Curse, after gracing the cover of Madden NFL 10 with Larry Fitzgerald. I’m not normally a big believer in this sort of thing, and I thought the SportsIllustrated curse got overblown.  But as Shutdown Corner points out, this is becoming a real trend. Other recent victims of the Madden curse include Michael Vick (broken leg/prison), Donavan McNabb (hernia, missed 7 games), Shaun Alexander (broken foot, 6 games), Vince Young (moron/back-up) and Brett Favre (douche bag).

The injury happened when Polamalu was attempting to pick up the ball and make yet another play for his team. He was taken to the locker room before the half, and did not return, with back-up Tyrone Carter taking his place. Tomlin said that Polamalu will undergo further tests to determine the exact extent of the injury, and couldn’t rule out the possibility that it could be worse than initially thought.

We Refuse to Discuss the Favre to Vikings Rumors

People are talking about Brett Favre un-retiring again, and possibly returning to play for Minnesota.  Sorry, but we did this last year.  I’m over it. Wake me when he’s actually un-retired, and I’ll roll over and go back to sleep.

Wildcat ... wild ... cat ... pow! I'm gonna go

Wildcat ... wild ... cat ... pow! I'm gonna go.

Instead, we’ll post a few links to people who think this is newsworthy, and a few other articles we enjoyed this morning:

  • PFT says Plane flies from Minneapolis to Hattiesburg (!!!!)
  • It’s Deja Vu All Over Again – Shutdown Corner
  • Al Davis drafts an Actual Wildcat – SportsPickle
  • Mike Tomlin’s Eyes Will Haunt Your Night Terrors (video above from PSAMP)

Now, we’re not even sure what’s going on with Tomlin in that video, but it beats blathering on about Favre non-news.  I swear, ESPN is going to be generating stories like this for years, so that don’t have to actually provide any real in-depth NFL analysis.
