Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin made a very special guest appearance at a Garth Brooks concert.

Why? I have no idea.
The only conceivable reason is that Brooks choose Pittsburgh as the venue for this concert during his birthday weekend. It’s well known that he’s a Pittsburgh fan for all sports.
It’s interesting though as Brooks was born in Oklahoma and even attended Oklahoma State University.
Nevertheless, Tomlin, with a little help from former legendary Steelers Lynn Swann and Mel Blount, sang happy birthday to Brooks while on stage:
As you can see from the video, it was a joyous occasion all the way around.
Brooks was decked out in a Pittsburgh Penguins jersey, and Swann spoke about the reputation of Pittsburgh fans and Steeler Nation (although there is only one nation, Red Sox Nation).
The way I see it is Steelers fans now have public enemy No. 1 in Brooks. Should Tomlin and his franchise falter during the off-season, they’ll blame Brooks for interfering a little too much.
It was actually a little scary how comfortable Tomlin was while up there on stage. Perhaps a side career could be in the works.
