In all seriousness, I don't know how much of it rests on Tomlin, but I have found myself with a decreasing amount of excitement about the Steelers over the past few years. It's happened in general with me for pro sports, but I see it more significantly with the Steelers because even as a kid I was never as big of a Pens or Buccos fan as I was a Steelers fan (and I grew up with Lemieux and Jagr on the Pens and Bonilla, Bonds, etc. on the Buccos), so the drop in my enthusiasm is much more noticeable.
It's age. Same has happened to me too. Job, house, wife, KIDS, hopefully all allow you to see what is really important. I still love football and the Steelers and will watch the NFL all day Sunday, but what happens isn't so important to me. Football and the Steelers have become a nice little diversion from reality on Sundays in the fall.
