There is an obvious conflict of interest there. Marvin grew up a diehard fan of the steelers, and I don't think it's crazy to think it affected him head coaching a Cincinnati team against Pittsburgh.
I firmly believe it subconsciously affects Marv to some extent. Even if it's a minuscule amount it's too much.
Wow. What a crock.
I'm guessing around 95% of all players and coaches in the NFL are not playing for the teams they were die-hard fans of growing up. So using your logic, all of those players and coaches can't help being affected when they play their childhood teams?
Wow.
