Rain, snow in the forecast as the weekend approaches

<p>PITTSBURGH &#8212; Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin doesn&#8217;t mind Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw criticizing his performance. It comes with the job.</p><p>Bradshaw likening Tomlin to a &#8220;cheerleader,&#8221; however? Well that&#8217;s another matter entirely. Tomlin said Bradshaw&#8217;s comments last week describing Tomlin as no more than a rah-rah guy &#8220;fall more into the area of disrespect and unprofessional.&#8221;</p><p>Tomlin is one of eight coaches in league history to win at least 100 games in his first 10 seasons. The Steelers (10-5) wrapped up the fifth AFC North title of Tomlin&#8217;s decade-long tenure with a last-second win over Baltimore on Sunday.</p><p>Bradshaw won four Super Bowls with Pittsburgh in the 1970s. He said he didn&#8217;t view Tomlin as a &#8220;great&#8221; coach.</p><p>Tomlin said he&#8217;s fine with that assertion. It&#8217;s the &#8220;cheerleader&#8221; comment that made him raise his eyebrows. Tomlin added, &#8220;What do I know? I grew up a Dallas Cowboys fan. Hollywood Henderson in particular.&#8221;</p><p>Henderson, a former linebacker who faced Bradshaw in a pair of Super Bowls, once said Bradshaw couldn&#8217;t spell the word cat &#8220;if you spotted him the C and the A.&#8221;</p><p>The Steelers finish the season on Sunday against Cleveland.</p><style>
