Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin delivered a head-scratching moment on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, seemingly moving the Pro Football Hall of Fame from its rightful home in Canton, Ohio, to Columbus. This geographical slip-up came after the Carolina Panthers secured a win against the Detroit Lions.
Tomlin was discussing Panthers’ quarterback Bryce Young, referencing a previous conversation. “That was the feeling I got when we had a chance to talk to (Bryce Young) in Columbus, Ohio, at the Hall of Fame Game,” Tomlin said. He continued, explaining that Young “talked about building on that momentum. … Really through the first month of the season we’re seeing that that is a real statement.”
After Tomlin’s comment, analyst Maria Taylor quickly, and humorously, chimed in with a much-needed correction. “It’s Canton, Ohio, where you’ll be one day with a gold jacket,” she joked, reminding everyone where the iconic football shrine actually resides. It was a lighthearted moment that had everyone doing a double-take, wondering if they’d missed a major relocation announcement.
