I just assume if a place has Tequila in front of it, it has its share of bar fights. You wouldn’t expect your offensive coordinator to be in them, but you obviously don’t know Todd Haley that well. Here are the details via the Pittsburgh Gazette.
Call this one the Tequila Cowboy episode, the latest in this popular season-long show.
Todd Haley, ailing from what a team source told the Post-Gazette is a “shattered” pelvis and a badly bruised left side, called the New Year’s Eve incident a “situation” Thursday afternoon.
“A few nights ago unfortunately I was in a situation,’’ said Haley, the Steelers offensive coordinator who spent two days in a hospital for injuries he sustained after reportedly being shoved outside the North Shore bar.
Pittsburgh police say Haley’s wife, Christine, was involved in what they termed a minor scuffle at Tequila Cowboy restaurant and bar on North Shore Drive, a block from Heinz Field.
“The situation, though not of my doing, has been made clear to me by the Steelers that it is a non-issue to both the team and the Steelers organization.’’
“My sole focus is on preparing for next week’s playoff game, so it won’t be addressed further.”
Isn’t it great to have that type of complexion for protection? Can you imagine if this was an actual player, what the uproar would be, but I digress.
