Mike Tomlinism #1

I've always felt that Mike Tomlin was a BS artist that is perfect for corporate management. He'd feel right at home using meaningless marketing-speak such as Ideation, paradigm, and "crossing the chasm". I always see examples of this, and I figured that I'd start tracking some of them.

Today's word: misconnect -> http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09322/1014272-66.stm

In Sunday's game, Ben Roethlisberger could not connect with his receivers on several deep balls. Did Ben underthrow the routes? Did the receiver run the wrong route to begin with? No! The were just "misconnects". Ah, makes perfect sense.
