If anyone catches Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin fist pumping following a potential victory in the Super Bowl on Sunday, we will all know why.

According to The Huddle on USAToday.com, Tomlin admitted he enjoys watching MTV’s Jersey Shore during an interview with Adam Schein and Rich Gannon on Sirius NFL Radio.

When asked what he would do Saturday night to prepare for the big game on Sunday, Tomlin said that watching television helps calm his nerves.

“It depends if something’s good on,” Tomlin said about what he’ll be watching. “Maybe I can DVR Jersey Shore or something and catch up on that. I’ve been working a little bit this week, man. Hopefully I can catch up there as we get close to game time.”

Schein and Gannon then asked if Tomlin was serious about liking the show, and to that he replied simply, “We all need mindless entertainment every now and then.”

Hopefully Snooki is a Steelers fan.
