Hey, Ump.

Steelers' coach Mike Tomlin isn't really Taye Diggs, he's Omar Epps.

Omar Epps:

See?

Yeah, I'm not sure exactly why I said Taye Diggs because I have no problem telling the difference between the two. I remember saying it, but still scratching my head why I got it confused.

But, thanks for the pics, because watching the game yesterday, I was explaining to Mandy how similar the Steelers coach (Tomlin) looks to Epps. (I probably screwed that up yesterday too and said Diggs.)

I forgot to add this earlier: when I explained Tomlin's similar look to "Diggs," Mandy replied, "he really looks like someone I just saw in a movie recently." The reason she said that was because we just watched "Equilibrium" (1 Gone With the Wind + 1 Sound of Music = 1 Equilibrium...which Mandy, by the way, really liked) so she could vividly remember Diggs's GQish looks and apparently she must not have thought Digg's looked much like Tomlin (of course). After thinking for a few moments Mandy said, "I think it was the movie 'Love and Basketball.'" I have heard of the movie and seen clips/trailers and was familiar with the possible actors. I didn't think Diggs was in the movie, but wasn't completely sure Epps was. A while later I checked the IMDB for Omar Epps and it said he was in "Love and Basketball." I showed Mandy and emphatically said "yeah, that's him." Then I realized I had screwed up.
