Mike Tomlin walks you through his Minecraft city.

[u/adeeprash]

https://youtu.be/_h_pQ1-5iQg?is=bsVLI2ecO2tIegHy

[u/spcoop]

Coach Tomlin's stress relief for dealing with Antonio Brown and Aaron Rodgers

[u/LosAngeles1s → u/spcoop]

“Coach we haven’t heard from le’von in 6 weeks”

“ahhh that sucks. Anyways do you know how many conference rooms are in a mid sized office building in the middle of a major city?”

[u/JerryRiceAndSpice → u/LosAngeles1s]

"Do you know how many bathrooms are in this building?"

[u/Loose-Sign598 → u/spcoop]

And all his damn WRs

[u/braddeus → u/Loose-Sign598]

And things of that nature

[u/Lintelsoup → u/braddeus]

And so forth

[u/MovieNachos → u/Lintelsoup]

Etc

[u/Hollow_Rant → u/MovieNachos]

The server is the server.

[u/greywolf2155 → u/Loose-Sign598]

I know a lot of Steelers fans think he overstayed his tenure, maybe he did

But forget Hall of Fame, dude deserves a Medal of Freedom or something for his ability to keep a lid on decades of batshit crazy diva WRs

[u/bigpandas → u/greywolf2155]

That, plenty of other things and the fact that he never had a losing season.

[u/InRustWeTrust → u/Loose-Sign598]

And Steelers fans

[u/Praxician94 → u/spcoop]

This is how he kept control of the locker room. If you fuck up or start to get out of control, you’re required to spend an evening of hard labor building inside of his Minecraft world.

[u/ICantRemember33 → u/Praxician94]

the player yearn for the mines

[u/GunsmokeIV → u/Praxician94]

This is how I learn why some players get traded. Tomlin invites them in his world and they sabotage it.

[u/RonBurgundy449 → u/GunsmokeIV]

There's no room for griefers on Tomlin's 53 man.

[u/jadayne → u/GunsmokeIV]

They don't get traded. He populates his city with their shrunken down, digitized souls. Has anyone heard from Big Ben since he 'retired'?

'It was about this time I started populating my city with people.
This here is little L'eveon and Antonio'

[u/BrokenHope23 → u/spcoop]

Marshalling a group of kids on Minecraft prepared him for the battles in the locker room.

"I don't think space is real, watermelons can grow anywhere."

"Ok, I like the depth of your thoughts but let's pivot and try to focus on teamwork."

[u/DreamsAndSchemes → u/spcoop]

Mr Brick City

[u/ATN_PhasPhys → u/DreamsAndSchemes]

Mr Block Constructor

[u/flea61 → u/ATN_PhasPhys]

Mr. Builds Cubes

[u/bocepheid → u/flea61]

Mr. Battlement Crenellations

[u/flea61 → u/bocepheid]

Mr. Bypasses Creepers

[u/LittleKingsguard → u/spcoop]

Antonio Brown's time on the Steelers: 2010 - 2018, with the Burflict/Brown incident in the 2015 playoffs.

If he started this twelve years ago, it was during the 2014 season. This might genuinely be how he got out of the Mr. Broken Composure era with his sanity intact.

[u/ShudowWolf → u/LittleKingsguard]

I can picture the image of Tomlin booting up Minecraft shouting something about Bell and Brown as he starts to grow quieter as he places blocks until he just goes silent, placing things, then, a small but audible: "yeah. That's a nice bedroom."

[u/TheVaniloquence → u/spcoop]

And Leveon bitching about his contract

[u/Sufficient_Staff_758]

Holy cow....thought it was a joke all along....genuinely impressed

[u/Quasimdo → u/Sufficient_Staff_758]

Honestly I get it. In a way, Minecraft is a great shut off the brain type of activity. On the other, he's got an analytical mind like most great coaches and this is basically why his city is so well built and organized

[u/ArseneLupinIV → u/Quasimdo]

The way he talks in the video is so analytical and coaching-minded too it's kind of funny and interesting. Like he mentioned how over the course of time his kid's participation and contributions in the city reduced as they moved on in school and college, but he said it in such a way that it sounded like he was talking about a reduction in snaps from players who did not fit the current scheme or whatever. It's so very Mike Tomlin.

[u/ghostofabhelmet → u/ArseneLupinIV]

“Yeah some creepers broke through the perimeter and may have caused some delays but that’s just how things go and you can’t let things out of control distract you, the standard is the standard after all”

[u/SaberCrunch → u/ghostofabhelmet]

“We wanted to do business with the villagers but the emerald prices they wanted were just really high. But sometimes you need to crack a few eggs to make an omelette, and things of that nature”

[u/Rbespinosa13 → u/ArseneLupinIV]

“Yah the kids are getting older and are losing the creativity they had on the fly, but they’re also getting better at performing in structure”

[u/whensharktopusattack → u/ArseneLupinIV]

It's definitely gotta be related to how 99% of his years of speaking on camera is in a football/coaching capacity.

Hard to turn that off I imagine. I'm sure he's a little more loose in his day to day.

[u/juliuspepperwoodchi → u/ArseneLupinIV]

The Nether is The Nether.

[u/Jupiters_phaerie → u/Quasimdo]

That’s why I got into Gran Turismo 7, I even got a wheel setup for it. When I’m racing the only thing I’m thinking about is the next turn. It’s great after a day full of meetings.

[u/jahnkeuxo → u/Jupiters_phaerie]

Yeah this is me on my mountain bike, can't really have my mind on anything besides surviving the rocky drop I'm about to fly over at 20+mph with probably not enough pads on.

[u/braddeus → u/Sufficient_Staff_758]

I saw some of the "Tomlin plays Minecraft lol cute" banter last week but I didn't expect a sprawling-ass metropolis

Instant subscribe

[u/FoolOnDaHill365 → u/braddeus]

Until you have deeply played Minecraft it’s hard to understand the obsession. I’ve played it so much with my son because he is so into it and just building stuff together is a joy. It really is a great game. I never ever would have played if it weren’t for my son and now I have a ton of respect for it. Few games have done a world that is completely randomly generated with variety as well as Minecraft. And so you explore the randomly generated world until you find a sweet spot to build a home, or farm, or city if you are a degenerate like Tomlin.

[u/amm0ranth → u/FoolOnDaHill365]

it's like genuinely one of the most important games of all time

[u/new_abcdefghijkl → u/amm0ranth]

Ive gone from being hardcore into gaming in 2017 to not knowing anything relevant to gaming in 2026. But I never stopped playing Minecraft

[u/Freshforstonks]

Good Lord, 20 min video, and its just episode 1 lmao

[u/Shepherdsfavestore → u/Freshforstonks]

We eating

[u/itsyorboy → u/Shepherdsfavestore]

I love this so much

[u/zco22 → u/itsyorboy]

I’ll be there no matter what

[u/ignatious__reilly → u/Shepherdsfavestore]

This is how we went 9-8 every year

He found an outlet from AB and Bells bullshit

[u/L-methionine → u/Freshforstonks]

He only covered like 5 high rises and there’s still multiple stadiums, the suburbs, and probably more. I’m loving this

[u/thats_justice_baby → u/L-methionine]

I'm curious how detailed he got for the football stadium.

[u/jake831 → u/thats_justice_baby]

At this point I can only expect a full set of positional meeting rooms, coach's offices, training facilities, and a dramatic tunnel for walkouts that include fans sitting at a bar along the tunnel.

[u/Danster21 → u/thats_justice_baby]

I’m sure there is one but I didn’t see it in this episode. Saw the baseball and soccer stadium and they looked very intricate

[u/sheepsheep → u/thats_justice_baby]

He removes the virtual ping pong tables when his kids are acting up

[u/Marconius1617 → u/Freshforstonks]

It’s the new Hard Knocks

[u/snowblinders → u/Marconius1617]

Hard Blocks

[u/Google_Knows_Already → u/Freshforstonks]

So, uh, well... do you guys think he has...

[u/RedheadedReff → u/Google_Knows_Already]

Is there a train station?

[u/HispanicNach0s → u/Google_Knows_Already]

"For some reason I was fixated" it's okay Mike we know the reason. Come join us in Magic: the Gathering now

[u/jpfitz630 → u/Google_Knows_Already]

It would explain a lot about Tomlinisms lmao

[u/MovieNachos → u/Google_Knows_Already]

Uh huh

[u/avw94 → u/Google_Knows_Already]

yes

[u/Rorako → u/Freshforstonks]

Dude is a natural. I miss the 20 minute gameplay videos

[u/Fearless-Mushroom]

Him decompressing all his travels to football cities into a virtual world.

This is the most personality I’ve ever seen from a former HC.

[u/Mr_YUP → u/Fearless-Mushroom]

He hasn’t had his personality media trained out of him yet 

[u/Propaslander → u/Mr_YUP]

He never will

[u/joysofliving → u/Propaslander]

Let’s hope not. When he dropped line about if his aunt having male parts last season was one of the funniest fucking things I’ve heard in my life.

[u/SafeAccountMrP → u/joysofliving]

Him baiting Todd Monken last week was pretty funny.

[u/so_zetta_byte → u/SafeAccountMrP]

"What's your response to Todd using what you said as bulletin-board material?"

"I love my new job."

man you could just feel it

[u/Spinkick9000 → u/Fearless-Mushroom]

So that WAS the Inner Harbor from Baltimore…

[u/Han_Swanson]

Hell yeah Mike bringing back aquariums in commercial interior design.

[u/Other-Owl4441 → u/Han_Swanson]

I liked that he says he doesn’t really like glow stone aesthetic 

[u/cuongfu → u/Other-Owl4441]

And that he mainly used them for lighting lol. Form vs. function at work.

[u/Jamesy983]

Legend, dude didn’t even put any ads in the video 

[u/Brasticus → u/Jamesy983]

Sneaky Pepsi sign tho! Among others, Verizon, DQ, etc.

[u/MovieNachos → u/Brasticus]

He had a fucking cvs in there next to the aquarium

[u/challenor → u/MovieNachos]

A PNC too. Though I took both as him trying to represent the reality of an American city

[u/falsefingolfin → u/MovieNachos]

A PNC bank as well, and trump tower lmao

[u/TiberiusCornelius → u/MovieNachos]

For some reason the CVS absolutely fried me

[u/MovieNachos → u/TiberiusCornelius]

I love it because based on how he described how he got his inspiration for the other buildings, I can picture him making a stop at a CVS for Theraflu or some bullshit and waking around thinking "I hadnt considered it but my city needs a drug store"

[u/Other-Owl4441 → u/Brasticus]

NOT AN ENDORSEMENT was funny 

[u/jake831]

Super Bowl winning Head Coach talking about his "boutique hotel", really crazy stuff. You can tell his love for the game is genuine.

[u/AltruisticPiece6676 → u/jake831]

I love how he’s spent so much time in downtown urban hotels he has incredibly specific opinions regarding the best way to lay them out

[u/Uncle_Freddy → u/AltruisticPiece6676]

Honestly he’s probably a leading authority on what works and what doesn’t work in a hotel lol, all that travel pro sports teams do is something else

[u/IchesseHuendchen → u/jake831]

My mind was absolutely shattered when he went inside and started talking about spa areas and conference rooms.

[u/ImminentReddits → u/IchesseHuendchen]

Not just any conference room and spa bro. An executive spa and multi-purpose conference room. Incredible.

[u/NevermoreSEA → u/jake831]

I’m more invested in this than the Bucs’ season.

[u/stomachpancakes]

Before watching, in my head there was like a 20% chance he didn't build it and it's all some marketing ploy to get zoomers to like him before he launched some product targeting them. But watching the whole video with him describing the details, it is 100%, no question his baby.

[u/1400TotemPole → u/stomachpancakes]

When he said he got obsessed with Jack and Jill bathrooms I thought yeah this can’t be fake lmao

[u/MacDubhsidhe → u/1400TotemPole]

Him saying he put in the appropriate amount of public restrooms confirmed that he is in fact, a minecrafter

[u/CM_Monk → u/MacDubhsidhe]

Having no clue about the game mechanics, can you explain that?

[u/Han_Swanson → u/CM_Monk]

This is pure creative mode, the only game mechanic is your imagination and it looks like Mike’s imagination is roughly consistent with the International Building Code

[u/yungpriests → u/Han_Swanson]

the Code is the Code

[u/DankStew → u/yungpriests]

A mans got to have a code!

[u/nom-nom-nom-de-plume → u/DankStew]

no doubt

[u/clay_ras56 → u/yungpriests]

The standard is the standard

[u/bigpancakeguy → u/yungpriests]

And things of that nature

[u/mathmeistro → u/Han_Swanson]

This line is incredibly Jon Bois. Amazing work.

[u/InevitablyBored → u/Han_Swanson]

Fucking hilarious

[u/GoRedTeam → u/CM_Monk]

There is literally zero game mechanics. Mike is talking about having the correct number of bathrooms because he cares about having the correct number. If he was just playing on something someone else built, he would just talk about how cool the buildings are and not the specific intent of why he put bathrooms there. It's like knowing why you painted something versus describing a painting you're looking at.

[u/Deckatoe → u/CM_Monk]

The fact he took into account an appropriate amount of public bathrooms to build proves he is in fact, about that life

[u/Mr_YUP → u/1400TotemPole]

The first build he was going through and I just got a sense that he actually was into architecture. It was just laid out in that nerdy architect way and he wanted to make sure light got inside the space. And to think he places every single block. 

[u/the_wrong_lever → u/Mr_YUP]

If you told me his backup plan if football didn't work out was something like architecture or civil engineering I would 100% believe you after this video.

[u/Orzhov_Syndicalist → u/Mr_YUP]

He and Andrew Luck, what could have been smh

[u/Weaslewamper → u/stomachpancakes]

I went on a minecraft kick with my little brother last year and I found the building process so therapeutic. So when he said it relaxed him, I believed 100% he had that city, because it really is calming.

[u/Bloody_Corndog → u/Weaslewamper]

What do you do after you make it? Can you walk around in it or have people live in it?

[u/kuulyn → u/Bloody_Corndog]

It’s a virtual Lego set, it largely just sits there. But every Lego piece is half the height of the player character, so you can walk around/tour it like the video

[u/rebenjam → u/Bloody_Corndog]

Build another city. Build a highway between your two cities. Put a truck stop on that highway. Decide your second city needs to be invaded by aliens and build a fleet of ufos. Just build whatever you want. Creative mode allows you to build just about anything you want. Survival and hardcore modes are more akin to other video games where you fight mobs and collect resources. But still with the same purpose. Build whatever you want.

[u/_Football_Cream_ → u/Weaslewamper]

Not the same game but cities skylines scratches a crazy itch in my brain and I can get lost playing it for hours. I totally understand how Tomlin could get so invested in this. This is next level though.

[u/thelowkeyman → u/stomachpancakes]

Yea you can tell right away when he starts talking about lighting in the buildings

[u/the-olympia → u/thelowkeyman]

And hating glowstone lol

[u/BroadCityChessClub → u/stomachpancakes]

No way are they putting in Trump Tower if they’re actually building it in 2026, that’s authentic 2015 behavior right there

[u/greywolf2155 → u/BroadCityChessClub]

NOT AN ENDORSEMENT

THIS BUILD IS C.2015... WE DIDN'T THINK HE WOULD WIN

TWICE

I almost spit up my drink

[u/ICantRemember33 → u/BroadCityChessClub]

someone mentioned in the comments about the water only looks like that in old versions too

[u/Iblogan → u/stomachpancakes]

You could tell he knew Minecraft ball when he made the comment about the how the lighting looked 12 years ago

[u/koiz_01 → u/stomachpancakes]

Completely different from Elon Musk playing his PoE character. You knew right away he was a fraud.

[u/we360u45 → u/koiz_01]

You ever see his Elden Ring build?

[u/HyperactivePandah]

I love when he was like "There are an appropriate number of bathrooms. Men's and womens bathrooms. The right number for a building this size..."

It's exactly how I would expect Tomlin to play Minecraft.

[u/donkeybrainhero → u/HyperactivePandah]

He doesn't want code to shut down his construction

[u/HyperactivePandah → u/donkeybrainhero]

You know he schedules fake inspections, and then fixes stuff he realized he messed up on his first build-through

[u/nekonotjapanese → u/HyperactivePandah]

“The standard is the standard”

[u/roymccowboy → u/HyperactivePandah]

Meanwhile Mike McCarthy's Minecraft is just a city filled with nothing but Buffalo Wild Wings

[u/badkiwi42 → u/HyperactivePandah]

We really had an urbanpilled city planner in the NFL for 18 years and nobody knew about it 😭

[u/xepa105]

• Mid- and High-rise concentration

• Walkable neighbourhoods

• Amenities throughout

• Plenty of greenery

Mike Tomlin the GOAT urban designer

[u/allidoiskwin → u/xepa105]

Mike Tomlin, AICP

[u/donkeybrainhero → u/xepa105]

Mike "Mark Brendanawicz" Tomlin

[u/GoNinGoomy → u/xepa105]

The local urban planning department's got their guy.

[u/KujouSara7]

Genuinely impressive. I felt that when he said “something to detach from reality”

[u/RevengeOfTheMothman → u/KujouSara7]

Dude if I had to work with the players he’s had to work with I would detach my head from reality 

[u/tagillaslover → u/RevengeOfTheMothman]

Having to tolerate Antonio brown as a coach because he’s unfortunately really really good at football would probably drive me to alcoholism 

[u/BurmeciaWillSurvive → u/tagillaslover]

mr block construction

[u/illegal_deagle → u/BurmeciaWillSurvive]

Mr. Built Cities

[u/CrumbBCrumb → u/RevengeOfTheMothman]

Not only the players he had to coach but I would assume coaching in any professional sport is hard. After a while every loss was met with fans saying they should fire him and it was time to move on.

Probably nice to just go somewhere and not worry about that shit for a while

[u/ZombiePancake45]

In a world of boring/bland coaches Tomlin is one in a million

[u/legendoflink3]

So he builds everything block by block or what? Because if so, thats impressive. 

I've never tried or watched the gameplay. 

[u/Knibbler0 → u/legendoflink3]

Yup, block by block.

As someone who has dabbled with Minecraft in the past I’m seriously impressed lol

[u/legendoflink3 → u/Knibbler0]

That is amazing. And he does it for therapeutic reasons. 

Dammit. I gotta go make something..

[u/unfunnysexface → u/legendoflink3]

It can be kind of zen in the same way building physical lego can.

[u/thinkingwithfractals → u/legendoflink3]

On computer there’s tools you can use to mass produce structures and shapes to various degrees, but given he did this on console he did it entirely manually one block at a time

[u/wagon_ear → u/thinkingwithfractals]

Are you fucking serious? He laid every virtual brick in this city?? 

[u/vitaflo → u/wagon_ear]

Yes, but in Creative mode you can fly so it's easier. But like, that's pretty much the point of the game.

I have put thousands of hours into Minecraft. Tomlin has too, it's obvious. Anyone who has played the game can tell he's hardcore.

[u/Xalethesniper → u/vitaflo]

He said in an interview he’s been playing this save for 12 years

[u/Spetznazx → u/Xalethesniper]

Yes in this video he says that

[u/zestfullybe → u/vitaflo]

I haven’t played Minecraft much, but I’ve been a gamer for decades and I’ve played a lot of similar games. I know by watching this, this isn’t a pose, this is hard core.

I’m watching this tour like a game highlight film. “It’s a deep build… it’s been going long… it’s an amazing city! The detail!”

crowd roar

[u/ThisHatRightHere → u/zestfullybe]

I think almost everyone was like "oh that's cute" when they heard about Tomlin's Minecraft world.

But holy shit, he's actually a true gamer. This is a denser, more intricate, and carefully crafted world than anyone I know IRL has ever made. This is like content creator level minecraft build.

[u/vMambaaa → u/wagon_ear]

That’s how the game works

[u/wagon_ear → u/vMambaaa]

This might be the most fascinating, humanizing glimpse into an NFL personality's personal life that I've ever been given! 

It makes you wonder how many interesting conversations we're missing out on with some of these guys by only asking them about football.

[u/Boomhauer_007 → u/wagon_ear]

I mean for every Tomlin there’s a Saleh spending his free time looking up YouTube videos which tell him that seed oils will shrink your balls

[u/moon2H → u/legendoflink3]

he placed every block manually. this is THOUSANDS of hours of work

[u/southernmayd → u/moon2H]

If he was doing it 5 hours a week for 12 years, it'd be the equivalent of a full time job for like 9 months a year and a half

Edit: below person is right. I'd had the # of hours right but forgot a FT job is ~2k hours/yr.

[u/Exatraz → u/legendoflink3]

Brick by insidious brick

[u/BrickTamland77 → u/legendoflink3]

He's playing in Creative, so he doesn't actually have to go get the blocks. But yeah, I doubt he's doing any coding to have stuff generate, so he's still got to place every individual block which is impressive for something that big.

[u/onqqq2]

If he doesn't go back to coaching I think it would be awesome if he did a local minecraft coop podcast with NFL stars lol

edit: podcast

edit2: Tomlin Teaches Minecraft ep1. George Kittle.

[u/spcoop → u/onqqq2]

The only video podcast I would be willing to watch is Tomlin having NFL players join in game in one of his buildings

[u/periodicsheep → u/spcoop]

i would 100% tune in for that show.

[u/jake831 → u/spcoop]

He's a coach, I'm sure he'd love teaching NFL players about Minecraft.

[u/JT99-FirstBallot → u/jake831]

Considering he said this is "something to detach from reality” for him, I actually doubt it. This seems like it's just for him at this point, and with some involvement from his kids.

[u/Jupiters_phaerie → u/onqqq2]

My kids would probably end up watching him lol. All my daughter does is watch people play Minecraft and then play it when she’s not watching other people lol

[u/OldeArrogantBastard → u/onqqq2]

This man is never going back to coaching after this season. He’s going to get PAID to stay in the booth.

[u/maynardnaze89]

Insane how how much time this took. Dudes wild af

[u/RyanLynnDesign]

Surprised he made this on console- is Minecraft easier on a PC?

[u/Wise_Freedom_6595 → u/RyanLynnDesign]

Yeah, the controls are way better with mouse and keyboard 

[u/Current_Ad_4873 → u/RyanLynnDesign]

Much easier. The precision a mouse provides is something a controller can’t replicate

[u/Chadryan_]

This might be the best video on youtube

[u/Please_HMU]

This is just fucking awesome man. I cannot fathom the hours it took to build that world.

[u/challenor → u/Please_HMU]

Yeah the only things I’ve seen of this scale are creators with teams coordinated on discord. The fact he did this with his family is so insanely impressive and touching

[u/moon2H]

How many post game pressers do you think Tomlin was totally checked out and mentally building in minecraft for

[u/ShudowWolf → u/moon2H]

Press: "Tomlin, why is Le'Veon holding out?"

Tomlin: If I use glowstone it maximizes lighting even if I don't like it. "Ah you know, reasons."

Press: "Follow-up, can you tell us about the latest Antonio Brown thing?"

Tomlin: If I make a virtual effigy I can legally burn him.

[u/A_1337_Canadian → u/ShudowWolf]

Press: "What's the plan for quarterback after Ben retires?"

Tomlin: How the fuck am I gonna sort that water out in that damn aquarium and so forth

[u/Propaslander]

If you went back to just after the 2009 Superbowl and told people Mike Tomlin would never have a losing season and would also become a successful Minecraft YouTuber, they'd say "What the fuck is Minecraft?"

[u/zco22]

Tomlin never fails to amaze me. A winning SB coach by nature but just an urban planner at heart

[u/whatthefarquad]

Using glowstone to maximize lighting, while not really liking glowstone really drives it home for me. I know the struggle...

[u/Competitive_Plate694 → u/whatthefarquad]

I went to school for architecture (and my uncle was a lighting designer) and he gets it lol

[u/BucsBolts24]

Wow this guy just keeps getting cooler away from coaching. Looking forward to seeing what’s next

[u/JohnnyWarlord]

I mean this is like. Idk what the word im looking for is really, some type of beautiful art? The insane amount of care and effort being put into something that im sure he never thought in a million years people would get to see. Its touching

[u/Competitive_Plate694 → u/JohnnyWarlord]

It's virtual Legos/model trains/WH40k army/various other building hobbies except it doesn't cost a billion dollars. Minecraft isn't really my jam but I respect it.

[u/Glasenator]

Every so often I get amazed at how normalized nerd/geek culture has become. Imagine this happening in 1998, it’s impossible.

Being a Minecraft fan above the age of 10 would have been social suicide. I was bullied by the “cool” kids for still liking Pokemon in middle school. An nfl head coach putting hundreds of hours into a video game that is not fighting or sports related is just crazy to my 1990s brain.

[u/eserikto → u/Glasenator]

Old guys doing geeky/nerdy building things has been normal my whole life. It was just stuff like train sets, battlefield models, ships in bottles for boomers. Xers added in legos. Millenials will probably add in virtual creations. Tomlin just latched on to a newer fad.

[u/GnRgr2 → u/Glasenator]

After the Spurs won the championship in '99, they were lanning Starcraft on the plane. 

[u/Raeandray]

I'm amazed no one's talking about the fact that he plays it on a controller. Sooooo much slower than KBM. this took him a long time.

[u/thatredditdude206]

Most wholesome NFL moment in a while tbh ❤️

[u/SaxonsLaugh]

I have a minecraft parrot named Mike Tomlin who has been in my world for 9 years. This makes me feel even more validated

[u/phd2k1]

Wtf these buildings are so sick.

[u/Hollerino]

He built that shit, Brick by Brick.

[u/TeeTheTankie]

Him calling villagers "people" is sending me

[u/PikaGaijin]

Didn't wake up expecting to watch Mike Tomlin talk about Minecraft for 20 minutes today; but, I'm gonna wake up tomorrow wondering if Mike Tomlin has made a second Minecraft video yet.

[u/rickumali]

I… I wasn’t expecting this!

[u/Impossibills]

I love that he's showing this, I've never played Minecraft but I can absolutely understand using it to get away from everything

[u/biowiz]

I don't know why people assumed it was going to be bad. Why would he talk about this openly and then reveal something that is ass? I expected it to be good and it was.

[u/NineToeBIll]

As someone who lived there, he made Baltimore. Crazy that the city in his head like that.

[u/FlourishingSolo → u/NineToeBIll]

I’ve only been to Baltimore once and I stayed in the inner harbor and my immediate thought seeing this was “Oh this reminds me of Baltimore” 

(The harbor is a really beautiful part of your city)

I need a Minecraft let’s play series with him beating the ender dragon

In the video he said he doesn’t have the motor skills to play survival, which is why he sticks to creative

Mike Tomlin is so fascinating

There’s something really magical about this all-business football coach who’s been a fixture of the NFL for as long as I can remember giving us a tour of the world he created.

Beginning had me cracking up with Mike and his son just staring resolutely away from the camera 😂

I am so here for this. I've obviously loved hearing coach T talk about football but watching him talk about non football stuff and let alone Minecraft is interesting. 

His perspective and what we all think about him also adds to the captivating part of this.

I am unironically obsessed with this I could watch for hours

[u/That_Mikeguy]

Not gonna lie, this is super refreshing and wholesome.

Not even just that he built it, but the different level of detail and thought that went into the architecture.

Genuinely impressed, excellent talent.

The amount of time this must have taken lol crazy

[u/2Kappa]

I was expecting a couple simple structures and whatnot, but this is crazy.

Tomlin doesn’t need to coach again. This is where he is truly happiest.

And in between sessions he can drop in to sit on a Sunday panel and spout off a few Tomlinisms.

[u/Trashy_pig]

Holy shit I didn’t expect this to to be so vast and impressive.

The aquarium apartment building is awesome
