    You don't know he's pissed anymore than I know he's not, and I wouldn't say a backup 2 our both OLBs, a man who has already had 2 start , and the man who gives breathers all game on both sides a minor player do You???

    If you are talking strictly sports media then I can somewhat see your point. If you are talking general media then you are a million miles off.

    She says positive things about every team, everybody everywhere. She's hardly a bomb thrower. She just had the stones to report that a minor player on this team is unhappy, and those wearing B&G glasses, can't understand why he doesn't just love being here in Football Nirvana..
    A guy who gets less than 20% of the defensive stats = a minor player. And I'm sure he's not happy about it, because he expected more. You also didn't explain, why it undermines the team if the report is phony. And I doubt it is.

    Exactly what stats are you quoting

    His snap counts are snuggled nicely between Watt and Highsmith

    Are they also minor players

    I think it was a fluid situation. He was betting on either injuries or Highsmith not being good, so that he would get more playing time here, thereby ensuring he gets a bigger, longer contract next year. Didn't happen. Now he wants to go with a team that has had pass-rush and / or injuries issues, so that he can play his way into a good contract.

    I myself would trade him to highest bidder not in our division. The odds of both us and KC making the playoffs, and meeting in the playoffs are astronomical. Take the best offer.

    I watch every game more than once..Every game.. Did I say plural?
    I sure did. My bad . Sorry.
    Though starting 1 game , and finishing another...plus breathers for both OLBs every game...sure seems like more than 20% out of 6 games.

    Who knows? Maybe KC made an offer, and Steelers front office floated out the rumor that they didn't want to trade him in conference, thereby trying to force KC to increase their offer. Maybe some GOT stuff going on here, lol.

    No, what people are saying is they don’t trust her and as someone that reported AB was pouting on the sidelines while his teammates celebrated a TD only to have replays show AB celebrating with his teammates, well, I think you get the point.

    I guess Ingram was the starting OLB for all of training camp and preseason with Watt doing his holdout thing, so maybe he started believing the hype.

    Now Watt is back and he is the odd man looking in. Watt is not gong anywhere and Highsmith is only getting better.

    The Stains offers unlimited crap to cover without even trying to look for it. The Factory of Sadness in Clown Town always delivers for reporters.

    Well Rapoport reported it first, so it's not just Aditi.

    If KC calls they should hang up the phone, no way should they help the Chiefs out.

    Why? He is not an every down player anymore just situational. If they can fetch a 4th or possibly squeeze a 3rd out of them all the better. The KC defense is putrid, Ingram will not turn that tide.

    Adidi is a secret spy for the clowns :roflmao:She does enhance the drama effect in her reporting for sure and got all yinz talking about her :lolol: Rapoport is a clown. Good Morning Football is a joke except to see Kay Adams. Now you talk about drama, a clear 100%.

    Yes - I remember Ingram lining up at ILB a few times when we were struggling for depth there. Having Watt, Highsmith and Ingram out on the field a few times could cause the offense a few headaches.

    I'm sorry that your inability to see objective reality troubles you so much. I tried to explain how these things work, but you would rather bury your head in your whiny fanboyishness.

    "She's mean to our guys! She likes the other guys too much!" :rolleyes:

    A reporter listened to a source and got something wrong once, so they can never be trusted again. :rolleyes:

    Sounds like somebody looking for an excuse to dismiss the reporter.

    I'm saying that the general public sees biases that don't exist when it comes to the media all the time, though I was mostly referring to sports media.
