    KJ too why not? Tomlin didn't want to deal with coaching obviously. The veterans were supposed to do that for him. So glad he ran away scared to stay
    Again.

    You call it spite. I call it showing that the inmates don't run the asylum and can't get what they want by throwing a fit.

    I agree that it would have been smarter to give Blount the ball more for the sake of preserving Bell. It's not like Blount wasn't effective.

    You seem to have a pretty flexible opinion on the integrity of the media as long as it helps you win the discussion.

    Last time my math checked out that 900 and 1140 is more than 850. Or are you part of that new school system where you can just make up an answer and get a gold star on your helmet?

    And both years he had less TDs, and one of which 2 more games played. Pick and choose your stats...in the meantime, have you seen my baseball?

    You just skipped right past the point of my post, didn't you? It's not as if I am saying what Dulac does is okay. I have been very critical of him for showing a lack of integrity for years.

    Some folks here, you included, seem to think if one reporter wrote something, then all of the media is doing it. That simply is not the case. If you can demonstrate some inconsistency in my opinion of integrity in the media, by all means, prove it. I think it is more likely you misunderstanding my point, as you seemed to do here.

    We all know the only stories/reports that have any legitimacy are the ones created by the Steelers in house.

    OK. So you are pretty sure Dulac is shady. But can not conceive of Orlovsky being shady?

    Shocking take....they both are less than honest brokers of "information". Gasp! I am shocked! Shocked, I say! Next you will tell me there is gambling in this establishment...

    I would still take DK over Pickens.

    What happened in Detroit is unfortunate however I'm still convinced there is way more to that story than reported, especially knowing there is a history there.

    Pickens may have more talent, but he's a cancer.

    One could argue that DK produced more because he actually participated in running routes and blocking when when the ball wasn't coming to him, things that stats doing tell you.

    You took that in the wrong direction.

    A gold star on a football helmet was a thing. And some of these high schools gave it just for warning the bench.

    Oh so now amount of games matter? Could you please inform the audience why DK was not on the field for 2 games last year?

    I have seen example after example of Dulac contradicting himself and trying to cover it up. I haven't seen that from Orlovsky. I'm suggesting that there should actually be evidence before making such an accusation. Some folks disliking his take is not evidence.

    Now we are at acknowledging that NFL "reporters" do just say random nonsense and that you are willing to consider that this could be the case but not ready to convict without more evidence.

    Long way from how these guys all adhere to a strict code of journalistic ethics.

    While I think that it is entirely possible that Simpson ends up a better NFL QB than Mendoza; I also think it is entirely possible that Orlovsky and others saying that have an agenda. The least "nefarious" one is the simple expediency of figuring out what the majority are saying....and offer up the opposite take. That is by definition going to drive people to your content and platforms. More "nefarious" is that he is doing his agent a solid.

    Either way...doesn't really matter. Like I said....can not find a single one of these guys that is just "reporting". There are no facts here anyway. All just opinions and projections.

    Strangely enough this is pretty obvious to all but about two people on the planet

    And those two seem to think if they keep repeating their fantasies some how they will be true

    No, we are acknowledging that one reporter has shown a lack of integrity in his reporting. I never said all of them adhere to a strict code of journalistic ethics. Also, it doesn't take some strict code to know accepting bribes to present certain information in a certain way is wrong.

    I wonder how many people there are out there who think the Steelers made a huge mistake getting rid of Pickens. I know it is a hell of a lot more than two.
