melvin ingram wants out

Schefter now reporting the Steelers did, in fact, get a raven yesterday.

 

With that name I'd think she was a Chiefs or Washington fan.

 

He spared people that were injured why do we think we won't have any more injuries just because everyone is healthy now?

 

Impressive considering that Cleveland tends to rip the heart out of their fans

 

Is it me or does it seem like we have way more of these issues than most teams with players wanting out and demanding trades?

I attribute it to two things... #1 we have shown we are willing to bend over to what ever a player wants. We've shown every player that you can get your way in Pittsburgh. #2 it's a clear sign of poor leadership. Like any job when you have bad bosses people want out and it usually leads to ugly departures. Employee's that respect their bosses don't leave in this manner. They want to be a part of the team and if they do leave they leave with class.

 

I think Collinsworth is one of the best announcers there is. You are exactly correct. I love the Steelers but when they are bad and someone points out how bad they are I have to agree. If a team doesn't want negative coverage then play better. The negative coverage then goes away. I'll get roasted for this

 

I agree completely. But the part I find funny is you can come on this board (especially after a loss) and self proclaimed die hard Stiller fans will post things about the team, coaches and players that are 100x worse than what Collinsworth or some other reporter would ever say and that’s fine. But if a media figure is the least bit critical of the team, it can dismissed as simple blind hatred.

 

Like a pet Raven?

 

That’s what I thought

 

Easy. Somebody told her a story and went with it. I explained this, but your bias against the media is blinding you to the very simple explanation.

Her reporting isn't gospel, but it is far more valid than you make it out to be.

My past employment in the field allows me to actually understand what is going on in a way that you don't. Making things up doesn't pay. The few reporters who do it eventually get caught.

 

I don't believe her either. Lolley reported that Ingram has 242 snaps, 10 more than Highsmith, and 6 fewer than Watt. He has been on the field more frequently lately by my eye. He reported that the Chiefs called about Ingram and they turned them down, that was it.

Whatever the situation I doubt the Steelers move him.

 

yep

i'll take a 3rd next year for him.

only top teams will try to get him, so it would be a late 3rd...

 

agreed - he was an ins policy. not sure how much time MT told he he'd play, but I only thinking 15-20 snaps per game.

 

His snaps were way down against Seattle, which was the first time all season that both Watt and Highsmith looked healthy for the entire game. Perhaps he sees that as the direction the defense is going.

 

So at best she's lazy at worst incompetent. This reminds me of the intern who hooked up my father's pacemaker wrong. She claimed she did just what she was told. Still didn't make her anymore right.

 

Well, he’s likely out…. for Sunday anyway. Listed as doubtful.

 

Steelers fans attack Aditi on social media more than Browns fans, that's probably why she reports the way she does on each team.

 

Tomlin Sucks!

 

A reporter made one mistake and you want to write her off as lazy or incompetent? The hatred of the media on this board really brings out comically-bad takes. You just added to the pile.

 

I don't defend journalism at all costs. I'm telling you how those mistakes happen. I honestly don't remember the incident and I didn't find it in a quick internet search. At the absolute worst, it is one mistake. It is comical that you and others here are trying to dismiss a reporter entirely based on one incident. It speaks to the blind disdain many people have for the media.

Actually, I wasn't a reporter that long ago and I still know quite a few people in the business. I understand the influence of social media on reporting better than you do. I understand the approach of reporters better than you do. This isn't bragging. I simply have experience and connections that you don't have. I'm sure you understand your field far better than I do.

Where did I say the modern world hasn't had a negative impact on journalism? I didn't, but now you are resorting to putting words in my mouth to try to sell your argument. I find that disappointing. You are normally better than that.

There is a difference between making a mistake and making a story up. Sure, there have been a few examples of reporters who made things up, but they are the exception, not the rule. I remember a guy making up a quote that he attributed to Gregg Lloyd in the '90s. If I remember correctly, it became Lloyd's excuse to not talk to the local media. There have always been a few dirtbags like that, but in my experience, those folks double down rather than admit their mistakes/misdeeds.

 

I miss Walter Cronkite
