    Nothing quite like using a tabloid as a source

    Ramsey has never been a problem since he became a Steeler

    Metcalf has never been a problem since he became a Steeler

    Pickens was a problem as a Steeler

    I hope that helps bring clarity

    This , and what a few others have said sums it up perfectly. He's got a clean slate here as of right now.

    So intentionally missing games is different to you for a couple plays throughout a couple season?

    Interesting....

    By the way. Go look at the articles from 2019 written up. Google isn't a hard thing to do.

    I'll take that bet before the season starts, the media will cry about one of these guys. It'll be something like one of them were in a fight, Ramsey isn't looking in shape and quitting on training, etc. Etc.

    Going to look horrible if articles come out about either of these guys, and Pickens goes on to look like no problem for the Cowboys...... and if it goes that way, I know not to blame Tomlin. I know the media will be full of it or blowing things up.

    Pickens is who he is. A zebra can’t change stripes. Steelers should’ve never drafted him. He was mentally unstable playing for Ga.
    Another fixer upper that coach T failed on. Wonder when coach T will realize he can’t fix anything broken
    If he was a carpenter , no way no how would he be allowed on my job site
    Also, adding Fields for @Blast Furnace@Blast Furnace . Mikey thought he could make him a qb. Hahaha hilarious

    Steelers will not have a franchise qb until T is gone.
    So glad that Ben came under the Cowher regime. Ben would’ve been awful under guidance or lack thereof guidance from Mikey.
    Lost a lot of respect when Tomlin brought in Vick. Awful, but Mikey loves those kind of players. He thinks, and it is genuinely a good act, that he can change these types of people who continually struggle with the game of life

    Haven't followed that story. I am worried about the knee. Two meniscus tears on the same knee since he's been in the NFL.

    It appears the disposal of George Pickens is not going well with a certain poster

    Sorry, I thought you were talking about what the latest thread was about. (I got a lot of heat for replying to the main point of a thread before. Remember @Blast Furnace@Blast Furnace @S.T.D@S.T.D @jeh1856@jeh1856 ?)

    Here you go, guess googling is to hard for you. Unless it is pickens negative talk. Or if it's articles that fits your agenda.

    Also, sports illustrated and other important ones are running the story this morning and citing suns as a source, due to the guy who wrote it has connections with players and coaches.

    It's not that Pickens is gone. Yes i would have liked to see him here. He would be insane with DK.

    this is fully about how the media is full of crap a lot of times. They go creating problems a lot of times.

    And let's say it is true, than what @Blast Furnace@Blast Furnace you and I think @S.T.D@S.T.D said is fine that he has not done it here. However the media wants us to believe there's going to be problems for us.

    Also, I find it funny you and a few others understand the media is full of it a lot of times. You even openly admitted that on another thread. (And no I'm not going to go dumpster diving to prove my point. I'm not going to waste that time you like you do with other posters. Either people get it or not).

    I agree, that's when I do care about what the media says.

    Did you hear about Slay potential injury as well?

    Find where I have ever said that the media gets everything correct 100% of the time. The main difference is you think everything is fake news whereas I don’t. And you seem to conflate opinion pieces with factual reporting. These beat writers have sources and are told many things which they formulate an opinion based off of. Some of them I believe are better at it and have their finger on the pulse of the team more than others. Dulac for example used to be a top guy for accurate information but has lost his fastball, he’s been more wrong than right lately.

    Example of opinion:
    Dulac saying the Steelers arent interested in Fields or Wilson. That was his opinion based off of things he was probably hearing and the Steelers track record. The later I think is what is really throwing Dulac off, this ain’t your daddy’s Steelers anymore, Khan is operating differently.

    Example of news:
    TJ posting a pic of him holding up two fingers. Factual but you may be the only one that believes TJ didn’t post that.

    A lot of y’all keep falling for media spin. These so-called “sources” have been a random Facebook posts that ESPN and beat writers ran with— during the Aiyuk rumors.

    Y’all believed Heyward was being difficult in contract talks until he had to call the reporter out himself.

    One outlet says something wrong, and others just echo it.

    Now, if there’s video proof—like Ramsey calling out coaches, saying he wouldn’t play, or DK getting into fights—I get it. But most of what’s out there is garbage.

    Y’all believed a Browns beat writer on Pickens, and some still do. Same thing happened with Bell's contract, Ben retiring early, and Rodgers rumors.

    Just watch—DK and Ramsey will be next. The media will twist it, and I’ll be one of the few pointing out the truth and where their “sources” really come from.

    Y'all fall for false gold, when it fits your agenda. (And by the way I don't care if Ramsey is a jerk to coaches, doing minimal at meetings. The guy plays hard on the field....... I don't care of DK problems of giving up on plays too causing fumbles, fighting at camp, mocking refs with sign language. The guy plays hard on the field and i think he learned to not give up on plays..... and that's how I was with pickens....... I think a lot of these writers just want clicks, so they insanely stretch something out make up something, and then other media places echo it.).

    Today’s journalism has fallen a long ways in the world of instant news and being first to report it. Don’t get it twisted, being first was always important but they wouldnt run anything until they were sure of their reporting. That integrity has been lost in today’s world but I don’t necessarily believe they just make **** up, they just dont verify. And some have better sources than others. The reports that we were interested in Metcalf and Ramsey were both ridiculed and yet here they are.

    FYI Pickens was trashed because of what he did and did not do as observed by the coaching staff and Omar

    Media had nothing to do that

    I get it
