Ep. 080 Colbert Steps into Media Cesspool

Colbert Interview Notes

Man, the media did not miss an opportunity to jump all over an innocuous comment by Kevin Colbert about Ben Roethlisberger's leadership of the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

His interview gave the media another chance to jump all over Ben with all the insight of armchair psychiatrists, diagnosing the so-called Steeler lock room ills, attributing everything from AB's demand to leave the team to climate change on Ben's lack of leadership.

Colbert cleared up the Steeler's intentions for both Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown.  

We were very happy to learn of the re-signing of Tyson Alu-Alu, solidifying depth on the defensive line.   Still hanging out there as free agents: Chickillo, Sensabaugh, Forte, Foster and James.  Jesse is attracting interest from a few teams, so we'll see if TE depth becomes another area of need.

Speaking of which, Colbert mentioned both Chris Boswell and Artie Burns and the regression they experienced last season. Competition will be brought in for Boswell. We already knew that we've got to bring in real talent at cornerback and We talk about the other positions of need: ILB, WR, safety.
