I think it was also that he wouldn’t start on any team in the AFC North which was insane because neither he, nor I, can name the Steelers starting WRs. I would grant that might be true for the Browns, and certainly not a number 1 over Chase but probably their number 2, but I struggled to see how that could work in Pitt. Even if you really like JuJu (I think he is a JAG whose entire career was made by AB) he would certainly be their other starter.

I put no weight in the conflict of interest arguments these clowns come up with. Any journalist who's partakes in any sort of stock ownership program, including 401Ks/IRAs, etc. could have an argument made against them that they're being unethical and have a conflict of ownership. That represents the large majority of reporters and journalists in this country.
I could argue both sides of the JPP angle. If he just published a story saying what happened, without the document, everybody would have been fine with it, which is a little bit of a moral conundrum to begin with, but that's how the public does things these days... they apply selective morality.
All the document did was verify the information being reported.
Ethics and morals are a lose/lose argument. They're, by definition, subjective. Just because somebody on Twitter thinks somethings unethical, or even a group of people thinking something is unethical, doesn't mean really anything. Things that are universally accepted as unethical or "wrong" are called laws. Everything else exists in a subjective area.
That's why many employers establish things like Codes of Conduct. It's to create a set of applied standards, to all workers, that goes above and beyond what the law says. The employer establishes an accepted, objective pattern of behavior, and it establishes an unaccepted, objective pattern of behavior. They do this because they don't trust people to operate in a civil way outside of what the law requires.

Then he said Hollywood wouldn't start on ANY team in the AFC. I want some of what he's smoking.
Chase Claypool and Diontae Johnson are the Steelers top 2 receivers. JuJu is the number 3 receiver and he's now done for the year. Hollywood would absolutely start alongside Claypool.

There isn’t a team in the league that Hollywood couldn’t be a top shelf wr3 that will absolutely change every defenses game plans. Wr3 is a starter in 2021. That’s bare minimum, he’s WR2 on probably half the teams in the league.
Bart Scott straight up hasnt watched film. Hollywood is a top 3 deep threat in the league right now and is maybe the most devastating route runner of all the “burner” receivers.
he obviously isn't watching tape nor does he know what he has done in his last 11 games.
He's been near the top 10 in TD's in the NFL since entering the league and thats without ever going through a full training camp.
I wouldn’t cheer for him but I respect the hell out of him and his toughness in our matchups year after year. Definitely won’t be the same playing the Steelers without him.

Agreed there is absolutely a respect factor there. Not going to throw him a going away party but Im thankful for the intense rivalry we had with him on the field

Fuck no we better not, I dont wanna see “class” from our fans in this case, fuck Ben and the Steelers lol
I'm sure you didn't just realize now that Gumbel is a certified idiot. @rossihunter2 he would literally be certifiable in the UK, wouldn't he. I don't understand how Gumbel is still on television.

He hasn't even announced his retirement? Like if he does that before the end of the season, then MAYBE he gets something.
We're not going to give a standing ovation to an opposing player who hasn't announced his retirement.
He shouldnt even havr to watch tape.. it should be common sense.. i think like most analyst, he just says stuff for attention.. media isnt really about knowledge of the sport its about entertainment and views. 95% of the stuff they say is inaccurate
click bait
More of a tip of the cap thing to me. Rivalry won’t be the same without him for at least a little while.

Only if we beat their ass. Yeah, going to be weird going forward in the rivalry without him. Wonder if Steelers fans felt the same when Ray, Reed then Suggs left/retired.

Bart Scott's clown ass took it one step further. He said Hollywood wouldn't start on any team in the ENTIRE CONFERENCE. Clown talk by him. Just preposterous.
