Pittsburgh Steelers General Manager Kevin Colbert somehow managed to get himself publicly excoriated recently after he referred to the team’s roster outside of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger—the oldest and most experienced player, and the only one with Super Bowl rings—as kids.
A myriad of commentators, qualified or otherwise, came out of the woodwork to express their outrage, and there was even an indications from Aditi Kinkhabwala, whether true or not, that perhaps some veterans on the team were not thrilled with that remark.
Even though Colbert clarified his remarks yesterday, we can frankly go back to his comments on Wednesday to testify that he doesn’t believe everybody outside of Roethlisberger on the roster is qualified to be taken seriously.
