Context Is Key In Kevin Colbert’s ‘Kids’ Remark

So, kids, it sounds like the broader sports media is begging us to weigh in on the latest manufactured drama. I’ve volunteered to take on that task myself. During a pool report with local media members on Wednesday, Pittsburgh Steelers General Manager Kevin Colbert was asked about quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s occasionally critical pubic comments about his teammates, and if he was okay with that.

Within his answer, Colbert referred to the rest of the Steelers roster as “kids” in comparison, who will turn 37 in a couple of weeks and is nearly four years older than the next-oldest player on the roster, that being Ramon Foster, who is also the second-longest tenured.
