Why do you think Cullen left?

This is a case of a journalist having a good professional relationship with a pro athlete and misconstruing the athlete being a professional in return as some sort of actual friendship

In five years, this is Yohe:

Article Title: Ron Cook: JuJu Smith-Schuster shines, but Steelers miss Martavis Bryan

http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/ron- ... 1710300072

I sat down late Sunday night and started writing about how much the Steelers missed Martavis Bryant against the Detroit Lions. JuJu Smith-Schuster then made the offensive play of the NFL’s half-season in their 20-15 win.

i sat down to grind an axe but the head broke off so i sharped the handle; closet full of other dull axes

BRoeth's play has dipped this year, it seems like Bryan't success is dependent on Roethlisberger being able to deliver passes accurately. Brown is great and can adjust to the ball in the air, win jump balls, and make plays after the catch. Smith-Schuster is looking like a playmaker too.

Ron Cook is just dumb.

I listened to about five minutes of DK interviewing Yohe regarding the Pirates; DK was filling in for Madden.

I gained no deeper knowledge about the Pirates, no new understanding could be extracted from their telling. There was no reason for them to tell me any of the things they said. This radio segment meant nothing….
I feel this way when I read your posts.
that's probably user error

I have decided that every time @slappybrown decides to bump a random thread from the annals of 5af that I am going to dig deep into this thread for a solid quote from someone dodinting about the sports media. This gem is from page 24

lol tops

This gentleman's official position is that he loves to engage in the discourse but does not wish to create additional new threads when perfectly fine existing threads are available.

Kicksavegate isn't really a big deal but the only thing that is a slight hindrance to me is not knowing who's quoted in posts like the above. I will survive

Little late on this, but one thing I gotta give DK credit for is basically having a very solid replacement for Kaboly in Dale Lolley seemingly lined up, in the wings. Was literally next man up. Murray hurt? Bring in Fleury. Romo hurt - in comes Dak.

Next man up.

Postby **Silentom** » Tue Oct 31, 2017 9:21 pm

Yeah, but what theme does he have lined up for next?

Postby **DigitalGypsy66** » Tue Oct 31, 2017 9:27 pm

I think that was because Kaboly actually have enough notice to line up an adequate replacement. Yohe emailed DK and his wife and a few minutes later announced he was at the Athletic.

Also helps that Kaboly is basically illiterate.

The man knows football though! #StickToFootballKaboly (actually, don’t even. Stick to... nothing)

Lolley is very much an upgrade, imo. Very good writer, but the bar was set pretty low over there for Steelers coverage.

Postby **Nittany Ned** » Wed Nov 01, 2017 7:05 pm

Honestly though, who needs DK or the Athletic when you have Steelers Depot? Crap layout, but it’s a free site with many write ups. Following Dave, Alex Kozora and Matthew Marczi on Twitter and reading some of their analysis here and there is just fine for me.

Pittsburgh Dad Jr. must be on vacation this week. I've listened to the Fan for two days in a row and it's instantly better than anything he's done.

Why, I don't follow this gentleman. I wonder who retweeted this onto my timeline

This excerpt alone on a prank Cullen’s boys wanted to pull on Sid Crosby & the #penguins is reason enough to read

I'd actually like to read that article. Anyone here help a brother out?

I sincerely hope the Cullen's don't have a pet rabbit.
