89 on The Pivot

[Proudiddy]

Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.

I have so many issues with this interview. He professes his innocence in fights as if he was simply stepping up against opposition and not taking cheap shots.

What about Ken Lucas, Steve? Swinging on a man taking a knee and not even looking your direction and you fracture his eye socket and buy him Dunkin donuts as an apology. Go fug yourself with your self-righteous bullshit.

He was a great player but he is an awful person. And he can lie to himself all he wants but when you carry yourself in public, on the field, and in your marriage this way? You aren't a good father either. Men lead by example and his example is dog poo.

Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy.

Wtf are you even talking about? So because I don't buy his bullshit and am calling him on it, I must be a horrible person?

Again, Steve is entertaining, and I pray he finds peace and healing, but after watching that whole interview, I am concerned his story will not have a happy ending.  He is not well.

 

I got this same feeling. His body language and his face didn't say happy, even when he was trying to smile and joke around.

nah, that's basically saying people can't call a spade a spade.  Which is crazy.  89 is not a good dude.  He might have done a couple good things but it will never erase what he has proven to be in front of the world. 

I tell my kid all the time not to view celebrity athletes as anything but people that play a sport well.  Lot of garbage humans play on Sunday.   And you have no clue who the good guys actually are.  PR in today's world is also powerful.  There was a window when Deshawn Watson checked every good guy box that could ever existed from the public's perspective.

Yeah they had some great topics and questions for him to address, but every one of them just let Steve say what he wanted to, even if it made zero sense. No follow-up. No contradiction. Nothing. Made for a frustrating watch. And unfortunately for them, if they don't condemn his actions, it makes them look indifferent to them, or even supportive in some instances. Not a good look.
