Despite whatever turmoil might be overshadowing the football portions of the football team knowns as the Pittsburgh Steelers on any particular day, this is still a football organization, full of people with jobs to do. There aren’t many left in the building who have been doing their jobs with the Steelers long than has Kevin Colbert, currently the general manager of the team.
He along with pretty much everybody else in the organization has taken his fair share of criticism lately—and then some, I would argue—both for his actual job of building a roster and for referring to football players as “kids” even though pretty much everybody, including young players, use that term to refer to other players.
