As many fans are well aware, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens’ antics both during and after the team’s Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns left much to be desired. Pickens has found himself embroiled in drama throughout the 2024 season, and it appears his recent Week 12 behavior, along with his postgame comments blaming the weather for the loss, was enough to draw the attention of ESPN.
On a recent episode of ESPN’s First Take, host Molly Qerim posed a question that has been on the minds of Steelers fans: “Do the Steelers have a George Pickens problem?” ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith responded, stating that while he didn’t believe Pickens was a problem for the organization, he felt Pickens was wrong to make excuses for his team’s Week 12 performance: “You’re a Pittsburgh Steeler. I’ve never heard a Pittsburgh Steeler in my life complain about inclement weather.”
Smith is correct in his assessment, and the Pittsburgh Steelers could do without one of their star players drawing attention to themselves for all the wrong reasons.
