There’s often a difference between the things a reporter will write, and the things a reporter will say.
When putting words on paper (real or electronic), there’s always a greater degree of care. When putting words into the ether, everyone (me included) is a little looser. It happens all the time.
The latest example of that dynamic comes from Mark Kaboly, who serves as the Steelers correspondent for The Pat McAfee Show. And the question is whether the Steelers are considering a potential trade of linebacker T.J. Watt, amid an ongoing contract dispute.
Here’s what Kaboly tweeted on Friday: "[T]here has been no inquires made to other teams about trading [Watt], according to sources.” In an appearance earlier in the day on 93.7 The Fan, however, Kaboly said something that seems contradictory on the face (even if it isn’t).
On the question of what the Steelers could get in trade for Watt (first-round pick, second-round pick, etc.), Kaboly said this of the Steelers: "[T]hey are obviously inquiring to see what that might be.” When co-host Andrew Fillipponi seemed alarmed by that claim, Kaboly said, “I’m sure that’s due diligence there at this point, right?”
