Agreed, though he had worse issues than “normal” because he got himself into some legal issues (which weren’t really related to drug use all that much). However I’ll just say as far as a tragic drug addict story it has a lot of holes and should not be looked at in the same way as most of those stories.

Including using the drug use as an insult, because I don’t think it was a big enough of a deal to warrant what is usually meant as a heavy handed cut down.

Steve is a grifter and has no moral compass.

He was behind a lot of bad PR targeting Leach during the season then tried to make this health tragedy all about himself. He’s not a good guy. His website is a garbage dump with some real immoral people on staff.

Like Arnett and other MSU coaches weren’t contacting players from other teams on Monday and Tuesday this week. This is what the transfer portal has turned the CFB landscape into. Fair , unfair , right or wrong. It is what is.

If it’s true it’s unseemly but unfortunately that’s the landscape we’re operating in right now …

Stop defending Rosebowl. He deserves whatever gets thrown his way.

He's an absolutely shite person and I'm not even talking about his past drug issues. He's a complete attention whore. He used Leach's situation as a giant "look at how important I am moment" and is now back to his old ways of "how dare you do this to my Bulldogs. I'll make you pay!"

I honest to god believe either Mullenboys is an OM fan doing a perfect parody of Rosebowl or they're actually the same person.

We all knew there might be some low-lifes using Leach's death to try and flip players etc. Trust me, the names will get leaked, Steve does a great job getting to shite like this.



case in point.

Rosebowl knows MSU players will be transferring out. When that happens....he's going to start throwing out passive-aggressive tweets saying those were the ones he was talking about.

How about the daily threads calling for Leachs firing on genespage for years, that Steve supported ? His staff writers making jokes about Leachs health problems and ripping him for coughing ?

Now that Leach passes Rosey starts writing stories about “the pirate and me” making everything about himself. I’m sure Leach couldn’t stand these phonies.

Just really sick stuff

Genespage is a cancer

The people at genespage are almost as cultish as the Aggies. Their ring leader, Steve, purports hate and how miss state is the only clean program.


Steve also facilitates payment between handlers and under the table money.

So, I agree HJJ’s post was in poor taste. However back to Robertson though he hasn’t had a problem with drugs since he was basically a kid, maybe 18-20 year old range. The only reason his drug issues are known is because he himself amplifies them more than is necessary, imo to give him more of an identity (like an outcast, overcomer, etc). It’s pretty odd tbh. It’s hard to differentiate what he really is vs what he wants to create as a public characterization/persona. I’m very familiar with him and his story, and I’ve met him and heard him speak. I’m a former chronic alcoholic who nearly drank myself to death by the time I was 30, so I am well versed in navigating these communities. The main point I’d make regarding Steve is he has a pattern for amplifying and promoting shaky messages to be as controversial as he can frame it. I would also argue he subtly did that with many of the Mike Leach updates prior to the announcement of his death as well (many unnecessary remarks to make himself appear more valuable/connected than he is). Not like that is very different than most “journalists”, I just think he tries to straddle the fence between presenting himself as a down to earth regular guy when he’s just another grifter shock journalist


This is spot on and well-said. Steve is a piece of shite—and I’d say 70% of our fanbase agrees with that sentiment

Let’s not forget his solid staff like Robbie Faulk who constantly berated Leachs coughing as being on purpose to dodge his “tough questions” or when Leach was hospitalized with a respiratory infection and the slimey staff made jokes it was because he was “buzzed up”

Just some really heartless immoral,people

Steve was init for the extra clicks it would generate as the daily trashing and slandering of Leach went on for years.

Now they want to cash in on the national media attention and praise Leach after he’s passed away. Just turns my stomach

I’ve never seen a college fan site as trashy in my life as genespage

Tell me Steve’s a good guy without telling me he’s a good guy…

And let’s talk about OM reporters…

I don't care for Steve and think the tweet was dumb but this is a pretty dumb take if genuine. Being a drug addict doesn't mean one can't be a major contributor to society or have thoughts on morality.

He’s a grifter and not a good person. The shoddy debasement of Leach on his website for extra clicks and then the wholesale profiteering upon his passing are all the evidence you need.

It’s disgusting
