Toxic lockerroom players speak

You think many players will go on the record saying the culture in the locker room is worse than college?  You think a player will attatch his name to reporting that his DC calls him a f#!kin idiot?

Fwiw, Elise Jesse has worked with the Bengals in a multitude of ways.  She was a sports reporter at WLWT.  She did the Sunday night late show (Sports Rock?) where they'd have various local athletes and personalities on.  She also did some of those things for the team where they interview fans at a restaraunt/bar before the preseason games. (Don't know what it's called, but it's sponsored content, cheesy fan stuff.)

Most importantly, she's been a beat reporter for quite some time.  She's also currently doing work with James Rapien, who is another beat reporter.

She's not someone who's going to go out of her way to make up comments out of thin air.  It would be career suicide.  People in the building would know, and either limit her access or players would avoid her.  She can't just go around lying, and expect to continue in that field.

And not for nothing, her husband is one of the best Strength Coaches in the entire country.  Highly unlikely someone who is so close to the business would be as reckless as to attribue quotes to players in a locker room, that weren't actually said.

But to each their own, you can believe it's all bs if you like.  More power to you.
