Steele, an EPSN anchor, sat down on former NFL quarter Jay Cutler’s Uncut podcast and the pair bumped into a topic of being leered at by athletes in post-game coverage, even going so far as to say she “didn’t care” about the inappropriate comments, simplifying their actions and them “being stupid guys in the locker room.” “I do think that as women we have to be respo...
