Roethlisberger works to rebuild trust

Re: Roethlisberger works to rebuild trust

When Jerome Bettis' father died, Ben chartered a plan from training camp to fly teammates to the funeral. He also did that for his college teammates when their Coach Terry Hoeppner died as well.

He's not the bad guy people make him out to be.

Never has been. However, he has made some mistakes and has paid for them. Time for everyone to move on.

Fixed it for you. You're welcome

Re: Roethlisberger works to rebuild trust

Btw, if the rumors about Hines ever see the light of day? I anxiously await how many people posting on this board will comment on it especially if one in particular is ever made public.

Rod Woodson cheated on his wife too.......No one remembers that when talking the HOF.

Re: Roethlisberger works to rebuild trust

Everyone makes mistakes. He paid for them not because he was guilty, but because he's a white franchise QB with two rings.

He also had multiple arrests, and called the city racist.

And yet even he judges Ben.

Hope the windows in his glass house are clean.

Re: Roethlisberger works to rebuild trust

All I know is if some fool was selling Ben's jersey's for $10 a piece around here, I'd have gotten at least 10 of them. Lot's of Steelers fans in my family!!

BTW- just reading the posts above, I'm far more inclined to take Crash's side. Just sayin...

That's your perogative, was your old board name Big Nasty by any chance?

I don't know who Big Nasty is, but I do know that Ben is one of my favorite Steelers players. My daughter has his jersey and my wife has payed mightily for my Lambert and Polamalu jersey's as gifts. Not one of us has a problem with Ben and would have been proud to wear his jersey- especially here in Bengal country!

Have you ever said anything bad about Ben?

Yes. I have.

Hines Ward gets the biggest free pass of all time.

NOBODY bashes Ward despite his mouth.

The way fans treat Ben as far as on the field and off you would think he's Cliff Stoudt.

ahh, the elusive Hines rumors that "if they ever become public."

I've been hearing this story for 5-6 years now.

I think it's safe to say it's a delusion or a dream, not credible rumors.

and he has only himself to blame for his actions. I know you like to think all the rumors are false but when there is that much smoke, the fire isn't far behind.

Spare me your gibberish. Bottom line that in his early days as a Steeler Rod Woodson was a thug who got in numerous scrapes with the law, he also plead guilty to crimes.

Then when he left he claimed the city was racist.

Don't blame me, blame him.

White people need their own Jesse Jackson. You can't punish black people in this country or they cry, kick, and scream racism.

Heck, we even have to make up rules to interview them, hiring quotas, etc. even if they aren't qualified. Take a civil service test, check the "I'm a black man" box and you instantly gain 10pts, not that black people strive to be civil servants. It's easier to sit back, complain and get government checks while dealing crack and knocking up baby mommas.

This might be the smartest thing you have ever said. What a country! Perhaps Obama the idiot can dish out more handouts so they can be misused by the rich and never reach the people that are actually in need. The middle class is disappearing. You either stop on or over the bottom feeders or become one.

Hey, have you heard? The economy has turned the corner.

Re: Roethlisberger works to rebuild trust

I sure hope there wasn't anything really worthwhile buried in this thread, because after I saw it was another Crash-43 mutual master baiting society meeting, I skipped through 5 pages.

What a waste of time and effort. If I were looking to join a Steeler board about now, this thread would do a lot to scare me off.
