Ben's lucky to still be a Steeler after his off field issues. I'm still surprised to this day the Rooney's didn't trade him. Ben's always said the perfect things from day 1. But his actions haven't always backed up his words.
But none of this stuff is significant in the grand scheme. You have to be a little reckless/violent to make it in this crazy league. I don't expect a guy that gets paid to be a beast on the field to be a choirboy off it. The personality needed to be successful in this game works against someone off the field. It's just the nature of any competitive endeavor - sports, business, life.
The best CEOs in America are narcissists. Why should I expect our $100M QB to be any different. And the best narcissists always say the right things.sigpicComment

If anything this shows how soft the organization has become under II's leadership.
The Dan Rooney of 25 years ago would have told him: "You called my hometown, this fan base racist. Now you want to "retire" a Steeler? Hit the bricks"Comment

What?!?! A quarterback who supported an incoming offensive coordinator?!?!
You should tell Kordell that if he wants to be a team player and a leader, he should not support new coaches...he should whine in the media for a month because the new O.C. hasn't called him yet, then bitch&moan some more about how difficult it is to learn the new terminology while all of the other players gush about how much they like the new offense.Last edited by RuthlessBurgher; 05-31-2012, 01:34 PM.Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.
Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.
We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.
We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.Comment

No no, get it right, Kordell HELPED SHERMAN get the job.
Then when he failed, rather than accept blame, he threw Sherman under the bus and acted like he was force fed to him (Like Haley is to Ben btw).
Ben never whined about Haley not calling him. If anything Ben DEFENDED Haley because A) They weren't allowed to talk football and B) Haley was re-locating his family.
Ben was asked YESTERDAY who initiated the first contact (Haley called Ben btw), and rather than say he called me, Ben took the high road and claimed he "didn't remember because it was so long ago".
Ben hasn't bitched once. Don't cut Ben off at the knees to make Kordell look taller.Last edited by Crash; 05-31-2012, 02:10 PM.Comment

You would follow Ben into a bathroom stall. Ive never seen such a man crush in all my life. You speak of Ben like you know him and defend him like he pays you. He's just a man who plays ball really well. Kordell was an imperfect QB, but an excellent athlete. If Kordell could have embraced the slash role the Steelers may have won another 1 or 2 SB's. But, he didnt and we didnt. Life is moving on however and now we have Ben who has helped bring us two more SB's.
Ben is way better than Kordell at the QB pos. so I dont think you'll get an arguement there. Just let Slash have one more day. You'll love yourself in the morning.2019 Mock

Slash deserves nothing. If Art II had any balls he would have told him to vamoose and brought up the fact that he called the city racist.Comment

IMO the high road is CALLING the freaking OC and initiating first contact.Steelers 27

Kordell is a former employee who asked a favor of the organization...
Ummm...Art II took the high road...
Truly taking the high road is being kind when you have nothing to gain...in that respect, Ben didn't take the high road, he just decided not to make waves in his workplace...Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.Comment
