WTF was up with Ben after the game?

I'm paraphrasing, but it went like this:

Kramer: Your shoulder looked great - how's it feeling?
Roethlisberger: The OL did an incredible job tonight. I have to give them a lot of credit.
Kramer: Did your shoulder give you any trouble tonight?
Roethlisberger: Willie had a great game and when he's running well, the team does well.
Kramer: OK, I'll try once more how is your shoulder feeling?
Roethlisberger: Thanks! The team is in there waiting for me, so I have to go.

Listen you closet Philly fan faggot, that's no cause to call him a "tool". He is a very good human being and he's went through a lot of shit while he's been here. Oh, and he brought us a fucking Super Bowl win. Now go suck off McNabb or something.

Your hurting my feelings. That makes me really sad. I dont know if I can handle the emotional burden I now have to carry. I may have to see a therapist because of your hurtful comments.

Ben needs to shut the fuck up about any injury he he has or does not have. Is that clear enough. That way he can avoid looking like a tool. When the media asks if you have an injury before the game you say no. Thats it.

Yeah, we all know that being Steelers fans, c'mon now. It's still alright to criticize the guy.

Personally, I think he does play up his injuries. I was thinking last night "How come it's Roethlisberger who is always giving his own injury report?" It really reminded me of the whole broken toes incident after the Pats loss in '04, when they never even confirmed that he had any broken toes, but he mentioned that to the media anyways. And then he tells the media he played with a separated shoulder last week, although no one with the Steelers even hinted at that over the course of this past week. I think he was embarrassed by it so that's why he avoided all the questions about it after the game, but I'm just speculating on that.

Why are you crucifying Ben for keeping his mouth shut? I grew up learning to fight and the LAST thing you did was to tell your weakness' . I figured growing up in Soprano country would have taught you to keep 'family' buisness to your selfes? I'm kidding, but I hope you understand.

Ben's a TEAM player in all aspects of the game, including what he should or should not say in an interview concerning his healt status. Lets give the whole league some insite as to what to target while playing us. LetMePlayWithMySelf is a tool and should shut HIS mouth, or what ever orphus he's talking out of.

Steel Dino

09-15-2008, 10:18 AM

Yeah.........I don't really understand his reaction to the questions.......

All he had to say was " the shoulder is fine Andrea" .....and then changed the subject.....

Now all he did was get the media, local and national, into a 20/20 kind of mode.....

Sorry Ben.....you just brought a boat load of attention to yourself......

Completely agree...

Maybe I'm partial because I'm a 1) Steeler fan and 2) Roethlisberger is my favorite current Steeler, but it's obvious that he didn't want to talk about his shoulder. The dumb snatch wants to keep bringing it up, then he is going to make her look stupid in the interview.

Well played.

Correct me if I'm wrong.....

But wasn't Ben the person who informed the Sunday Night Football crew that he had a seperation in his shoulder?

I was thinking it would have been hilarious if on the off-question when she asked about the wind he'd have said... "The wind... Hurts like hell."

My other concern is what we saw the fat ass Rogers try and to do.....if the other team knows you have an injury they are going to put a target on it.

Ben might of been "informed" that the current administration has the same policy on injuries as the previous administration.

I thought that WAS keeping his mouth shut about injuries?

Only thing that would have made it better would be something like "Zippy and the boys gave me great pit stops, put in a turn of wedge and a half-pound in the right front on the last one, and we were ready to go."

Ben's problem was what he said before the game, that the Browns used to target his owie. He was not going to give the Eagles the same benifit.

Bingo. Actually if it were Bwady/Belicheat, she wouldn't have even asked a 2nd or 3rd time, like the rest of the media phonies, she probably would've been too scared to call out the Mighty *Pats.

"The shoulder will be fine." - then say how great the OL and Willie played.

She asks again you say "The shoulder will be fine." - then tell them you were fortunate to win.

Repeat.

Obviously, he didn't want to talk about it. Kremer should have let it go after the second response by Ben.

What he did with Kremer was not the problem. Mentioning it before the game that was the real problem. Its like blood in the water.

Add "I tell you what" at the beginning of each of his answers and you would be quoting rather than paraphrasing.

I dont think Ben's shoulder is fine. He was able to zip some passes, but he seemed to be making a lot of uncomfortable faces all night. I wouldnt be surprised if he misses some games, but we will really need him against philly so hopefully im wrong.

By the end of the game he couldn't unsnap his chinstrap with his right hand.
You can thank our wonderful OL for getting out star QB injured in WEEK FING ONE.

Ben said what he wanted to and gave nobody from the other team any satisfaction nor did he give any team we play in the future any info. That's all....coachspeak, hockeyspeak type stuff.

or...

Ben has an ear.

Geez! Cant yinz find anything else to bitch about? We won a tough game in bad weather against an ancient foe that was determined as hell. How about a little positive stuff instead of nit picking everything Ben (or anyone else) says after the game, or before. Maybe he brought up the "separation" business to lull them into a false sense of security so he could get a few long bombs off without them expecting it? Or maybe not. Who cares. We won.

markymarc

09-15-2008, 03:40 PM

I dunno, I think the shoulder is worse than his throws would indicate. I happened to notice that other than throwing he did everything else left handed - pointing to the sky on the TD, unbuckling his chin straps, etc... I hope he's alright.

I think you might be right especially like you said since he was doing everything else left handed. Ben is a gamer though. Hopefully he will be alright.

She was trying to get Ben to call that Fat pig a Fat pig for the late hit. If he had said it hurt she would have tried to get Ben to Whine, he didn't bite

All I know is Ben is in a world of pain right now....after seeing those shots that big baby put on him last night..that dirty s.o.b.!

If we have to ever start Leftwich..(if he doesn't learn to put some touch on the ball) we are SCREWED...(plus Byron takes forever to release the ball,he has like a pitchers wind up)

if that happens its run,run,run,run,run,! then Play Action..........then throw deep!

Ben milks his injuries a little bit. Who knows when he's ever healthy or unhealthy. Can't say much about the faces he makes, if you get slammed by a 300+ pound lineman, you would be grimmacing too.

Before the game. The announcers said he was playing with a partially separated shoulder. How did they know that? He told them.

I get the distinct feeling that Ben might have mentioned his shoulder in confidence to someone and this is his polite way of telling that person to fuck off.

Also, I think all posts should be started with the phrase "I tell you what" from now on.

I took his demeanor as something is definitely wrong with the shoulder and he wanted to avoid it until what is wrong is for certain. Otherwise, he would've just said "nothing to worry about" and moved on. Pointless...

Agree.... I love Ben, but he's definitely a drama queen when it comes to his injuries. Every time he gets hits he makes faces or limping or holding his arm funny. It's just Ben, I assume he's totally fine and trying to get sympathy head.
