    Ron Cook: A few things we wish Ben Roethlisberger would say Tuesday

    Ben Roethlisberger is expected to address Steelers fans through the media Tuesday after the first of the Steelers’ organized team activities. It will be his first public comments since he endured the most tumultuous personal offseason in franchise history.

    Roethlisberger was criticized by former teammates, former opponents and just about every national media personality with a microphone or laptop.

    For every Garth Brooks, who said, “I’m in love with Ben Roethlisberger … he’s my guy,” there were handfuls of Deion Sanders, who called Roethlisberger a bad teammate.

    For every Kevin Colbert, who said of the offseason controversy surrounding his quarterback, “It never changed our minds who he was, what he could do, who he is,” there were handfuls of Emmanuel Sanders, who questioned Roethlisberger’s leadership. One accused him of fumbling intentionally to spite his offensive coordinator. Another went way out of bounds and unconscionably called him a racist.

    Roethlisberger’s response could be priceless. But it won’t be.

    I see Roethlisberger taking the high road. I’m guessing he briefly will respond to the fumbling accusation and the racist charge by saying: “It’s nonsense. Anybody who knows me knows that I’ll cut your heart out to beat you. Anybody who knows me knows I don’t care if a guy is white, black, yellow, green, purple or fuchsia as long as he helps the team win.”

    But other than that?

    There’s no way Roethlisberger will get into a hissing contest with a couple of snakes, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell, who went after him hard.

    “I loved those guys as teammates,” Roethlisberger probably will say. “I’m putting all that stuff behind me. It’s going to make me a better person. It’s going to make our team better. We’re closer than we’ve ever been.”

    It will be nice if Roethlisberger’s veteran teammates — Maurkice Pouncey, Cam Heyward, Joe Haden, Ramon Foster, among others — stand behind him in a show of support for him and his new two-year, $68 million contract extension.

    “I’ve said all along I only want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler,” Roethlisberger will say one more time.

    At least that’s what I expect him to say. Here’s what I wish he would say:

    Yep - this interview format provides too much structure as opposed to the Tuesday morning ramblings. Probably will give us boring Game Manager Ben rather than the gunslinging drama of Tuesday morning Radio Ben

    Rather than a canned interview Ben taking on anyone who has a question in a media scrum would be much more entertaining

    I'm all for being professional...but at this point...you know what....I wouldn't mind Ben going at ABs neck. Call him out, call him sensitive, call him a selfish diva who only cares about numbers. **** it. Go hard on this piece of

    I think AB will be more focused on the Steelers this year than on the Raiders...

    No? Still nothing other than hearsay?

    Someone made that up and everyone else continues to believe it. There is something genuinely sad about that.

    But yeah, go on believing it since it gives more imaginary ammo to spew junk further. Why stop spreading imaginary tales now? If you keep doing it, why, people might actually believe it is true.

    And yes, AB acted like a douche. But to believe that team MVP had anything whatsoever to do with it is embarrassing.

    But then how would everyone on social media and the internet know about his strong stance on these critical issues? I mean if you don't Tweet about and then copy and paste that Tweet into as many other places as possible, no one will know how much of knower of important things you are!

    I kinda wish the internet would just burn to slag. Like I might be willing to trade going back to a phone book and a landline for doing everything.

    Does anyone have any substantial proof that AB is an actual douche bag or is it just internet rumor?

    I do not know if AB is jealous of JuJu or not, but his comments on him in April were very low.

    It was not the only excuse AB was using for being dissatisfied with the Steelers, but in addition to the always popular anonymous sources saying he was not happy about JuJu getting MVP, AB engaged in this typically childish act

    Brown displayed his pettiness by showing a list of recent team MVP awards that conveniently did not include JuJu's name.

    https://247sports.com/nfl/pittsburgh...VP--129064796/

    I would find it difficult to believe a rational adult would be upset about something as trivial as who was voted team MVP, which I doubt would trigger a bonus clause in a contract. But I have no difficulty believing it would upset Antonio Brown.

    Social media is apparently our penance for all the other great things the Internet represents and provides, unfortunately.

    The Internet can stay, but Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., etc. can all go die in a fire.

    Also, one of the big reasons that Brown was unhappy was his contract, even though he was the highest paid WR by the time he signed his contract in 2017.

    Brown did everything possible to leave Pittsburgh because he knew the steelers were not going to give a raise to him

    Of course, there are other reasons and being jealous of JuJu is perhaps another reason ..... His ego is so big.

    Just watched the interview. I really do not like the approach Ben took. I get what he was going for, but you know what, unless Ben really was acting shady and doing the things that AB claimed....Ben shouldn't tuck his head an accept responsibility. Especially not making comments like AB made him who he is....you kidding me with that?

    Just to be clear,Ben meant who he is as player, not as person.

    I disagree with that too, but I understand why he said that ... Ben wanted to say nothing controversial ...
