Bradshaw on Roethlisberger: "He doesn't like me, and I'm learning not to like him"

[ThreeSportStar80]

One of the greatests clutch time QBs of all time gives you advice and you ignore it... Yeah smart guy that Ben is.

 

[miamicowboy21]

Better question is does anybody like Ben.

Personally I could careless about him, but the guy has 2 rings and is a winner. In the end that's all people really care about.

 

[fannypack]

I can't believe that I have something in common with Roethlisberger, we both don't like Bradshaw.

Thought you were gonna say we both rape women..

Not all of us.

So I guess Tom Landry and by extension Jimmy Johnson is history? The current coaches don't need to respect the legacy of Landry and Jimmy? You know how silly or maybe even dumb that sounds? Roger Staubach is one of the biggest reasons that Cowboys became to known as America's team or has such a great history. I haven't even watched Roger live although I am old enough to have been ( I immigrated here so 90s team is what I am familiar with). But even I know, without Roger and them, Cowboys are not what they are.

Wether one likes him or not, Terry Bradshaw won 4 of the 6 SBs for Steelers. If you are an NFL player have a respect for the game, I would think you would also have respect for the past and the past great players. When one doesn't have that, it says a lot about the person too.

I dont know how dumb it sounds, youre just taking this too personal. Like it is sacrilege or something. That is silly.

Yes, Landry and Johnson are history. I get it you are fond of that history, all cowboys fans should be; but history is history.

Ware owes nothing to Charles. Barber owes nothing to smith. "big" ben owes nothing to Terry. Its not like these players were grandfathered in.

 

[JBS]

does anyone know the specifics to these allegations? I know the official wording was sexual assualt, did the alleged victim claim that she was actually raped? or sexually assaulted? My understanding, and I could be wrong, is that rape is sexual assault, but sexual assault is not always rape..maybe he groped her or something..I am not saying that if he didn't rape her than it is no big deal, but obviously rape is a much larger offense..does anyone know for certain?

I don't think I could disagree with this more. I've been in locker rooms where a past legend walks in and talks to you about tradition. It's powerful and it matters.

Even if it's from a sell-out like Bradshaw? Dude was in A Failure to Launch (a cheesy, cro-mance movie) for crying out loud.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

It really seems like, from all accounts, Roethlisberger is a dirt bag, if not a rapist.

Exactly

 

[CoCo]

After reading a recent interview in Sporting News with Bradshaw I think its pretty clear that he is bitter in regards to some of his past.

But that aside, I tend to listen to most of his takes on the NFL. I think he's generally pretty level headed.

He's likey on meds, unfortunantly Terry battles with some major depression issues behind the scenes in his regular life.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

I dont like either of them.

 

[SaltwaterServr]

Ben stood up a meeting with a Make-A-Wish child. That's all you really need to know about the *. The rape charges just reinforce the matter.

 

[jobberone]

yes, hes history. These new players owe nothing to the players that used to play their position. They will most likely be compared but they are different people and players.

And you'd be so wrong. Mantle owed Ruth. Jeter owes Mantle and Ruth. Aikman owed Staubach. And Romo owes Aikman and Staubach. The past is important to the present.

 

[Phoenix]

Does Bradshaw like anybody? That guy seems like one bitter man sometimes.

If he would like anyone, it would be the QB of the Steelers. The man speaks truth here.

You get excited because you see a sports hero, who wouldnt feel a bit nostaligic. But it doesnt make indebted to him, you dont owe him anything.

Put it on a level that is easier to understand. When you played say highschool football, i assume you played, did you feel like you owed it to last years starter? You only feel this way because these players are sports heroes to you.

If you come from a school with a prestigious history, then you do owe it to "last year starters" or any other player that took part in building of the reputation you now represent.

 

[RainMan]

This reminds me so much of the Pacman stuff. His defenders could say, well, he's never been convicted. Ben hasn't even been charged of these allegations.

But at some point, dumb is dumb. Roethlisberger is a two time Super Bowl champion who has been accused of sexual assault before, so he goes and diddles in a club bathroom. Does that make him a rapist? No. But a guy with a history and celebrity like him has to understand he's a target. It comes with the $100 million and fame.

He's constnsntly making bad decisions, be it on a bike or a girl. Time to behave like a world class quarterback and not a world class d-bag.
