Ben attacked verbally by Joey Porter Sr. Where is Coryea?

I just hope and pray all this mudslinging by Porter doesn’t negatively affect Ben next year when he’s eligible for the HOF.
He deserves to be a first ballot inductee but this bullshit doesn’t help his cause.
Hay Joey, everytime you gaze at that huge ring on your finger, please remember who was a key figure for getting you that ring.

Dorin Dickerson said the biggest myth in pro sports is thinking that everyone likes everyone on a team, he said that's not even close to true.

Makes sense, I don't get along with all of my co-workers, why should they be different? Jerry Rice loathed Deion Sanders when he was on the Niners.

I don’t believe Ben was ever a bad teammate but I do think it’s more to do with his off the field issues.
The motorcycle accident when he was cautioned that he shouldn’t be riding a motorcycle and had a lot to lose. Almost cost him his life.
The accusations from the woman in Vegas about Ben in the hotel room. Mind you, accusations only, never charged.
The Milledgeville, Ga incident in the bar with the girl and her accusations but he was never charged.
I think people tend to mix these things up with Ben being a bad teammate which is not correct.
He had a lot of friends on those teams and that doesn’t translate to being a bad teammate.

He's been called out by lots of people through the years. Dude was not a good person, even the people in his hometown said he was an A-hole. I saw it in person after one practice for SB43 with kids asking for autographs. I've told that story several times on here..in fact I wouldn't even call him an A-hole just from that experience of watching him verbally crush some poor kid, I'd call him a Grade A tool.

Having said that I hope he is being real when he says he lost his way and all the Jesus stuff...blah...blah and he's changed now. But those type people sometimes use religion for reputation repair and social positioning, so I don't know. All I would say is don't confuse the artist with the art. Jim Kelly could also throw a football for lots of yards, and was and is a well documented dik.

To break it down simply:
I love Big Ben the football player
I do not like Ben Roethlisberger the human being.
 
Ben might have been a troubled person as a young man. Many of us can probably relate because I know what I was like in my early 20's and I wasn't a good person. But as a person Ben has come a long, long way. I hold Big Ben in high regard.....he's a good father and family man. He's supported charities and provided police dogs to law enforcement. He made mistakes but has certainly come along long way and is a good person.

Joey Porter....lets not forget this guy is a loud mouth....yeah he was a Steeler but this guy was not liked throughout the NFL. I'm sure there's not a Bengal fan on this planet that would throw this guy a lifeline if his life depended on it.

He also back in 2008 in the off-season punched Levi Jones (Bengals OT) in the face at a Las Vegas Casino in a completely unprovoked assault! Joey.....I loved you as a Steeler but keep your ******* mouth shut! DUMB ***!
 
Lost a lot of respect for Joey. Lost even more respect for Cam too. That was a complete set up by Cam to **** on Ben and James. He brought it up by asking what Joey thought about James and Ben talking about Tomlin. Ben never even said anything bad about Tomlin just that it was time for both sides to move on. If Cam or Joey have a problem with that then they need to seek counseling cause they’re obsessed with Tomlin to the point of it being really weird. Never have I seen players gatekeep a coach like this.. very odd.
