Didn't he get shot in the *** at a club in Denver? Guy probably should follow his own advice.

This is what part of the problem is with the negotiation of the Jr. contract.

I don't know why he's saying this now, today.
Yes, he's going about it in the wrong way.
But, from lots of accounts, he's not wrong.
And he's certainly not the first to say it, and it's come from different era players as well.
From Ben's own mouth the year they drafted Rudolph, too.

We have all done dumb crap in our lives. The motorcycle thing was dumb. The sex assaults if true were horrific. Then I guess Ben found Jesus. My guess is he hit an emotional bottom and sought answers. From all accounts he was a jerk early in his life but he seems to have turned things around. I surely cant cast a stone. My guess is those who were willing to forgive did so and those who couldn't get over him being a jag off for so long didn't. Once a jag off always a jag off to some.....guess that's how Joey feels. We all have our journeys
He clearly has improved his life. Im sure he struggles with ego every day. Dont we all?
Not me, I'm way too awesome for that!
It's nuts to think that JPJ will be making more over the first two years of his second contract than his pops made in his entire career. And that $47 million is dwarfed by the quarter of a billion that Ben got paid. Maybe that's why the old man is salty.
Don't make us add an N near the end of your moniker ....... Speedicu_t ..... Tusca ...loosa .....................lol
I don't ever recall being a big fan of Joey Porter ............ I prefer calm, quiet assasin approach or simple one liners........ like that ought to cool your azz off

Not surprising.
Joey with his pre game fistfights, assaulting off duty cops, Guy has never given a f***.
I wish he passed some of that dog onto Joey JR. Fear was always a constant with the Steeler defenses of old. We haven't had that since James, Troy even Ryan Clark struck fear into opposing teams. That Willis Mcgahee hit against the Ravens rewrote the NFL rulebook.

Offenses know where they are going so execution is key.....more cerebral I think. Defenses are more reactionary so having that guy who lights a fire under everyone's rear end I think can be helpful. Sure there is thinking on D but playing quick and reacting quick I think is more important. Thinking is slow. Emotions are explosive. I think we miss a guy like Peezy on this D. I love Watts intensity when he say sacks a guy....but id love for him to go apeshit in a huddle and stir the pot.

Joey, as well as others, said he was a bad teammate.
He/I'm NOT casting aspersions on his current life, who he is in his personal life, his time post Steelers, his time as a family man, etc.
STRICTLY his tenure as a member of the Steelers as a player and QB1.
That's all.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Me personally?
My opinion was formed early when he was in high school, college, and his early Steelers tenure.
My personal experiences, as well as those from family and friends.
NONE of which have to do with his motorcycle accident and/or the sexual assault allegations.
I've never liked him, and probably never will. I've been very vocal on this messageboard in this regard.
God bless if he examined himself and turned over a new leaf.
But Joey's comments, as well as others, were about him being a bad teammate.
Other teammates love him.
EVERYONE'S entitled to their own opinion.
I don't begrudge anyone their opinion.
Salute.

Its hard to believe anything in the media you know but when there is an overriding theme out there and you constantly hear stories of people who knew him or had experein es with him saying he was a jag off then yeah he probably was a jag off. He seems to have become a better person but I hear you. No one ever said before he got married that he was one of the greatest persons you ever met or that he was as humble as you come that's for sure.
ultimately though all I ever really cared about was him winning. I think the only thing that really bugged me was that there was a narrative out there that he wasn't exactly the film junkie type and wasn't a student of the game and just liked to show up and playground it. Dont know if that was a valid argument or not but when he had a clunker of a game id wonder. Curious what anyone knew about his work ethic while he played
