-Ryan Clark

I would guess there are a lot of people holding stories for him.
He's 100% against owners in the fight for..what? The owners are fighting for social injustice, police brutality, and anything that hurts "his people"? WTF?
 
In a very inarticulate way I believe Clark was trying to say he almost always sides with players over management, but in this case he cannot because he has many examples he could give of AB not being a team guy. But he won't.
 
On a happier note, we din't get Blake Bortled out of the playoffs this year
 
Just about every local guy has blamed Bell for his holdout and AB for acting the way he has. The only national guy with insider knowledge of the organization also puts the blame on AB.

Every national guy who doesn't watch Pittsburgh, listen to weekly radio shows, read articles, or have any knowledge of the locker room blames Tomlin, Ben, and the organization and puts zero accountability on Bell or AB. I just listened to one guy say Ben is always calling his teammates out and never takes accountability for things like Brees, Brady, and Manning.
 
I wouldn't say that Tomlin isn't a hard ***. He has a problem when a star causes trouble. He has different rules for different players. Has stated so himself.

You mean you think it's the stars he has difficulty with? Because Holmes was dealt with pretty swiftly. Le'Veon, I think that was his boy though. AB, I have no read on that one. Except that the guy may be bonkers. But my Lord, he is the best at what he does. That one-handed catch (where his other arm was getting held) where he was just out of the EZ by a hair was jaw-dropping.

Your last sentence, it's crazy the narrative they're building about Ben throwing guys under the bus. Ben has his warts, but he always takes the brunt of the blame (whether it's justified or not). Yeah he finally called a couple guys out, but it sure seemed to help James Washington (as he even alluded to) -- they're making a mountain out of a molehill though but it's getting reaction and they're getting the attention they crave.
 
It is Ben's job to call these ******* out when he sees something that needs improving, that is how you lead.

These young sensitive punks now refuse to be given constructive criticism.

And then you have these asshats that want Ben to be a leader and the minute he is a leader he is throwing them under the bus.

******* ridiculous.
