*Wipes tear from my eye*   Tell it like it is, Terry.

The greatest quarterback to ever wear the Black and Gold ripped his current counterpart a new one on Sunday’s NFL pregame show.  Saying Terry Bradshaw does not like Ben Roethlisberger is like saying there’s been a mild disagreement in the Middle East the past, oh, thousand years or so.  One thing you can’t accuse Terry of is being a johnny come lately.  He’s made his feelings clear on a number of occasions, first during an off-season charity golf event where he plainly stated, “Ben doesn’t like me and I’m learning not to like him.”  Last week, TB stated he “prayed” the Ginger Dictator would keep Ben’s suspension at six full games. Ouch.

The Blonde Bomber saved the best for last.  During his “Fired Up” commentary, Bradshaw just absolutely waylaid the disgraced quarterback.  It was an amazing piece of television if only because the NFL is always treated carefully by the media who are loathe to bring up player misdeeds.  The Steelers in particular get more reacharounds than any team, particularly by their local PR Staff reporters.  To see a national broadcaster single out a player and then bend him over like a drunk ho in a bathroom stall is not your everyday occurrence.

Clearly, the hostility Bradshaw has for Ben has not diminished during the recent campaign to paint him as a great guy who kisses babies and helps old ladies across the street.  The source of Terry’s hatred is pretty easy to understand. Ben was a jerk to him. Terry holds a grudge.  That tends to happen when you treat people like garbage.

Listening to sports talk radio last night was equally amusing.  Bradshaw gave his heart and soul to the Steelers.   Yet, when Turkey Jones of the Browns broke his collar bone, the Three Rivers faithful CHEERED their quarterback being injured.   Stay classy, Steeler Nation.  On the flip side, you have a guy like Big Ben, who hasn’t accomplished 1/10 of what Bradshaw did and yet a morally bankrupt segment of Steeler fans will stand by this punk no matter what vile acts he’s accused of.   Embarrassing.

TB isn’t bitter or jealous.  Expecting the quarterback of your old team to represent it well and to be at least something resembling a decent human being isn’t exactly a high standard.  He just has the guts to say it.  And for that I applaud him.

Terry Bradshaw was and always will be the greatest QB to ever play for the Steelers.  Always.  And while I’ll be extremely happy to see Ben behind center four weeks from now, he will never receive the level of respect myself and all true Steeler fans have for Mr. Bradshaw.  Thank you, Terry.

Terry Bradshaw, the greatest quarterback in Pittsburgh Steelers history, had some wise words of advice for their current signal-caller.  Yes, I used the words “Bradshaw” and “wise” in the same sentence.  If you’ve ever been lucky enough to hear Terry speak in public, he’s actually a pretty smart guy.   He just plays up the aw-shucks hick aspect of his personality for television.   And the four time Super Bowl champion has concluded the same thing I’ve been telling my loyal readers since I started this blog three years ago.

Ben Roethlisberger is a dick.

Terry shouldn’t feel like he’s being singled out.  Bill Cowher also told Ben not to ride his motorcycle.   Of course, Ben didn’t get along with Cowher, either.  And, yes, Bradshaw made his share of mistakes when he was here.  But nothing ever brought the Steelers anywhere near the level of disgrace that Pig Ben’s recent actions have.

How does Ben sleep at night?

Well, he had to get up early yesterday for his meeting with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.  A freshly-shaved and de-mulleted Roethlisberger arrived bright and early for his meeting with Herr Roger. The meeting lasted several hours and Ben’s only comment upon exiting was that the meeting was “very productive.”  I can only hope Goodell channeled Dean Wormer and told him “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”

Meanwhile, for those who didn’t heed my words a couple days ago when I said anybody who thinks the Milledgeville incident will be the last is sorely mistaken, a lawyer went on a radio talk show in Boston and revealed that he had been asked to look into a similar incident which occurred six months ago in Las Vegas.  While the lawyer quickly revised his comments to clarify he wasn’t accusing Ben of rape, he did say the incident involved a woman being invited to party with the drunken imbecile in a VIP area of a night club where she was subjected to “non-consensual sexual touching” by Mr. Rapistberger.  So either Ben has some serious self-control issues or he has absolutely no idea how to hit on a woman.

In any case, the city is rapidly turning against their disgusting quarterback.   Even his strongest supporters within the organization are cracking as current Steelers President Art Rooney II was described as “furious” after hearing the details of the Georgia incident.  Most tragically, our friends over at PLB Sports, maker of City of Champions Cereal, have invoked their morality clause in deciding to discontinue their line of Big Ben Beef Jerky.

When you’ve lost your beef jerky, you’ve truly lost it all.
