ESPN Crew calling Big Ben a Diva this morning. Makes up injuries to be center of attention.
Edited on Sun Feb-01-09 10:56 AM by Avalux
Stave Young said it - that Ben always seems to be injured; insinuating the injuries aren't real. One of the other guys agreed then another asked Steve to clarify if he really thinks Ben makes shit up. Steve squirmed and backtracked a little but not really.

I really can't stand Steve Young. Asshole when he played and still an asshole.

1. At times I thought it could be an act
you know, 'he's hurt, no way he can make any big plays'.

During one of the playoff games though, he was out of sight hiding behind a wall getting an injury looked at. He was nailed in the back

2. He's been sacked more than any other quarterback in the NFL.
At times the OL was weak; mostly because he moves around so much. I doubt he's been faking. Young was a huge baby when he played; I think he's jealous.

5. Could be - if it works it works.
This is the guy whose head went through a windshield without a helmet. No doubt he's tough. :hi:

4. Steve Young was a great player
but he's also become a fine commentator. That's not the first time that's been said about Roethlisberger..he's listed as doubtful virtually every week.

6. Can't stand the guy.

Yeah he was a great quarterback; no denying skill. However his self-righteous attitude which has carried over into his commentating really stinks. He said Ben fakes injuries which is not true.

8. At least he could throw the ball more than
10 yards down the field...unlike a certain current Dolphin QB. Young won himself a Super Bowl too, unlike a certian former Dolphin QB.

9. Not knocking Young's greatness...
Just knocking his face lift and how he is getting on Ben for his injuries when he was injured quite a bit in his career.

Now switch back to Cboy.

10. I was just watching Steve
on ESPN...I don't see anything wrong with his face. In fact, I must say, he still has that self assured Hall of Fame look about him...without any evidence of a face lift.

12. Steve Young should know a lot about one of Ben's injuries: concussions.
Wasn't that what essentially ended his career?
