Word on the street is that the Steelers' locker room ain't the happy place it should be at this point. Some of the veterans seem to think Big Ben is getting a little too big for his britches.

Guess who the backup QB for the Ravens is??

Hee hee hee!

[Petronski]

He's 12-0, a Pro Bowl alternate, Dapper Dan Man of the Year, a David Letterman guest, Big Ben, with sandwiches and untold babies named after him. He hasn't lost in the past 25 games, going back to his days at Miami (Ohio), as a starter.

It's tough to believe the kid is too big for his britches. It ain't braggin' if he can do it. It's also tough to believe there could be much resentment for 13 and 1.

Roethlisberger really hasn't been all that impressive if you look at his numbers. He's more Mike Kruczek than Terry Bradshaw. He benefits from having a tremendous OL (and the resulting running game) and, ironically, from being a little hesitant. He takes sacks at times when Stewart would have tried to force a play and fumbled or thrown a pick. The main reason the Squealers have been so good, their D, has been overlooked.

Luke McCown is going to be a better NFL quarterback than Roethlisberger, if the Browns ever get him a line (D'Brickshaw Ferguson....come on down).

Sounds a bit like disease that has infected the Dimocrats.

Those supposed rumored "unhappy" players wouldn't be suffering from the same thing, would they?

I mean ... I mean ... they are all team players, right?

That's BS. Ben gives more credit to his teammates than any other quarterback I've ever watched. You never get the feeling listening to this guy or the other offensive players that there is anything but mutual respect.

What street are you hanging out on in Pittsburgh, by the way?

You talking to "Jeb The Sweet-Faced Bum" down on Penn Avenue again?

I think them there Stillers are as happy as can be, seeing that I was down there yesterday with 'da boys. The only thing that p.o.'s them is that Myron still hasn't gotten his playoff voice back yet since his fall!

Don't get me wrong though, this is pro football, and all the players on the field are professionals, and the outcome of the game is far from decided.

*******

But there is absolutely no Steeler veteran discontent

..... that any of the good old boys wish, this Sunday, to vent!
