You are so right! Never heard Big Ben use any of these phrases in prior discussions. Actions do have consequences... I guess someone must have told Big Ben to backtrack as quickly as possible. As a long-time Steeler fan (50 years), I am done with this team and I never thought I would say that ever.
I know that what I would spend on Steeler gear each year will go to other groups I can support and for people like “Big Ben” what I spend is just a small drop in the bucket. No more!
As a lifelong Cowboy fan, the Steelers are not my favorite team, but I always respected their “blue-collar” fan base reputation.
I hope their fan base understands the slap in the face their team did to them yesterday.
