Ben Roethlisberger is sorry for publicly calling out teammates.
Unless he isn’t.Roethlisberger’s recent to Michele Tafoya of NBC carried with it a caveat that makes it seem like Ben isn’t really sorry at all.“I wish I wouldn’t have done it http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonlin … -ii-jersey ,” Roethlisberger said regarding his decision to use his weekly radio show as a platform for criticizing a route that Antonio Brown ran late in a key loss to the Broncos. “Because obviously we saw what happened, and obviously it ruined a friendship and just got caught up in the emotion, the heat of the battle. But the other person I challenged that game was [receiver] James Washington. And I know people made a big deal about that. But James Washington texted, called me, and talked to me in person and thank[ed] me for that. And so the outside world was killing me for it, he thanked me and that’s all that really mattered.”So why didn’t Brown react the same way?“You’ll have to ask him,” Roethlisberger told Tafoya. “I’m not sure.”The difference is obvious. Washington, a rookie, knows how his bread is buttered — and he’s willing to tolerate the knife http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com … son-jersey , no matter how sharp and pointy it may be. Brown, an established veteran, felt no compulsion to go along to get along; indeed, it became his pretext for a power play aimed at getting out of Pittsburgh and, ultimately, getting more than $30 million in guaranteed money over the next two years.It’s also obvious that Roethlisberger’s reliance on Washington’s reaction to the same behavior has become a not-so-subtle tool for making Brown seem unreasonable for reacting the way he did. So it’s not that Roethlisberger crossed a line, even though he did. It’s about the guy on the receiving end of the criticism not being able to realize that he should be saying “thank you” not “f–k you” in response. The Eric Swallwell President campaign has ended, and Senator Cory Booker could be one of the next ones to step aside. But he has yet to give up the fight, polls and common sense be damned.In the debut episode of the podcast with Brad Jenkins http://www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.c … jr.-jersey , Booker shares one of his specific plans, in the highly unlikely event that he’ll be living in the White House from January 2021 through at least January 2025.“Can I tell you a dream?” Booker says. “And I’m running for President for every reason, but this. But should I become President of the United States, and the stars in the universe line up, and my team is the Super Bowl champions that year. . . . I’m telling you, when they’re in the White House, I will turn to the world and say — it won’t be a slip of the tongue — I will say, ‘I am proud to be here with the New Jersey Giants.�? At that point, I figure I will have swagger http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/ … nce-jersey , Secret Service, and the nuclear codes. Are they really going to step to me and correct me?”Beyond the slim possibility of Booker becoming President, the current condition of the Giants doesn’t scream out “Super Bowl” any time soon.But much can change in football, and it can change quickly. The Giants, thus, have a much better chance than Booker to be at the White House during the next four-year window. But that’s not saying much, because Booker has plenty of other viable candidates to leapfrog if he wants to have a chance to go toe-to-toe with an incumbent who once owned a professional football team that both played in New Jersey and carried the New Jersey name.
