I was watching the NBC SNF pregame, and I just heard an interview Bob Costas did of Hines Ward.
Ward took a shot at Roethlisberger and the team. Costas asked him about how the players in the locker room felt, and Ward basically phrased the answer in a certain way that said he (and some teammates, supposedly) question Roethlisberger's toughness.
Ward said he's played through stuff all the time when dinged up, and he didn't really want to concede that a concussion is any different than a strained hamstring or something.
Very, very surprising, and pretty damn stupid, too. Even if you feel your quarterback is a sissy or something (which is unfair, considering what the team has accomplished with Ben at QB), you don't tell that to the media. This is an interview that's going to get played on national TV.
