According to John Clayton, ben making progress .......

[Eastside Terp]

watching clayton now on espn and he says that ben is now throwing the ball and may be able to play ........

official statement is that he is 50-50 but clayton said don't be surprised if he plays ........

[tigercruise]

No surprise there. Wonder what happened to his "life threatening injury?" Guess it healed in three weeks huh?

[skeemer]

I'm hoping that a decision is made before Thursday afternoon whether he will start or not, because I need that to decide whether to take the Ravens in my pick em pool. I doubt we'll know though .

Take the Ravens either way. We're gonna eat their lunch.

[baltimoreron]

I hope he plays. He has said before that he hates playing here, and I'm going to do my part ensuring that he continues to feel that way. (12th man and all that.)

Exactly. His rib injury wasn't even listed on last week's injury report and appears to be another Roethlisberger fabrication.

Yeah I don't trust the Ravens with nearly $2100 on the line. The Ravens were my demise last year when it was down to about 5 people left. I'll take em with Ben out, but not with him.

This right here.

I'm sure Tomlin will keep it a guessing game for a while.

[Frank Costanza 831]

Yeah so that life threatening injury should be good to go about two weeks later. No wonder people call him a drama queen. Get ready to read 2,000 ESPN articles about his "tenacity" this week smh

And don't forget how *courageous* he will be portrayed this week. Hmm, I think I just threw up a little.

Yeah they ought to just give him a purple heart

[Eastside Terp]

clayton was backing off this tonight .........

didn't rule ben out but made it sound unlikely .......

i don't think he knows anymore than anyone else ......

[JohnnyUrulz]

Clayton said on 105.7 today that the steelers are saying 50/50. Clayton speculated more like 70/30 against Jen playing.

Home game, Ravens BIG.

Yeah he sat out two games to create drama. Good Lord.

Yeah he played this up to get attention as of course he rarely does.

You people and your inferiority complex about the media are comical.

The Steelers always have and always will be featured in the media.

Really? You aren't that old are you? "Always have" The Piss Stains were ignored prior to them coming alive because they sucked so bad. Long time ago, yes but the "always have" statement is just stupid.

Laughing. The Steelers were part of the original NFL and are one of the foundation franchises.

Since the merger, they have the best winning record in the NFL. You can grind your teeth and try and diminish their success.

Jealousy and envy won't cut it.

No **** Sherlock, EXACTLY my point, the sucked their first 40 years and were IGNORED by the media. You're the dummy that said "Always have" and prior to the early 70's they were the "never were".


YOUR QUOTE, not mine. Sorry, you lie once again, they blew.

Here, I'll help you out Cletus, from the NFL itself. Struggled BTW is polite for being ****.

The Steelers struggled for their first 40 years without winning a championship of any kind until they won the AFC Central division title in 1972.
