Cheers to Ron Cook, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, for calling out Ben Rothlisberger this morning on Ben’s one-sided feud with Ken Wisenhunt.
“It’s a crying shame Roethlisberger didn’t see Whisenhunt before the game. There was a love-fest when Whisenhunt came onto the field; maybe two-dozen Steelers rushed over to hug him. It’s hard to believe it was an accident that Big Ben wasn’t among them, especially after he didn’t have the class to go congratulate Whisenhunt after the win. “Hopefully, one day, we’ll talk,” Whisenhunt said.
It’s not like Whisenhunt lacked for people patting him on the back.His players were thrilled for him.
“We all really wanted to win this game,” Fitzgerald said. “We’ve had it circled since the schedule came out.”
In a seperate Post-Gazette story Ed Bouchette writes about Ben’s mood after the game.
“This loss is on me,” said Roethlisberger, who acknowledged being emotional all week leading up to a game against Whisenhunt, his former offensive coordinator.
The Cardinals defense was all over Ben on Sunday, and although Roethlisberger was active in the pocket and made some good plays, the high road was clearly the better player on this day.
