With the Steelers engaged in an odd game of semantics regarding whether quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s sprain of the AC joint constitutes a separation of the shoulder (technically, it does), coach Mike Tomlin has issued an open call for information regarding the source of the NBC report characterizing the injury as a separated shoulder.

“I have no idea where that report came from,” Tomlin said on Tuesday. “It didn’t come from me or my medical staff. If anybody has any information in here about where that report came from, send them to me. . . . The guy has a sore shoulder.”

As it turns out, perhaps Tomlin should talk to Roethlisberger himself.

We’ve confirmed via review of the Sunday night broadcast and the strenuous application of elbow grease (e.g., answering the phone and/or opening our e-mail) that Roethlisberger himself told NBC personnel that he has a separated shoulder.

Maybe that’s why Roethlisberger behaved so bizarrely when asked point-blank questions about his shoulder after the game. Maybe he knew that he’d previously said too much, and that he was going to get himself in hot water with the head coach if he continued to run his mouth.

Then again, Big Ben has the ultimate cover for loose-lippedness. He can always blame his inability to control his tongue on the fact that little more than two years ago his tongue and the rest of his head slammed into a moving car.[/quote]

LOL, again with the lies and subterfuge regarding his injuries, unlike, say, the Patriots, where it's the coach that does the lying and Brady is smart enough not to talk about it.
Ben is mentally challenged.

[Go Tory Go!]

Now Tomlin's gonna have to hunt down the source of the rumor that was the source of the rumor that Ben was the source of the NBC report.
