Ben Roethlisberger is taking the wrong approach to this.
The Steelers quarterback did his best to make it appear as if the NFL Season Kickoff should be postponed because of Tom Brady’s impending four game suspension.
“He’s a guy, I’ve said for a long time, he’s the best in the business, and he proved it again last year winning his fourth [Super Bowl],” Roethlisberger said via ESPN. “If he’s not out there, it’s not the same. I have a lot of respect for him on the football field and some of the unbelievable things that he’s done. I guess we’ll wait and see what’s finally going to happen.”
Ben should roll with the punches, steal that opening victory, and reminisce with Brady during their playoff matchup.
Judging from his OTA photos, Ben should worry about getting in shape.
