Bradshaw does an about face; would like to help Big Ben

We had the video here on the site today from Terry Bradshaw saying that he and current Steeler QB Ben Roethlisberger are not exactly on each others Christmas cards lists these days. The 3:30 video is pretty straight forward about Bradshaw’s feelings about the QB, and what he has been accused of doing not once, but twice.

Now though, there seems to be some sort of change of heart for Bradshaw, as he’s quoted in the Tribune-Review as saying he would like to help out Roethlisberger:

“I would like for nothing better than for him to reach out to me, because I think it’s bull there’s this tension between me and him that shouldn’t be there,” Bradshaw told the Tribune-Review today in a phone interview. “I think he could care less what I think. If he would want to (talk) I would be more than glad to do it. My read on him and my feedback from friends, it ain’t going to happen.”

Bradshaw said Monday at a charity golf outing at Louisiana Tech, his alma mater, that Roethlisberger is jeopardizing his career with reckless behavior.

Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault twice since July.

He met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday, a day after learning that he won’t be charged after a 20-year-old college student accused him of sexual assault March 5 in Milledgeville, Ga.

Bradshaw reiterated that Roethlisberger, who worked out at the Steelers’ practice facility today, is jeopardizing his career with reckless behavior.

“My honesty says this: clean your act up,” said Bradshaw, the iconic quarterback who led the Steelers to four Super Bowl titles in the 1970s. “You are about to (throw) away a career. If you need help, the Rooneys will get you help. If you need to fire the bodyguards, then you have get get rid of them. Build a wall around yourself. Dedicate yourself to your career. He’s on the right path of being one of the greatest that ever played and now he’s dragging baggage with him.”
