In their quest to cover every aspect of the Antonio Brown trade saga, the national media devoted a considerable amount of time discussing the receivers issues with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. A litany of complaints that included claims that Big Ben would not workout with him during the offseason or invite him to his house.
On Wednesday, Roethlisberger hosted several of his offensive teammates on to trip to his lake house in Georgia, and to the surprise of no one, the story went largely unreported by the national press. Well, apart from an attempt by Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk to spin it as “a late-career effort to bond with his fellow Steelers”.
