Bill Cowher joined Ben Roethlisberger as a special guest on Roethlisberger’s Footbahlin podcast Monday evening. Most of the episode was filled with memories and laughs about their time together, one Hall of Famer sitting down with a future one, but the mood got somber for one moment. Roethlisberger asked Cowher about Roethlisberger’s 2006 motorcycle that nearly killed him and Cowher’s recollection of those moments of what he told him when he saw Roethlisberger in the ICU.
“I think I just said, ‘You’re gonna be okay. We’re gonna take care of you.’ And then I remember walking away saying, ‘All right, I’m gonna yell at him,” Cowher told the show, that last sentence ending with a laugh.
