Official 2012-13 Pittsburgh Steelers Off-Season Thread

[MRandall25]

So Ryan Clark called steelers fans hypocrites on twitter for bashing ray Lewis being charged with obstruction of justice for basically covering up a murder when we have Ben. Possibly the dumbest tweet I've seen

I dunno. Maybe we need to hear his side of the story first :pop:

[Idoit40fans]

Wait, did he say that? Why is it dumb? Maybe for saying it about his fanbase, but not in a vacuum. Also he'll find work elsewhere, the Steelers need him more than he needs them at this point. Thats hard to believe.

[Troy Loney]

Yeah, unless he's willing to inform of us of any inside info he has, he just shouldn't say anything at all. I personally think it would be hypocritical to assume Roethlisberger is innocent and lewis guilty. But I certainly would never want to come off as defending Lewis cause I don't know what happened.

[SirMario66]

Here's the tweet: "It's sad that all the Steeler fans who get upset when people speak on Ben's situation continually bring up Ray Lewis' case. #glasshouse"

[joopen]

Yup, because Ray Lewis actually pled guilty to obstruction of justice (in a murder case no less). That's exactly the same as never being brought up on charges at all

I really wish college athletes would actually use the free education they received.

[Rylan]

All I see Clark saying is don't convict Ray Lewis of being a murderer and then defend staunchly that Ben is not a rapist. You can defend Ben, but don't go around blasting other players for past indiscretions. I can respect what he says.

They're both guilty of being pretty sketchy people, that's for sure.

At points in their past.

[SirMario66]

Mark madden just tweeted it, and I agree, the biggest issue is Clark brought up bens past for no reason except to defend ray Lewis. What a terrible teammate

[SirMario66]

And I think Clark's wrong, but I guess that's more of a matter of opinion

It was a pretty dumb *** move.

[Bioshock]

Yeah, i normally don't have an issue with this but to bring up a teammates past like that just to further your own argument is pretty bad.

[FreeCandy44]

Steelers twitter ban in 3.......2......1.........

[Idoit40fans]

I think he's right, but not sure why he said it. There was nothing to gain.

I agree with Idoit. He's not wrong, but when your teammate is the example that is

[SirMario66]

OK I can see what he's saying. It's like a ballpark thing. Hes Not saying its equal, just that they're similar (if accusations against Ben are true).

Still a bad move on RCs part

He was arrested for pulling a Wayne Brady...simple assault.

[MRandall25]

Did Chris Rainey have to choke a B?

[TPW]

At least we know Ziggy Hood will never get arrested for hitting anybody.

[DudeMan2766]

wow per Madden, Chris Rainey already released

[the wicked child]

So I'm guessing this wasn't just a push or something blown out of proportion....
