What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Yes, we've reached that point in the show, 1230, where it's time for The Limitless Express, starring our friend and yours, Austin Bechtold. I love you. They call them trolls or whatever. People that just sit behind a computer in their mom's basement. You idiot. It was a joke. Hold on. Let me put my wooden teeth in so you can understand me better. Okay. and we're sitting here again we're sitting here again talking about the same thing now you're insulting my intelligence now i'm insulting your integrity that's in crinkly land here we go limits well joe let's dive into these comments that were made by joey porter senior on kim hayward's not just football podcast we'll give you a snippet of it that is suitable for air he brought the
brotherhood then seven definitely broke the brotherhood because like the seven did that we don't talk about i know it's crazy out of anybody should talk he should never grab a microphone and really talk stiller business yeah because if we talking stiller business yeah his ass is foul of all foul won a super bowl woody but the person He's just not a good teammate. Like, he knows that. Anybody in the Stiller building knows that. But we protected him because I've only won one Super Bowl, and that was my quarterback. So do I love my quarterback? Yeah. But is he a good person? No. All right. Well, a lot of things there. Number one, what exactly makes a good teammate? That's what I've been thinking about with this.
Everybody knows that Ben wasn't the friendliest guy early in his career. Or really a good guy.
What did Joey Porter Sr. say about Ben Roethlisberger?
I even think he would probably admit that. But if I'm looking at a teammate, especially a quarterback... I want a guy who's willing to sacrifice his body to the cause, who's willing to play hurt, things like that, and who's good. That always helps. Ben was all of that. He was as tough a quarterback as I've ever seen in my life. That's a good teammate. To me, that's... prerequisite number one is you have to be willing to sacrifice to the cause as far as did he sign autographs for people in his rookie year like autograph things for the vets to take home to their families like joey porter said he didn't who the hell cares there's probably reasons they never voted him as mvp or what was he once the mvp and and and porter said he didn't vote for him as a captain
Whatever. All right. Maybe he wasn't a likable guy. Maybe he wasn't beloved. He wasn't one of those beloved players in the locker room. Who cares? We're talking leadership. Give me a guy who's willing to go out there on one leg like he did in San Francisco that night. I didn't think Mike Tomlin should have played him that night, but he did. And he was always a willing combatant who fought for his team. That to me is the most important. And this idea of this guy shouldn't be, Ben shouldn't be talking Steelers business. Why? He should be able to talk about and say anything he wants. Meanwhile, the irony here is that Joey Porter is talking stuff behind the scenes from Ben's career left and right in this interview with Cam.
So which is it? Are you allowed to talk about Steelers business or are you not? I would say you are. I'm glad he did. It's great for our business. And he didn't really say anything all that new. Plus, there were times that Joey Porter wasn't a great guy. I'm looking at the lead to a story from January 20, January 8th, 2017. Steelers outside linebackers coach Joey Porter was arrested Sunday night outside a Pittsburgh bar hours after a 30 to 12 wildcard win over the Dolphins. So maybe it's just one not that good guy to another. I don't know. But as far as the quarterback goes and as far as does Ben have a right to speak on Steelers' so-called business, you're damn right he does. And so does Joey. It's all good.
So there's an added wrinkle to this that Chris Carter of the Post-Gazette just put out on Twitter. Yeah. So there was a video of Porter on the Not Just Football podcast. discussing James Harrison and Ben Roethlisberger taking shots at Mike Tomlin. Yeah. And there are comments from former Steelers players on this post.
