Former Steelers great Terry Bradshaw doesn’t think that a few months of good behavior should help Ben Roethlisberger get off the hook of a six-game suspension.

“Going to bars — treating women like that; oh my God,” Bradshaw said in comments to the Shreveport Times. “I

pray they don’t cut [his suspension] to four games. I hope they

leave it at six. There is no excuse for that. The egos get out of hand.”

We can assume Bradshaw doesn’t approve of Roethlisberger’s proposed reduction to three games, either. Big Ben wasn’t the only entitled athlete Bradshaw took aim at.

On Kendall Langford’s missing earring: “I hope they never find it — $50,000? Go tell that to

somebody that can’t pay for his kid’s education or can’t get them into a

hospital room and get them treated properly.”

On Rex Ryan: “He doesn’t play; easy for him to shoot his mouth. . . . Unfortunately, I don’t think his players are quite as

strong-minded as he is. He’s putting a lot of pressure on his young

quarterback.”

On big-time QBs: “Once they start becoming stars — Favre, Manning — it’s hard to get to

them. Before that you can get to them, but then they

are protected and you lose your contacts.”

Bradshaw said that top players don’t want to answer tough questions, so FOX has steered away from player interviews lately. We’re guessing these comments won’t get Peyton Manning and company to sit down with Bradshaw any faster.
