    The local media said AB got into it with Roethlisberger on the sideline during the game with Bengals, Ramon Foster stepped in to calm him down. It's one thing when AB did that crap on the field last year to show up Landry, you don't pull that crap with Ben. AB was upset because he wasn't that involved in the offense and they were throwing deep passes to Coates. Don't be surprised next year when he tries to work out a new contract and he wants 20 million a year, so he can be the highest paid WR.

    They were communicating on the sideline after Ben missed a wide open TD where AB split the defenders. Ben had very sub par game but still came away with the win. I like his competitiveness. His dances not so much. I wouldn't say he went "full diva" though.

    Indeed. Many of the great receivers have that "diva" personality to them. Granted.. I do not think that Antonio is a "full diva" yet ( I still believe that Terrell Owens has that marked in history) .. but calling him a diva would be accurate.




    Given where he was at the beginning of his career though... I do not mind his nitpicking every now and then.

    Meh. That crap happens in football. These guys are absolutely fierce competitors. I saw a clip once of Peyton Manning and Jeff Saturday going at it so bad that people were grabbing Peyton and Peyton was literally drooling he was so mad. He was dropping f bombs at him like nothing. They are actually great friends. It was just the heat of the moment. I really don't think this is all that big of a deal. Maybe it's just me though. AB also got in to it with Ike once in camp. He's just competitive.

    Wow...y'all will make a mountain out of a mohill. Is Ben complaining about AB...No!
    Is AB complaining about Ben....NO! AB wants the receiving record and Ben want to help him get it. To be apart of history. I was opened you missed me ...come on .. Let's beat these guys... We can't blow opportunities like that.

    And for the record, he should've gotten into it with Landry and Vick. They ruined his ongoing receiving catch and yardage record. It came to a screeching halt

    I was an absolute die hard fan of the Japanese version of Ninja Warrior. The reason is because the announcer on it was awesome. I couldn't understand a word he ever said but he was so animated that it made him insanely fun to listen to. I never watch the reject "American Ninja Warrior" because it doesn't have near the passion the original does. Makoto Nagano might be more than a mere mortal. I miss that guy.

    Yeah, wrong clip, Bens beard should have been the tip off as well as the score up top :lolol:

    It led right into the Cincy game though on the next clip, tricky bastards.

    But I imagine it was something like that.

    Not surprised. He's going to price himself out of Pittsburgh. I was interested to see how he acted after not getting any stats. He posted like 6 times on insta and 20 snaps in a few hours after Skins. Not much after a huge division win. He's definitely a diva and apparently he fired his chef as well.

    Yup. Its not like AB is the only one competitive between the two. They probably talk like brothers.

    I think that's what we're doing as fans looking from the outside and commentating. I don't think AB's causing any damage.

    You had to realize it was coming, No one likes AB more than I do and feel that he is the best player
    on the team and has been for sometime. But he can be a big pain in the ass when he doesn't get his stats.

    Let's not be to hasty there is potential for discussion in this thread for instance you never go full diva in week 2. Quarter diva for sure, half diva maybe but full diva never. That's like going full tard on a Monday and you don't go full tard at the start of the week.

    I have no problem with this at all. I would be more pissed if AB just didn't care that he wasn't getting the ball or that he wasn't catching it. They both had an off game, so I would expect there to be some fireworks.
