    For some reason I was wondering whatever happened to Rashard Mendenhall. When I googled him, I of course found quite a few hits but I also came across an article titled---

    https://www.steelcityunderground.com/2018/07/20/how-former-steelers-fare-after-leaving-pittsburgh/

    There are dozens of players mentioned. Thought it might be interesting to fans here.

    BTW: Oddly enough, Mendenhall was not included but he is doing very well as a writer for a HBO TV show. He is also at it again with ill advised comments.[tweets] He weighed in on the recent AB story and blamed it on Big Ben accusing Roethlisberger of being a racist. He then retracted the statement and of course explained what it really meant????

    I don't think it's a secret at this point that Ben wasn't always the best teammate. The only teammates that Ben seemed to care about were the Oline.

    Medenhall sucked on Madden. No awareness, like 30 out of 100.

    I liked Ballers... still havent seen the new season.

    Mendenhall... didn't he choke and fumbled in superbowl?

    Anyhow I had high hopes for Cortez Allen one of the dozens mentioned in the link.

    Former starters Cortez Allen and Antwon Blake are also retired. (On a side note, Allen just completed his MBA from the University of Miami.)

    He fumbled but it was more on Legursky than him.

    I forgot all about Legursky!!!

    Thigpen... I love that steeler 60 minute men clip!

    I would love if we can transform our team to a part deux of that.

    Yeah, he was blasted just as he got the ball. Matthews fired in. The Steelers were driving to take the lead and looked unstoppable. Green Bay lucked out in that game for sure. Dammit!

    Legursky???? You forgot about him---I was thinking we never had no Legursky what's Thigpen talking about---Yeah he was there for sure. I just can't believe I could completely block out a player but I did. But I'm not sure if he was responsible for missing the block on Matthews. Regardless Mendenhall was hit before he could even secure the ball. A painful memory. Frankly I was sorry to see him leave here. I thought he was a real good back.

    Why take a shot a Ben? smh. Mendenhall was and still is a f#$king halfwit who couldn't just keep his mouth shut. Average player at best.

    People take shots at Ben because of his history, attitude, and actions. It is what it is.

    He was a decent back but the fumble in the Superbowl was at the most inopportune time. Steelers had all the momentum going their way and then it came crashing down. Hard to fault Rashard for that entirely though. Still can't believe nobody blocked Clay Mathews.:shock:

    MmmK if you say so. Because the raving lunatic AB said he was a bad teammate, gotcha.

    So Mason Rudolph is a nasty racist because Myles Garrett said it right?

    Yet, nobody believes people can change. Early on, Ben was very humble and donated to many good causes. Fame and Fortune got to his head and he made some mistakes. He then got married and had a couple kids. Pretty much been quiet off the field ever since. But like you said Ben will always get a bad rap from most fans around the league.

    No. Ben admitted to not being a good teammate earlier in his career.

    Ben calling out players in a public forum suggest it too. Something is just isn't right. Ben comes off as fake to me.

    All that doesn't have anything to do with the kind of teammate that Ben is in that locker room. Something just isn't right. Ill leave it at that.

    Don't really know what you are basing that off of. Never really heard any team mate gripe about him or try to throw him under the bus. What do I know though? Never been a part of that locker room.

    Do a Google search. I'm sure you can find something. I've read and listened over the years. Something just isn't right.
