Ben speaks out on Ward's injury

Ben Roethlesberger, told that Hines Ward may miss Thursday night's game against the Cleveland Browns due to a strained hamstring, had some strong comments:  

 "What? A hamstring? He's not going to play because he's a little sore?"   He continued, after firing a football into the opposite wall and shaking his head.  

"I've got to question his toughness. I mean, a thing like that, I'd say the locker room is fifty/fifty on whether we're better off anyways with Sweed out there. At least he wants to play. And he's got better hands."  

 "Wow. A hammy, huh? I mean, I had my face surgically rebuilt and got right back out there. But you  know, a guy Hines' age, he's got to milk those last few years. There won't be another big payday for him. But that's okay. If Sweed needs a breather, we can just run Spaethie in Hines' routes. No dropoff there."  

Just a little Steeler sarcasm to vent some frustration.
