Ben Roethlisberger Believes He’s ‘Earned The Right’ To Critique Teammates
The Steelers are first in the AFC North and have had a strong season despite some in-house drama, but that won’t stop Ben Roethlisberger from calling out his teammates.

Nick Saban won his sixth national championship Monday when his No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs 26-23 in overtime in an epic College Football Playoff National Championship Game. Saban, who normally is about as warm as a desert cactus, was downright jubilant when freshman quarterback Tua Tagovailoa hit DeVonta Smith for a 41-yard game-winning touchdown in overtime. And it honestly was kind of weird to see Saban so happy. Saban admitted this was the “happiest” he’s ever been in his life during an ecstatic postgame interview with ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi.
