Roethlisberger vs. Ward?

Oh heavens...if this is what passes for strife in Steeler Nation, I'll take it. So Ben wants a tall receiver. Understandable. What he has is one of the best receivers. No problem. Raider fan, don't you wish this was your team's biggest problem??

Almost as soon as the story "broke" it was resolved. Apparently, Big Ben and Ward have spoken and patched things up. Not that any true Steeler fan should believe there ever was a rift. These guys have been playing together for a few years now, have won a Super Bowl as teammates...It is doubtful that some comments about coveting a tall receiver can damage the chemistry that exists between these guys.

It's just too bad that we have to wait until September to see that this is all a big non-story. Look for Ward to have over 1,200 yards receiving and for Big Ben to have another 3,000 yard, 25 + TD season. I'd like to think that the Tomlin-era Steelers are just getting started.

And if they manage to score a tall receiver along the way to September...all the better.
