(Pittsburgh, PA) Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker and assistant coach Joey Porter Sr. expressed that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was not a good teammate or person on the podcast of Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, “Not Just Football,” when it was recorded last week. Porter also stated during that podcast that Roethlisberger and linebacker James Harrison “broke the brotherhood” by discussing team business and criticizing former head coach Mike Tomlin on their own podcasts. Porter and Roethlisberger won Super Bowl XL together on February 5th, 2006 and were teammates for three seasons. Porter was a teammate of Harrison for four seasons.
