Pittsburgh Steelers legend James Harrison has broken his silence on Joey Porter's controversial callout that set social media abuzz.
On a recent episode of the Deebo & Joe podcast, Harrison finally responded to Porter's callout of himself and Roethlisberger before turning his attention to defending Big Ben's character .
"You broke the brotherhood, bro, more than we did," Harrison said about Porter. "You didn't even play under Mike. You won a championship with Ben, you said it yourself. … He took his shot because he doesn't see Ben as a brother. And me personally, I do not think Ben is a bad teammate."
Harrison added that while he knows Roethlisberger could be an "a--hole" when he entered the league, he has grown up in a major way. Deebo then took aim at Porter for attacking Big Ben as a person.
"Peezy, that was just a pure out attack on Ben's character," Harrison said. "And what I said about Mike was an attack on his coaching, dude. Two different things. … But he went in on it because he obviously has a personal issue with Ben that hasn't been resolved."
It remains to be seen if Roethlisberger will respond himself to the comments Porter made, but we at Steelers Wire will provide fans with any updates on the situation.
