Whether Carr was crying or not in that game has now apparently resulted in other NFL players around the league being asked if there’s ever an acceptable time during a football game or in a locker room for them to show emotion. Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was asked a similar related question during his Wednesday media season.
“Well, I think as men, in general, we all need to show emotion,” Roethlisberger said after first admitting he knew nothing about the Carr incident from a few weekends ago. “I think there’s a misconception out there that as men we shouldn’t show emotion and I think that’s wrong. I think we need to show emotion, whether it’s at a movie, if you want to cry, if it’s funny, if it’s sad, if you want to be around your wife or girlfriend, and just because you cry doesn’t mean you’re any less manly. I think that’s a false narrative.
“And so, when it comes to football, if something hurts, I mean he might’ve been hurting. Who knows? I know I’ve cried in the locker room before for both joy and pain. You lose a football game, you know, if you’re not showing emotion, or if he gets up from something like that and he’s laughing, then he’s going to get chastised for not showing enough emotion. So, I don’t know exactly the story you’re talking about, but for me, I don’t think it makes us any less manly to show emotion.”
Ben endorses feelings.

As an unapologetic pussy, I am comforted by Ben's endorsement of man-feelings.

Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

Ben was inconsolable after he noticed the first grey pube.

Didnt Slash cry and that led to accusations of him playing for the B team?
Holy shit. I must be a huge pussy. My wife giggles when we watch a sad movie as the couch is actually moving as I have tears running down my face. Don't mind admitting that! Got a friend that was and still is the same way. When we get together, our wives always talk about us and the last show or movie that brought us to tears. Not many would call him a pussy - he's a retired Navy Seal. I personally don't think that just because you play football, you're more manly than anyone else, though they like to think they are. Many football players have tried various other venues after football , like pro wrestling, boxing, and even mma. They have all gotten their collective asses kicked. Not sure why and how all the machismo translates into Carr losing the confidence and backing of his teammates. I think that he has earned their respect. Gruden, on the other hand, is proving himself a real egotistical dirt bag.

I’ll take being in your mid thirties with multiple kids, a hot wife and fighting the dad bod off on a daily basis for 300, Alex.

If he plays into his 40s, maybe he’ll have a midlife crisis and return to form.
I thought this argument died with the gay linebacker?

So, Tom Brady? Add a side of avocado ice cream and we're there.
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile...

That bastard, STD. Just so we're clear, remember that STD made that up. I have ALWAYS valued tweed and leather elbow patches and corduroy suits more.
I do not deny being a dandy. But god damn it, I do not put jeans in freezers!

What does gay have to do with it? Are gay men more likely to cry than straight men?
Seems you would know better than we would Nick.
Fill us in. Do they cry more?

The Steelers are among the NFL’s worst teams in total offense (30th) and total defense (28th). Highest paid defense in the league by far. We are lucky to have Mike Tomlin.
