Jay Glazer set social media on fire last week when he spoke about Ben Roethlisberger’s offseason workout strategy.
“There is no fitness in Ben Roethlisberger,” Glazer wrote in a recent Q&A for The Athletic. “His idea of a great off-season workout program is doing one yoga session, playing golf and drinking beer.”
After the quote went super viral, it eventually made its way to Big Ben and he was so upset about it, that he reached out to Glazer to have a conversation.
“I make fun of Ben all the time and he makes fun of me,” Glazer stated. “It’s a locker room. We get after each other. But he was honestly upset by this and I credit him, too, that he called me back about it, or that he reached out. Because he reached out and then we talked about it. As a man, if you’ve got an issue with somebody, you call him. That’s why I called him. He called me back and we handled it and we hashed it out. And yeah, he’s like, ‘I am rehabbing.’
“He’s rehabbing his butt off and I think it’s the level that Steelers fans would want him to rehab. I know it is, because I’ve known Ben for a long time. And Ben and I have had our things in the past. Ben and I get after each other and sometimes I get a little trigger happy wanting to get after Ben. And I can tell when he’s passionate about something and he’s definitely passionate about his rehab.

“So, if you guys are going to tweet something out this time, you say I talked to Ben Roethlisberger. And It’s the first time I’m saying this. I talked to Ben today, he is definitely passionate about his rehab. And my comments about him was more poking fun at him for what he’s done in the past. He’s really getting after his rehab and good for Steeler fans and good for him.”
The Pittsburgh Steelers QB missed much of the 2019 season with an arm injury and is expected to be 100% for the 2020 season.
