Colin Cowherd Not a Fan of Big Ben’s New Diet

Now that his football career is almost over, Big Ben Roethlisberger is finally taking his diet seriously. Ryan Burr, who attributed the following to an anonymous source close to Roethlisberger, detailed Big Ben’s new diet in a series of tweets earlier this week.

Bill Belichick denounced Ryan Burr story as fake news. Burr was proved correct then & now details Roethlisberger offseason
1. Ben camp says he hears everything. Best shape of his life, narrative that he takes a yoga class & then has a beer is just wrong https://t.co/2zhVY3Bm4d

Ben camp says biggest concern is weight loss. He has been so driven since season ended. Source says his diet is stricter than Brady. https://t.co/wgmpM7Y9Wu

Source goes on to say from an arm standpoint, Ben is more likely to win his first league MVP than finish outside top 10 in passing. https://t.co/aZnOW9mIfG

“Ben will never mention the beating he has taken in the media but says from a dedication standpoint has never seen anything from Ben close to this in past. Source say obsessed with diet & workouts. “ https://t.co/xiezHzYrUj

I started covering Ben as a basketball player in hs. I was @13abc in Toledo. Played wr on fball team because coaches son was QB. BR was QB sr yr made most of it.covered him @MiamiOHFootball that was 1st transformation. Day after draft FSNPGH sent me to his house for interview.

In PGH saw BR transform again into star QB that didn’t go well. Motorcycle booze women. https://t.co/HjwEwPxWtg

Then he married, was forced to settle down. But the narrative of beer guzzling lazy Ben never went away. https://t.co/hTNmeOM7LW

Find me an athlete and professional sport that gets blamed for everything as much as BR? From source in Roethlisberger camp he is tired of it. His ego is tired of it. If Steelers don’t run ball it’s because BR only wants shotgun. If OL has trouble BR holds ball to long. https://t.co/gVGTsVLWG5

If defense struggles BR scored to quick. Listen I have seen the total A-hole Ben. I have seen the unprepared out of shape Ben. I am told for what it’s worth those former Ben’s have been buried in a grave. https://t.co/UtWppBpyEA

While most don’t have too many negative things to say about Ben’s new diet, one man remains skeptical. Colin Cowherd laid into the work ethic of Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers following the big reveal of his new diet.

Watch below:

"I have the Pittsburgh Steelers as a sub .500 team in 3rd place in the AFC North. 8 wins is being gracious."

Cowherd always needs a target, and now that Baker Mayfield is no longer on his radar, he’s going back to an old favorite.

Last time I checked, Ben doesn’t look too different:

If Ben Roethlisberger's physique is, again, the Steelers topic du jour (though in a different way than usual this time) wouldn't it be juicier if we hadn't seen the guy in months? We just saw him, in-person, less than four weeks ago. He looked the same as ever. There are photos! pic.twitter.com/QVCDb20jZ8

We’ll see if his new diet helps him complete a pass downfield.
