‘Hard Knocks’ teaser: ‘We don’t play with Roethlisberger no more’
HBO and NFL Films just keep dropping little bread crumbs — hoping they lead us to the premiere of “Hard Knocks:” Training Camp With the Oakland Raiders” tonight.
Are you in?
A few days ago, there was that clever remake of the iconic poem, “The Autumn Wind Is a Raider.” And now comes a short sneak peek that features a sequence with three of wide receiver Antonio Brown’s adorable children.
The kids, of course, want to know why Daddy is not out running on the practice field (Brown has been dealing with a foot injury). But what they’re really curious about are the whereabouts of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who is nowhere in sight.
“Where’s Roethlisberger?” they want to know.
“We don’t play with Roethlisberger no more,” says Dad, pointing out that Derek Carr is his new quarterback.
Their confusion is understandable. Starting in 2010, Brown had played his entire NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Roethlisberger. The two stars had a highly publicized falling out before Brown signed with the Raiders as a free agent.
