The Facts: NFL insider Jay Glazer’s supposed joke about Roethlisberger being “allergic” to offseason conditioning may have ruffled the quarterback, but it didn’t cause a stir in the organization’s front office. GM Kevin Colbert, in fact, did what he usually does when such controversial statements are made in the media. He ignored it.

Diehards Line: In an interview Wednesday, Colbert to offer a response when asked about Glazer’s crack that Roethlisberger’s workout program consists of “one yoga session, playing golf and drinking some beer.” “You see them, you hear them,” Colbert said, “but when you know what the truth is, you just kind of let it go.” For the record, Glazer since has backed off from that criticism. Beyond that, Colbert has no issues with Roethlisberger’s offseason regimen – in this offseason when he is recovering from right elbow surgery or during a typical offseason when injuries are not a factor. “I know where Ben is, where he’s been in his career, and I’ve never worried about his conditioning,” Colbert said. “When he shows up at training camp, he’s ready to go. He knows how to prepare himself.” While Roethlisberger will be entering his 17th season with the Steelers, he’ll be returning from a year in which he played just six quarters before undergoing season-ending surgery. So his progress is something we’ll be watching.
