Text From Steelers' Rookie To Ravens Friend Fuels Monday Night Fire - Sports News Story - WPXI Pittsburgh

So, is this player's phone really stuck up on a bulletin board in the dirty-bird's locker room?

Text From Steelers' Rookie To Ravens Friend Fuels Monday Night Fire - Sports News Story - WPXI Pittsburgh: "Mendenhall, who is friends with the Ravens' Ray Rice, sent a friendly text, telling Rice he was going to have a big game Monday night. However, Rice passed that message along to his teammates, who didn't seem to be too pleased.

'Thanks for the bulletin board material, rookie,' Ravens' Bart Scott replied.

But Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward said the incident is no big deal.

'For him, he texted one of his friends and unfortunately in this business, you got to be careful who you text nowadays, because now they use that and put it as bulletin board material,' Ward said. 'But if you need that to motivate yourself, then your mind isn't really into the game if you're worried about a text message.'

I just hope he holds onto the ball throughout the entire game.
