What a moron....
BEREA, Ohio Gerard Warren, aka "Big Money," is ready to give up some of it to hand rookie Ben Roethlisberger his first loss.
Warren, the Cleveland Browns' four-year veteran defensive tackle, threatened the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, vowing to "go across his head" and saying he didn't care if it cost him a $50,000 fine from the NFL.
"Hey, it'll be well worth it," Warren said. "They're protected in this league.
"Yeah, we're going across his head, regardless of cost. That's what we get paychecks for. You have to pay the cost to be the boss. You want to be the boss man on the field Sunday."
Asked to demonstrate what he was talking about, Warren cocked his elbow and raised and pointed to his forearm.
"One of these right here," he said.
"A forearm in the noggin?" he was asked. "Right in the throat, how about that?" Warren said.
Going into Sunday's game, Roethlisberger is 6-0 as a starter. He has tied the NFL record for consecutive wins by a rookie quarterback to start his career set by ex-Steeler Mike Kruczek in 1976.
It was hard to tell how serious Warren was about doing Roethlisberger harm because he injected comments like: "It's more of a mental than a physical. Rattling his head."
"We want to be on his head, too, not just in it. If we can't be on it, we'd rather be in it," Warren said. Another example of his mixed message was: "Not necessarily knock him out of the game, I said go across his head a time or two. There's a difference."
Warren was given opportunities to back down. Told his remarks sounded malicious he said, "This game is all about being malicious and violent."
When it was suggested that he was talking about Roethlisberger's head, he said: "One rule they used to tell me, 'Kill the head and the body's dead.' "
When reporters were asked to leave the locker room, Warren was shouting that phrase.
