Early in training camp, three-time Pro Bowl linebacker/defensive end Terrell Suggs goaded the reigning champion Pittsburgh Steelers by wearing a black t-shirt that read,
“You Bet Your Sweet Ass I Hate the Steelers” on the back. Well, cornerback Frank Walker showed off his own Steelers-themed apparel this morning and the sentiment was similar in tone. Walker wore a black t-shirt that had “Hey Pittsburgh” in big yellow letters and a Raven extending a purple middle finger. Walker said he and former Raven Corey Ivy spotted the t-shirt while attending a charity event prior to last season. “I saw them, and I immediately fell in love,” Walker said. Walker said he bought about 20 of the shirts and has distributed most of them to his teammates, while keeping about three or four for himself. Asked if he worried about any retribution from Steelers players when the AFC North rivals meet on Nov. 29 in a Sunday night game at M&T Bank Stadium, Walker replied, “Who cares”
