LATROBE — Another Pittsburgh Steeler has some strong words for Roger Goodell.

Less than three weeks after linebacker James Harrison made some inflammatory comments about the NFL commissioner to Men’s Journal magazine, safety Ryan Clark on Wednesday criticized the power Goodell holds, particularly when it comes to disciplining players.

“How often did you hear (former commissioner) Paul Tagliabue’s name throughout the season?” Clark said. “I think (Goodell has) decided to make himself a major part of this game. I don’t know if he had some type of high school dreams or Pop Warner dreams of being an NFL football player, but he’s made himself the NFL. He is the most popular — or infamous — commissioner in sports right now, you know? Maybe that’s what he wanted to be. We know he doesn’t work for us, he doesn’t work with us.”

Clark added that Steelers players likely will not vote to ratify the new collective bargaining agreement unless Goodell’s power is limited when it comes to fines or suspensions.

“He wants to do it his way — the same way that he has taken over most of this game,” Clark said.

Clark took issue when he was asked if he had spoken to Steelers president Art Rooney II about lobbying Goodell on the players’ behalf. “I’m talking about the commissioner — not my owner,” Clark said. “Our owner is a good owner.”

The line of questioning ultimately led to Clark to become agitated with the reporter who asked it, a Pittsburgh radio talk-show host. The two exchanged words and stood chest-to-chest before team personnel and players broke it up.
