I'm usually not such an optimist. Normally I have a more realistic outlook on how things will sort themselves out, but I will say August is showing some promise. The NBA and NHL are back finishing up their regular/post season. MLB has quite a bit of hiccups, but they are still playing some games. NFL training camps are underway and seem to be running as best as they can. And the moment all of Steeler Nation has been waiting for… Ben Roethlisberger throwing the football again. I know, we saw the video in May with Juju Smith-Schuster saying “He’s back” and even Robert Morris University showed a video of Roethlisberger and company getting in some field work. That does not mean I will be any less excited every time I see a glimpse of Roethlisberger throwing. The Pittsburgh Steelers released more footage of Roethlisberger throwing and it is a thing of beauty. You could show me as many videos as possible, but until I see him in a game, throwing a football with no pain, taking bumps and bruises, I will be riding the roller coaster of emotions.

Seven seconds long, I see what you did there Steelers social media team. Luckily for us, Brooke Pryor of ESPN’s NFL Nation got us an extended look.

Some people say the greatest moment of their life is when they have children. I don’t have any but damn, I imagine seeing this is a similar feeling.
