I was laughing about that earlier. And wasn't sure how long ago the video was made. He unofficially was talking about retirement when? Anywho that is exactly what I blurted out to ol girl, Tommy gun time to take down the 🎄. Looked like his nose was screwed up? I thought Heath was looking a little rough too. Hope all are doing good...
Yep. Heath looked a little rough.

My name is Tom.

It's just sad to think that he could have had another 1 to 2 SBs if we had a coach that was actually qualified for the job. And don't even get me started on Canada's supposed "complex" offensive schemes. That incompetent **** would have been enough to cause anyone to retire.


QUIT trying to high-jack this thread, Its in HoNOR of BEN ROETHLISBERGER you ******* moron !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You all crack me up. I haven't watched a non-Steelers playoff game in years. Including super bowls.
Yeah if it wasn't for ol girl and friends I would have never tuned in on a game the Steelers weren't playing in. I fight to even watch for pick-ems. Someone is coming over Sunday and I didn't know who was playing until I was told. Still that 6 year old that hated being beat at checkers. I hate when the Steelers lose with a passion. I stopped tossing random items over time. But the blood boils still probably always will.

This is not the birthday present I wanted for my 50th (b-day on Sunday)...

But, we knew it was coming so there's that.

Well the Ben nuthuggers are like the Trump cultists: they just want to cheer their guy on and not hear any facts, or be reminded dude was not and is not a saint to this day. No matter what he babbles about Jesus or whatever.


Take this to the political board

Ben gets absolutely no respect… top ten QB all time…. The article about about him retiring buried on ESPN under articles about Bwady and Rodgers maybe retiring…

Brees and manning got more coverage… heck Rivers got more coverage….
Wilbon was all over the Ben disrespect on PTI tonight. It was a great segment and gave Roethlisberger the huge props he deserves.

Big Ben has being the QB of the Steelers for most of my adult life, given that I started watching NFL games in my mid teens. I appreciate all the effort and dedication he gave to the team, tough as nails, I didn't see other QB take such a beating and still come back for a winning drive over and over again, his houdini moves to escape from q sure sack and then not just throw it away but complete an impossible pass are legendary and probably an inspiration for the new elite QBs in the league.

Also appreciate how he bettered himself as a person because everyone deserves a second chance and this guy took it wholeheartedly.

Thanks Ben for all the great moments, we always had a chance to win it all with you at the helm.

Ps: if anyone has the pic after the broken nose against the rat birds I'd appreciate to see it posted.

EXCELLENT post Litos, thank you

So many fans want to "rapelesberger" BEN. They forget the fact of exactly what you are saying here. The second chance has been offered to many worse case players yet never seemed to have been offered to BEN.

He deseves a great deal of much deserved respect he has garnered from his life turn around. He has made that transition flawlessly. I am so proud of him in that respect as much as his football achievements.

Thank You Ben for being a role model.
