The Steelers Ben Roethlisberger gave fans a Christmas gift of his own on Wednesday afternoon. After some speculation that his recovery from ligament damage to his elbow wasn't exactly progressing as quickly as it should, the future Hall of Famer shed some truth on his situation via his official Twitter account.
In the second part of his Christmas message he addressed his future.
P.S. Contrary to recent reports out there about my football future and my ‘uncertainty’ about playing again, I am working hard and am more determined than ever to come back stronger and better than ever next year!

Without a doubt it's great to hear Roethlisberger's intentions straight from his 'mouth' (Twitter). So rejoice, give thanks, and possibly shoot a prayer for his injured elbow. A team that hasn't scored over 30 points all season needs him.
