Ben Roethlisberger

Roethlisberger Attempts To Renew Classic Steelers/Cowboys Rivalry

Perhaps he was coaxed into saying it by a sound bite-hungry Mike Tirico and Michelle Tafoya. Maybe he was just trying to make the December 7 game between the Cowboys and Steelers a little more melodramatic. Whatever the reason, Big Ben Roethlisberger, drinking champion and clumsy motorcyclist, has seemingly taken a half-hearted shot at Tony Romo and his bubble-headed lass, Jessica Simpson. More »

NFL Players Move Around Less Than You Thought

We know that football is a violent game, full of huge men slamming into each other at frightening rates of speed. But, so you know, the 60 minutes of football you watch actually features less action than you think it does. More »

NFL Week One Roundup Of Random Notes And Bullet Points, As Is The Style

Thoughts on the first weekend of the NFL ... so glad to have it back ...

• Ben Roethlisberger threw 12 passes yesterday, and four of them were for touchdowns. Meanwhile, Charlie Frye ... you know, it's not like this guy is Tim Couch. Last year, some legitimately thought he might be the future quarterback. Now he's not even the quarterback of the second half of the opener. Maybe he should bounce his head off some pavement, then wait a year.

It's Been One Year Since Big Ben's Curbing

You know, time really flies when you've banged your head against pavement at 50 miles per hour. It's like you can't get perspective on matters, or something.

Yes, folks, it has been exactly one year today since Ben Roethlisberger's motorcycle accident. It's a day Steelers fans will always remember, like when Kennedy was shot or when you learned that Lance Bass had come out on the cover of a national magazine. More »

Big Ben Gets The Brady Treatment

The guy who made that my-lord-it's-everywhere Tom Brady tribute video has come out with a new one, devoted to SHOTY Tournament quarterfinalist Ben Roethlisberger. It's moderately amusing, but we mostly enjoy that it briefly features our famous Big Ben photos and ends with the line "Should have started Charlie Batch ..." That can't be a good sign. More »

No More Vroom Vroom For Big Ben

So the Steelers are falling apart right now, losing to the freaking Raiders last week, and at the center of all of it is quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who has had an awfully busy few months for a guy who didn't play all that well in the Super Bowl. Concussions, emergency surgery, road mishaps ... Ben has been all over the place, and in entirely negative ways. At least he avoided the glare of the drunk digital camera shot! More »

Steelers Choose To Stay The Course

We should be saving this for our Heartfelt Fridays post, but, you know, we couldn't wait. So ... sorry. In the Steelers' press conference on Tuesday, coach Bill Cowher said that he is officially taking the blame for the team's 2-5 start, warning everyone to lay off of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. "It's, like, totally my fault," said Bill.* "The buck stops here. Also, it was really me who punctured a middle-aged women's windshield with my unhelmeted head over the summer. Ben was home playing playing "Connect Four" at the time." More »
