Watching Ben Roethlisberger eat it will always be life-affirming
Whatever you or I may think or know, the Steelers will retire Ben Roethlisberger’s No. 7 one day, and maybe even one day soon. We can’t win. He’ll be revered by perhaps the most slovenly and up-its-own-ass fanbase in American sports, he’ll probably get a TV gig if he wants one (the fact that he can’...

Most of the season, the focus has been on Bill Belichick and Tom Brady recovering from their breakup in different places.
