Everyone said TB (the real one, Terry Bradshaw) was a stupid farm boy from LA (Louisiana). Big Ben can't be that dump, he just signed a contract for 102 million bucks. Sounds like his head is right where it needs to be. But really, look at the stats. Roethlisberger has put up some great numbers. He was undefeated his rookie season (until the AFC championship). They were 8-8 his sophomore year and won the Super Bowl. His junior year had three major surgery's , and last year had a new offensive scheme. We went from run to set up the pass to pass to set up the run. I would rather see him take a sack than throw an INT any day. Don't worry, Berger has more rings coming his way.

Roethlisberger had a nice rapport going with Tirico and Tafoya, was joking around with them the whole time, and the entire exchange was 100% good natured. It's actually the first time I've had *any* positive feelings about Roethlisberger. I fail to see the issue here. The only way it becomes an issue is if some scumbag reporter digging for a story takes the quote to Tony Romo without providing context.

And I agree that he was joking but someone in his position needs to realize how things get blown out of proportion. The man definitly likes to hear himself talk, but I guess that cockiness is also what helps make him. To say he is the worst Qb to ever play in the Superbowl is ridiculous. Dilfer, Eason, Woodley, Rypien, ODonnell, Chandler.......I'm glad Alansaysyo isn't picking my personel.

First of all, Ben has one of the highest YPAs going the last few years -- meaning he DOESN'T throw short. Anyone with half a brain who's actually watched Steeler games knows Ben is a downfield guy through and through. Secondly, reading genius, I was referring to the playoff run specifically -- if you want a lame performance, look up what Parker and Bettis did during the playoff run. See what their per carry average was, if you want a good laugh. Fact is, Roethlisberger carried that offense -- if not for his 125 rating games they don't get to the Bowl and there IS no ring. That's why Romo can't carry his jock, Little Balls. I should start charging you people for the clues. Ah, Tex Small Balls, another know-nothing.

All he throws are screen passes and check downs....those are the same as running plays. Everything else he throws is a 50/50 ball that Hines Ward has to get blasted to even reach (yet he somehow always does). No run support for Fat Ben???

And that was done with NO RUN SUPPORT, meaning Roethlisberger had to carry the team to the Bowl. If not for Ben, the Steelers never sniff the Super Bowl. Yeah, rocket scientist go compare Ben's playoff numbers that run with Dilfer's. Tsk tsk. Stupid fools. To sum up for your not-so-sharpies: Roethlisberger carried the Steelers to the Super Bowl, with no run support whatsoever. Meanwhile, Tony Romo is still looking for his first playoff win.
