Big Ben Talks About New Deal, What It Means to Get Sacked 50 Times a Year Until 2015
Mar 3, 2008 – 5:53 PM
Ben Roethlisberger gets $102 million for his 26th birthday. When I turned 26 I got the Mallrats collector's edition DVD. Seems fitting on both counts.
Big Ben cleans up nice to talk about his new contract, but like every other press conference that doesn't involve a shirtless T.O. doing sit-ups in his front yard, we didn't learn much. Well, other than it looks like Roethlisberger has fully recovered from his 2006 motorcycle accident. And when I say "fully recovered" I mean "fully recovered his cherubic features." Look at this from the '06 ESPY's, and then watch the video again.
To be fair, Big Ben needs to put on as much weight as he can; if the Steelers don't fix the offensive line, currently labeled "Gaping Hole" on the team depth chart, he'll be taking plenty of hits next year. In fact, there's a good chance he'll set some kind of sack record if Pittsburgh doesn't completely overhaul the front five. Maybe that's an overreaction, but I'd settle for Sean Mahan getting demoted to back-up long snapper.
That would be a good start. And then the Steelers should figure out how to make this happen.
