I've been looking forward to talking to the Steel City about their leader. In regard to Ben being ready... He's ready. He's been through a one-man training camp. It was meticulous, it was filmed, it was Western PA blue collar style. There were three workouts we did right out in the rain, just a downpour, and I was just waiting for him to say 'maybe we take this inside,' and at no time did he even flinch. And you know, he's throwing four or five pound footballs and things like that, and he went right after it. He's ready, he's sharp, the guy's in great shape and more than anything he's excited. So you blend all that together and I think when they uncage him in 13 days, he's gonna be ready to go. I think you guys will be excited." -- George Whitfield, from his interview on 93.7 - The Fan, October 5, 2010.
