May, 2015 - Bryan & Sara406 viewsThat evening Sara and I had reservations at Linger Longer Steakhouse and as we began our main course we recognized a familiar group being seated about 20 feet from us – it was Ben and a handful of RBs/WRs. We could not believe this was actually happening, and as a lifelong fan I felt like a little kid again. After we finished our dinner (and Ben’s table had not yet been served) we knew we had about a minute to do something. So we approached their table and I quickly introduced myself to Ben and thanked him for signing our ball. He could not have been nicer or more sincere in congratulating Sara and I on our wedding and the whole table was great too. After our brief chat we apologized for interrupting their meal and promptly left for our hotel.
I am not sure if we will ever have the opportunity to meet Ben again, but I do know Steeler Nation could not be more proud to have Ben as our leader. We look forward to continuing to support and cheer for our Steelers. Here we go!” – Bryan Antic

May, 2015 - Bryan & Sara411 views“A year ago my wife, Sara, and I got married at The Ritz Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation in Georgia. During the ceremony our ring bearer used a Pittsburgh Steelers football (signed by our wedding party) to carry our rings down the aisle – as diehard fans we had to incorporate the Steelers in some way.
After planning our return trip to celebrate our one year anniversary I contacted our Ritz Wedding Coordinator, Debbie Southworth, and asked about the possibility of getting Ben to sign our ball. We really did not have high expectations, but I knew Ben spent time here in the spring and has always been great to his fans. As luck would have it Debbie came through and greeted us with the ball (she had found Ben on the golf course and said that he was happy to sign it). Honestly having Ben’s autograph on our wedding football just put an exclamation point on our weekend before it even began.
We did not think our anniversary weekend could have gotten better – but it did....

January 3, 2016 - "Thank you Ben!"481 viewsWe received this email from a Browns fan, after he saw the photo of his son receiving the game ball from Ben on the website’s Facebook page -
Ben, first off I would just like to say that was a class act you giving the game ball to a fan.
I am a Cleveland fan and I took my kids to the game yesterday. They are both big Steelers fans!
You made my son, Caden, the happiest fan ever by giving him the game ball! That is something he will never forget.
After we left the game, he said, “Dad, I didn’t tell him ‘thank you’ for the ball!”. I told him I would try to contact you to let you know he loves it and to say thanks.
Also if you could thank Antonio Brown – he signed a jersey for my other son, Chace, before the game yesterday. It was a great day for both of my boys and it was real class for both of them to do that.
I can’t say ‘thank you’ enough to both of them, and to the Steelers organization — and that is coming from a life-long Browns fan.
Once again that was real class, and I appreciate it and I will have to cheer for you guys a little bit now. – Good luck in the playoffs, Jared Clonch.

Thank you Ben!368 views“Just wanted to share the photo Ben was sweet enough to take with me over the weekend. I had gone out with family to see my cousin’s band play, and I thought for sure I saw Ben go past us. Awhile later, I was sure it was him. I asked for pic, and he said, ‘Next time back through!’. He was a man of his word. He couldn’t have been nicer, and truly made our night. Please tell him thank you!!” – Carla Weaver
Carla, thank you for sharing the photo with us!

"I went to Italy during Easter week this year with high school students. I am a history teacher at Greece Athena High School in Rochester, NY. I am in Philly tonight. I traveled 6 hours to meet Ben tomorrow (May 4, 2013). I took other pics with Antonio Brown's shirt in Rome, the Vatican City and Florence." -- Carl Stresing

Carlyse's Benroom...er, bedroom!556 views"My daughter is 13 and her name is Carlyse Coleman! She has been a fan of Ben since his 1st season. After Christmas in 2004, she said to me that Santa didn't bring me the best present ever! When I asked what that was, she said a Ben Roethlisberger jersey! The next morning I went out with her older brother and got her the 1st of many!!! She's also been to Bens football camp the past 2 yrs! She's does love her quarterback!!" -- Christine Petroci

February 9, 2013 - Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Weekend602 viewsBen poses with Cary Feltman, Justin Shigley, and Ian Sterner outside after the Induction Dinner in Oxford, OH.
Cary and his friends attended the Dinner and he had this to share about Ben's speech during the evening:
"It was very respectful of Coach 'Hep' and about how he was the reason he went to Miami University. [Talked] about the players that paved the way for him and the players that were to follow. He cracked some jokes about taking so long to graduate. Also before he stood up to do his speech, the lady that was announcing the players and giving a brief of their accomplishments before they would come up accidentally called him Brian Roethlisberger. So when he walked up to the podium he says, 'Sorry, Brian couldn't make it tonight, so I'm filling in for him.' He had the room laughing pretty good." -- Cary
*Thank you so much Cary!!
