I'm Remo from Switzerland and I'm a big Football fan.
Well American Football is not that popular in Switzerland like Soccer or Ice hockey. But anyway for me it's a great sport and I like to watch them every Sunday. Like you know Big Ben has his roots in Switzerland . During his visit after winning the Super Bowl in 2006, I was lucky to met Ben at 'Lauperswil' and was able to talk to him and his father. He is a really nice guy and who knows, maybe one day he will come back to Switzerland or I will visit a game in Pittsburgh. Sorry my English isn’t that good but I hope you can use some of the pictures for your great website.
Greetings from Switzerland,
Remo

I had a great time..the people who ran the event and the fans there were gracious and so friendly. Ben and his team were having a blast right along w/the crowd. What a great thing for him to do for his hometown. It is quite apparent that they are as proud of him as he is of the town.
*Thank you to Trish for the story and the photos!

Ben raffled off many items..and darn it..I was 3 tiks away (in numbers) from winning his cleats.
Ben packed the house in..tiks were sold out and people were begging to buy ours..we had 1 extra tik so we gave it away. The crowd went WILD when Ben's team came out..very cool. They won like 107-90-not for sure. It was pandemonium when the game ended.
It looked like he made a lot of money for the scholarship..everyone had a blast. Ben entertained the crowd. He threw t-shirts to kids, did tons of raffles, and just looked like he was having so much fun. He took pics w/each member of the opposing team, the refs, refs kids. Very nice.
