Training Camp - August, 2013743 viewsBen walks out onto the practice field with his friend, Noah Galloway.
"So honored and blessed to have my good friend Noah at training camp these last couple days! It was great to spend some time and talk and share stories with Noah. He spoke to the team tonight and it was awesome – everyone really enjoyed it. We are so blessed to play a game that we love and we owe all the troops all over the world a huge thank you for all your service." –- Ben
As regular readers already know, Noah is no stranger to Ben’s website!
Noah first shared his story with the website in 2012:
http://bigben7.com/new-fan-photo/
He had his photo taken with Ben after the two met in the airport in March of 2012 and shared it on Twitter:
“It’s a great feeling when Roethlisberger introduces himself to you and thanks you for your service. Great guy! It was incredible to have him come up to me…I really appreciated it!â€
Noah had just completed the White Sands Missile Range 23rd Annual Bataan Memorial Death March in New Mexico, and was on his way home to Alabama when he met Ben in the airport. Noah and his team, TEAM X-T.R.E.M.E completed the 26.2 mile march wearing 47lb packs and gas masks.
His photo with Ben was also featured as the website’s Photo of the Week in November during Veterans Day week to coincide with Ben’s Salute to our Troops tribute!

November 18, 2016 - Lil' Fan Friday743 viewsWith Thanksgiving less than a week away:
Six-year old Zane is a first grader at Elida Elementary School (the same school that Big Ben’s dad went to) in Lima, Ohio (where Big Ben was born)!
His teacher, Mrs. Fullenkamp, came up with a fun project called, “Disguise the Turkeyâ€: her class could disguise a turkey any way they wanted so it didn’t get eaten on Thanksgiving Day! Yikes!!
So Zane, a HUGE Steelers & Big Ben fan, decided to disguise his turkey as Ben, “The best quarterback in the NFL!†That way, he could get away from the hunters like he gets away from defensive linemen! Zane, you’re a wise young man!
Thank you to Zane’s grandmother, Carol Cunningham, for sharing his awesome project & photo with us!!

October 2, 2016 - Chiefs vs Steelers742 viewsRoethlisberger didn’t just rain on the Kansas City Chiefs. He made it pour, completing 22 of 27 passes for 300 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions in the Steelers’ 43-14 victory.
Perhaps it explains why Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley said this about Roethlisberger following the home opener against Cincinnati, which was played in similar sloppy weather:
“When you get in conditions like that, I believe Ben’s the best ‘mudder’ in the league,†Haley said. “Sometimes, I root for bad weather.â€
When told he’s considered a tough mudder, Roethlisberger simply smiles and shrugs.
“I’ve been called that for a long time,†Roethlisberger said. “I guess it’s growing up in Northwest Ohio. Just because I’m used to it doesn’t mean I like it.â€
No, seriously.
Roethlisberger said he hates playing in the rain.
