Dakota Sizemore...1008 viewsis suited up and ready to take the field!

"I just wanted to send you a picture of my boy playing Pee-Wee. This is his first year playing. He loves it so much! I am so glad he does because I wanted to play so bad when I was a child. My parents pushed me away because they thought I would get hurt. I told my wife if my boys want to play, they are playing.

"They won their first game 28 to 2. Was really proud of my son. We kicked the ball off and it went about 15 yards, thatâ€™s good for Pee-Wee. lol Dakota (My Son) recovered the ball and we got the ball. Proud of him. Made some good tackles to. At practice last night coach told me he was earning him a spot on offensive. Nobody can get to the QB with him blocking. Not trying to brag, just wanted to share my happiness with you Ben.

"When I was my sonâ€™s age I wrote to the Steelers and they sent me a big box of goodies! In a kids eyes that makes you love a team. Never have forgotten that and never will. Me and my son are both huge Steeler FANS. Here We Go Steelers, Here Go." -- Charlie Sizemore

Lucky #7's!!644 viewsJames, Adyson, & Reagan Frazier.

"I have to tell you a story about my James. Even though he is bigger than his older sister, he is just 2 & he hasn't yet attained his older sister's verbal skills. The couple of weeks Ben was out with his injury, James watched the games with me & he would just look at Byron & Charlie with his head tilted to the side a little bit. He would cheer here & there during the games when I would cheer but he was generally quiet. Then came the Steelers/Chargers game.. When Ben stepped out onto the field, my little man went nuts! He was jumping up on the couch screaming, pointing at the TV. 'Gloo gloo glee' is his version of "Goooo Steelers" & he was yelling it, clapping, & grinning from ear to ear. It hit me Sunday, that James was confused the previous Sundays & that's why he had been so quiet. He missed our quarterback as much as Mommy did. My Reagan will tell anyone that listens, 'Ben Rofusberger is the best quarterback in football, hands down.' My youngest Ady-girl, it's just a matter of time! We love our Big Ben, Always!" -- Rachel Frazier

April 23, 2010 - Little Maddox meets Big Ben2654 viewsFrom Maddox's father, Colin Gratchen:

I need to share a positive story that happened to my family today regarding Ben.

I have been hypocritical of Ben, doubting him at times. People make mistakes. I have made a ton of them and always seemed to get another chance so why can't we do the same with Ben?

Ben and his father were golfing today. My son Maddox who is 5-years old, is a huge 'Ben fan'. My son patiently waited for Ben to finish up at the ninth hole. He had his 'Ben' jersey on and a rookie card in hand.

Well before my son could even ask him a question, Ben took the initiative and asked my son, "What do you got there buddy, you want me to sign something?".

So he signed a card for my son and took a picture with him. They then saw him a few minutes later getting a hot dog and he called my son "buddy" again.

I don't know if Ben has to win his fans back or not, but I just wanted to thank him and share a positive story with you.

He put a smile on my family's face today and I'm pretty sure my son will never forget it. If he does, heâ€™s always got a nice picture and autograph to remind him.

I should have never prejudged the guy like so many others. Iâ€™m going to share this story with as many as I can.

Story Update:

Colin advised that his son "has been talking about the experience for the last couple days. We printed up some pictures for the golf course and our parents. Now he wants to autograph one and send it back to Ben."

Update, May 28, 2010: After Maddox's meeting, he wanted to send Ben a photo of the two of them with his autograph (in crayon). Ben said he would do an even exchange - an autographed photo of him for an autographed photo of Maddox, but he sent much more:

Hey Erin,

We received the pictures today! Maddox was so pumped! Now he thinks Ben is his biggest fan because that is what he wrote to Maddox!

If you can, tell Ben we couldn't say thanks enough to him! He has just made Maddox so happy!

Today we got a package mailed directly from Ben's parents (Ken and Brenda) and it had more autographed items in it than we expected.

So the tally for one simple meeting turned into 2 autographed authentic NFL action photos and 3 autographed cards as well as a personal photo taken with my son. The autographed photos of Ben scoring the first TD of Super Bowl 40 and Ben making "the tackle" against Indy are just awesome.

If people are going to tell every negative story, I'm going to continue to tell the positive ones too. It's only fair.

*Thank you so much to both of Maddox's parents, Colin and Nicole, for sharing their story with us!

**Photo taken by Colin. Please do not use the photo without permission.
