“Footbahlin’ with Ben Roethlisberger”, Episode 54
Celebrity Puck Drop with Big Ben & Da Beard!
October 19th, 7pm.
Wait! Is that Team Pennsylvania’s #4 on Saturday’s highlight reel?
“It was a Saturday to remember at PGA Frisco and the National Car Rental PGA Jr. League Championship. Check out the Best of the Best highlights with these Choice Shots Driven by National Car Rental.” — PGA Jr. League, via Facebook & Twitter/X.
“Two dads, a rookie and a caddie….”
“Every one of these young men and women are fighting for each other, not just themselves. Don’t put so much pressure on yourselves. Go play with your teammates, but have fun doing it.” — Ben.
That joke isn’t quite all it seems. In fact, these four are household names depending upon your age, favorite sport and media of choice.
The panel, moderated by America’s Caddie, ESPN analyst and former standup comedian Michael Collins, included three fellow multi-hyphenates: Tony Finau, the six-time PGA TOUR winner, Team Utah Assistant Coach and dad to team member, Jraice; two-time Super Bowl champion, Pittsburgh Steelers legend and Team Pennsylvania dad to Benjamin, Ben Roethlisberger; and an on-fire PGA TOUR young star with three wins under his belt since he earned his card just two years ago, Tom Kim.
In front of a crowd of 96 junior golfers, their coaches and family members, the panel spoke about their experience with the media, teamwork, winning and losing and, most importantly, food.
“One thing I’ve learned being in media and social media is that the hatred people give you … they don’t hate you. They hate where they are in life,” said Kim. “A lot of times, it has nothing to do with you.”
While he didn’t come of age in the era of social media and has chosen to forgo it all together, Roethlisberger’s advice was universal.
“When we talked back in the day, it was a newspaper article and it was gone,” he said. “Now it’s around forever. Be aware of what you say, since you’re representing yourself, your family, your faith or whatever it may be.”
Day One for Benjamin Jr.
“They really played wonderfully together. Good for them. They had one blip there at 14, but other than that, they had a great back 9.” — ESPN PGA analyst & professional golfer, Suzy Whaley.
