Big Ben under center…
Post-retirement plans?
Big Ben is in the building.
Something #DIFFERENT to start off your weekend
“There are just a few weeks left for you to get your DIFFERENT shirts. With every shirt you buy, Ben and I will provide TWO meals for someone in need in partnership with Light of Life in Pittsburgh, PA. Head on over to thedifferentshirt.com and join the team TODAY before time runs out!” — Micah.
“I will NEVER forget last night in Pittsburgh! I was joined on stage at our show by my buddy #BigBen Roethlisberger and we closed out the Different shirt campaign with an absolute bang. All season long Ben and I have been partnering with @lightoflife Rescue Mission to provide meals for the homeless citizens of Pittsburgh, selling special edition Black & Yellow Steelers shirts and providing 2 meals on each sale. Last night, with 500 shirts left we challenged the INCREDIBLE crowd in @ppgpaintsarena to get us over the 10,000 meal range and they SHOWED UP!
Big thanks to Ben, his wife, Ashley, and their family for partnering with my family to make an impact on the city by helping an amazing ministry help so many others! #herewego” — Micah.
Lil’ Fan Friday
Most moms get a sweet Valentine from their son. This mom got a sweet Valentine for @_BigBen7 đ! To say my sweet boy loves his @steelers is an understatement! He might not be accepting the retirement just yet, Big Ben! #SteelersNation #ValentinesDay2022
“I don’t care if Mr. Ben is retired, he’s STILL my favorite player!!” — Winnie (who could probably fit in Ben’s shoe).
“With Big Ben hanging up the cleats this year, it feels right to share this picture again. 13 years ago, we were at Pizza Hut celebrating Abigailâs 6th birthday. Ben was just a couple weeks removed from his second Super Bowl win over AZ. He was kind enough to take the time to say hello to our family and get a picture with the birthday girl.” — Jon Kura.
“Iâm a worship leader at my church, so one thing Iâve always admired most about Ben from the time I was a little girl to now is his heart for Jesus and how he shows that on and off the field. He leads well and sets an example. Ben will be greatly honored for that. Even though meeting him in that pizza shop was a very long time ago, Iâll never forget how kind and genuine he was.” — Abigail Kura.
It’s Bensday!
An early birthday celebration for Big Ben
“A birthday surprise for Big Ben in the ‘Burg’ with the boys!” — Jim Kelly.
“Two of the great people on this planet. What a great night with dear friends.” — Merril Hoge.
“Awesome night with such great people. HAPPY early BIRTHDAY Ben! LOVE Ya Bud! đ” — Jim Kelly.
Ben has to wait 5 years to go into the HOF
“The 2021 season was Ben Roethlisbergerâs final one of his career. He started in 16 games while throwing for 3,740 yards and 22 touchdowns and led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a playoff berth. He moved into fifth all-time in career passing yards (64,088) trailing only Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Hall of Famers Peyton Manning and Brett Favre.
Roethlisbergerâs jersey from Week 18 when he played in his final regular-season game is now on display in the Pro Football Today Gallery.
During the game on Jan. 9, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Baltimore Ravens in overtime (16-13) to clinch their playoff spot. Roethlisberger threw for 244 yards and one touchdown.”
