Anything to keep the rest of the league away from Pittsburgh's record.
Was hoping to see Steelers-Packers this year. Maybe next year.
Big Ben talking about retirement and that the Steelers are like the Patriots little brothers, that doesn't sound good for the Steelers. Kind of sounds like he heart isn't in it anymore. I hope he sticks around and continues to lead them to coming up short. If he wasn't a NFL star QB, I'm not sure he'd be a free man right now.
I wonder if he has a serious health problem...be it concussions or otherwise.
He has mentioned health problems, although nothing specific. The Steelers organization, among others, has a history of former players living, or not living, in diminished capacity, due to their playing years. Although, I personally believe that if a person chooses to wreck their life in order to make millions of dollars, that's their decision, assuming they aren't lied to or misled about the dangers and risks to their health.
From personal experience, Big Ben used to be a real jerk, to say the least, but I still wouldn't wish permanent health problems on him. Supposedly he has straightened himself out now, but that doesn't undo the damage he did to others.
