Roethlisberger putting crash behind him

ALAN ROBINSON

Associated Press

PITTSBURGH - Ben Roethlisberger didn't have any problem recalling the significance of June 12. It's been circled on his calendar for nearly a year. So, while the Steelers were holding a voluntary team workout Tuesday at Heinz Field - spending a day away from their practice complex - their quarterback was remembering where he was a year ago to the day.
That day he crashed his motorcycle into the side of a car that failed to yield the right of way at a busy Pittsburgh intersection, causing a scary accident in which the helmet-less Roethlisberger lost considerable blood - and, with it, nearly was killed.
"This is the day last year that, uh, I almost lost my life. ... I had it marked on the calendar," Roethlisberger said as the Steelers wound down their offseason drills. "I marked it down today on the calendar as one year and then tomorrow I had, 'Hopefully, no more talking about it.' "

Big Ben's No. 7 retired
BY MARK SCHMETZER | ENQUIRER CONTRIBUTOR

OXFORD - One of the goals Ben Roethlisberger set for himself as a child growing up in Findlay, Ohio, was to have his high school, college and professional football jersey numbers retired - in his honor, of course.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger have agreed to a new eight-year, $102 million contract.
The contract, which includes more than $36 million in guarantees and is easily the largest in team history, places Big Ben among the game's highest-paid players. In comparison, Peyton Manning received a $34.5 million signing bonus in his big deal and Michael Vick received $37 million in guarantees from the Falcons in his mega deal. Both Manning's and Vick's deals were signed in 2004.

Steelers gladly accept "boring" mature Big Ben

By Jason Cole, Yahoo! Sports Aug 21, 10:28 am EDT

PITTSBURGH ? Mike Tomlin mulled the thought for a moment, but came up empty. The second-year coach didn?t have any really memorable story about Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

?Ben is kind of boring,? Tomlin said.

Somehow you get the feeling that Pittsburgh fans took no offense to the statement. They?re more than happy to take a Pro Bowl quarterback fresh off a team-record 32 touchdown passes and armed with a reported six-year, $102 million extension, even if he doesn?t light up the nightlife anymore.
