"Warrior-like."

I am still all fired up after watching that thrilling Steelers win against the Ravens. Troy, Woodley, Harrison, Farrior, etc. all came up big. But was there a gutsier, more warrior like player tonight than Ben Roethlisberger? His performance tonight should go down as one for the ages.
I know Jack Lambert said that QBs should wear dresses. For the most part you have to agree with him. Yeah, you get a Michael Vick who has the wheels to run, you get a Brett Favre who will stand in there and take a hit to deliver the throw, but who puts his team on his back and does what Ben did tonight?
Playing with a possible broken foot, wearing a cleat one-and-a-half sizes to big, fitted with steel plates, suffering a broken nose on the first series (forget the blood, imagine the pain) and wearing Terrel Suggs on his back like a mink stole all night, Ben led his team to a win. ~snip~
QBs are not supposed to be that tough. Ben does not get the credit as one of the top players at his position. Yeah Brady and Peyton and Brees, I know all about them. Could you see any of those guys doing what Ben did tonight? No way, no how!
Amen to that! Oops, sorry, I didn't mean to use a term commonly reserved for biblical referencs.
Raping inebriated females in tavern bathrooms is not my idea of being a warrior.
Don’t recall the word “rape” ever used in that matter!
I agree. I was just thinking the same thing. I hate when coaches start all that “its war”crap.
WOW!!!
What Doc, no coffee yet this morning?
It's easy to see your not a stillers fan, but you are as vicious as a liberal from the DU this mornning.
Put some red wine in a cup of black coffee and chill out.
Sorry, I meant the dude that wrote the article..
Old Number 22 in the Silver and Blue was one of my heroes growing up in Detroit. My dad was a cop and once pulled Bobby Layne over for DWI, which was almost socially acceptable back in the day.
To the writer: get off your knees and wipe your mouth. The guy played with a broken nose...wow. As if that never happened before.
Especially when you run to the referee to complain about being hit in the face!
“...After all he has won 2 Super Bowls....”
That’s debateable. Remember earlier this year the ref in SB 40 admitted he made some calls that cost Seattle a chance to win that one. But Big Ben has the rings.

Ravens fan here ... life long Baltimoron.
I’d like to have Palamalou (sp?) and Hines Ward on my team. Would have said the same thing about Ben a couple of years ago as well, but, as they say, character matters (especially to those of us dads with daughters in college).
Being a life long Steeler fan born and raised outside of the burg, some of these poster’s need to shut their computer’s off and go red-up their rooms and chill out.
That’s “redd-up” with two d’s.
If yinz had bin dahntahn, youdda seen it, n@.
