Hey, did you see that ESPN.com story last week about the close friendship between Ben and Jerome? It was really good...especially this part...

Roethlisberger recalls his first day with the team in 2004, after the Steelers drafted him with the 11th pick of the first round. He was carrying his playbook and a notebook. Bettis walked up to him and grabbed the notebook.

"He writes 'Jerome,'" Roethlisberger says. "He writes 'home number' and 'cell number.' And he goes, 'Anything you need, I have. Anything you want, I have. If you ever want to go out. Anything you ever need, just give me a call. Don't hesitate to call me.'"

Classy.
