Big Ben was especially classy off the field.
Especially when drunk.
Mike “you’re athletes not activists!” Tomlin
And now this...

I should not use a cell phone to comment...can’t always see the fine print..

It was a class act!
When did he say that?
He made even my hubby mad when he held the team back in the tunnel in ‘17.
When did he try to redeem himself?
