NFL, Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers, Still overrated FWIW

There's a Lil' Ben on the way, and don't worry... it was probably consensual

January 8, 2012; Denver, CO, USA; Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (7) during the first quarter of the 2011 AFC wild card playoff game against the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field.  Denver defeated Pittsburgh 29-23 in overtime.  Mandatory Credit: Chris Humphreys-US PRESSWIREBen Roethlisberger is apparently quite proud of himself, announcing on his website that he's going to be a father for the first time.

Before you start to get concerned, don't worry. He's having the child with his wife, and by all accounts the child appears to have been conceived consensually.

This wasn't another sexual assault in a Milledgeville bar, this was just a man and his wife deciding to start a family.

What a relief.

Roethlisberger's last game was an overtime playoff loss to Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos. Roethlisberger was 22-40 passing, with 289 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT for a 75.9 QB rating.

Roethlisberger certainly hopes to improve on that this year, and we'll see if his wife's pregnancy becomes a distraction for him.

I respected only for the headline.



...and marriage doesn't change who you are, maybe having a kid will though...hopefully... amen.

He can screw around all he wants now as long as it's with his wife.  I think marriage may be the best thing that ever happened to him.
