Roethlisberger Wants Us to Forget

by

I know Roethlisberger would like everyone to stop talking about this, but I don’t think this could be a Pittsburgh blog without mentioning it. Yesterday, June 12th, was one year after the big motorcycle accident.

I remember the day it happened; time in Pittsburgh stopped and everyone was preparing for the bad news. Then, to everyone’s surprise there was nothing majorly wrong with him. Which was a relief to Steelers fans everywhere; our super bowl dreams were not crushed. The city was alive again with excitement for the coming season.

I guess Roethlisberger had an interview with the media yesterday; here is a link to the Post-Gazette story.

“Everyone’s forgotten about it except the media,” Roethlisberger said. “So, hopefully, now that the year is over with, everyone will forget about it.” – PPG

Maybe if he played for the Penguins, more people would forget about it. Ben needs to understand Pittsburgh loves football and will never forget. Just look at how many past Steelers players we still talk about and the books about them. I bet if they offered a class at CCAC about Steelers history, there would be a waiting list to take it.

    Haha I bet they teach a little Steeler history in the History of Pittsburgh class they offer at my school.

    Big Ben was VERY lucky to walk away from that accident & be able to play football again.

    Fortunately, the Steelers faithful will also never forget that he’s responsible for leading them to ‘one for the thumb’, so unless he decides to play Evil Knievel sans helmet again, all should be well in Steel Country….

    Brian,
    I bet in about 10 years there will be a book writen about it. It seems Pittsburgh loves books about past Steelers greats.
