ESPN - The Magazine: December 1, 2008 Issue2441 viewsESPN - The Magazine introduced a series of stories entitled "Living Scared" about the fine line today's athletes walk with their fans, as well as the threats they recieve from others. Ben, the Jaguars Fred Taylor, the Redskins Clinton Portis, and the Titans Kevin Mawae are just a few of the players interviewed.

From the Article:

Ben Roethlisberger's public persona isn't limited to game days. The Steelers QB is a pitchman for Nike and a local car dealershipâ€”and his image adorns the bottle of his custom barbecue sauce. Which leaves Big Ben conflicted. Does his high profile give fans an invitation into his life? And if there's a line that shouldn't be crossed, where is it? With no easy answers, Roethlisberger, 26, is one of a growing number of players who uses bodyguards when going out. He says that, much like in a collapsing pocket, you sometimes can't tell what's coming until it's too late.

Football Digest, February 20052305 views"Roethislberger, our cover boy this issue, has been the biggest surprise of the season. Drafted this year with the 11th pick overall, the Miami of Ohio product has guided the Steelers back to prominence. While his numbers don't compare with those of, say super-QB Peyton Manning, he has played with a poise that belies his years. The Steelers weren't expected to do much of anything this year, but thanks in large part to the work of their rookie QB, they have emerged as a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Roethlisberger is a lock to win the Rookie of the Year award, and he'll get even better in future seasons."

"Driving Home" by Jerome Bettis2940 viewsBettis on Ben Roethlishberger, P. 3

"When Ben got here, I took on the role of big brother. Warren Moon told him to look me up when he got in town, that I would help him out and guide him. When he got here, he asked me to come by and talk to him, so I did. We talked, and I gave him an understanding of what to expect as a first-rounder. I told him I was a former first-round pick, even though it was quite a few years ago, and I understood the expectations and everything that was being asked of him, things to be careful of as a young guy. The relationship developed from the standpoint of my being a big brother, telling him what to do, what not to do, to speak only when spoken to as a rookie, those kind of things. He is definitely the little brother. He is always after me trying to get the upper hand and get back at me. I am always getting on him, so whenever he has the opportunity to get on me, he does that."

Men's Fitness - 25 Fittest Guys Issue, June-July 2006 Article3658 views"The Lord of the Ring"
Ben Roethlisberger

"...But the most interesting thing about this pigskin-flinging prodigy, who's know to bust a bushy beard and hoard six motorcycles in his garage, is not his eye-popping record. It's the way Roethlisberger plays the game. He competes with an unmistakable swagger that's reminiscent of John Elway and Dan Marino. Say's Roethlisberger, 'Growing up, I always wanted an arm like Marino or Elway. So if I could be like anybody, I'd want to be like those two guys.'"

Men's Fitness 25 Fittest Guys - June/July 2006 Issue2668 views#1 - Ben Roethlisberger, QB for the Pittsburgh Steelers
"They've won championships, Oscars, and Grammys. They've fought in Super Bowls, boardrooms, and even in the military. They' ve worked hard, completed the toughest jobs, performed the impossible. For MF's salute to the fittest men of the year, we've selected guys who, when facing a wall that separates them from their dreams, haven't just climbed over the obstacle, they've crashed through it."

MU Redhawks Gameday Program - October 13, 20072098 viewsBen (in the background) returned to Miami for a pre-game ceremony for the retirement of his jersey number.

On Saturday, October 13, 2007, Miami of Ohio retired Ben Roethlisberger's number. It was the first time in 34 years Miami has retired a football jersey number. Ben became only the third athlete in Miami football history to have his jersey number retired, joining John Pont and Bob Hitchens.

The former RedHawk quarterback, now a star with the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers, led Hoeppner's 2003 club to 13 consecutive victories, a Mid-American Conference Championship, a victory in the GMAC Bowl and a No. 10 ranking in the final national polls. Roethlisberger earned Third-Team All-America honors during his record-breaking junior season and became just the third Miami player to capture the Vern Smith Award as the Mid-American Conference Most Valuable Player.

Ben holds school records for career yards (10,829) and touchdowns (84).

He was selected with the 11th overall pick in 2004 by the Pittsburgh Steelers -- the highest draft position of any Miami player in program history. Ben led the Steelers to victory in each of his first 14 NFL starts, leading Pittsburgh to the AFC Championship game and being named the NFL's Rookie of the Year. One year later he led the Steelers to a 21-10 win over Seattle in Super Bowl XL.
