November 13, 2007 - Ben named Steelers Player of the Week for Browns Game2209 views"Dramatic comebacks don't usually happen in the NFL without great play from the quarterback, and the Steelers got that from Ben Roethlisberger through the second half [of their game against the Browns].
During a second half that had the Steelers come back from a 21-9 deficit to win, Roethlisberger completed 13 of 17 for 170 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a passer rating of 146.7. He also ran for 40 yards, including a 30-yard touchdown.
He is the Steelers Digest Player of the Week.
Also considered were James Harrison, who forced two fumbles on defense and made two special teams tackles: Clark Haggans, who lead the special teams tackles: and Heath Miller, who caught five passes for 72 yards, including the game-winning touchdown."Nov 13, 2007

USA Weekend Magazine - October 19-21, 20072038 viewsBen Roethlisberger Hands It To Canines
Ben with one of his dogs, Hercules, in Switzerland last year."Growing up in Findlay, Ohio, I always had dogs around my house, and my dad instilled in me a love and respect for animals. Today, I have two wonderful dogs to come home to every day.
Last year, Flip, the lone police dog in my hometown, was shot and killed, so I bought the department a new dog and came up with a concept. Part of my Ben Roethlisberger Foundation -- which already funds a youth football program in Findlay and benefits the Ronald McDonald House in Pittsburgh -- would provide grants to buy a service dog for police and fire departments in every city where we play a game this season and, when we play at home, somewhere in Pittsburgh.
In some cases, the city doesn't need a dog, but it needs bulletproof vests for its animals, just like a regular officer would wear. Many police department budgets don't include funding for protective K-9 vests. The police tell us what's needed.
Unfortunately, I'm not able to meet most of the dogs our grants provide, but I have played with Spike, Flip's successor. He is an amazing animal and can jump right up to the ceiling of an office building -- like 8 feet.
I was raised to appreciate my blessings and always try to help others not as fortunate as myself. Making a difference is about influencing and changing lives. We all have the power to do that. Make A Difference Day is your chance to help your fellow man -- or man's best friend."

MU Redhawks Gameday Program - October 13, 20072095 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.
