Ben on David Letterman - February 2, 20092439 viewsIn this photo provided by CBS, Super Bowl XLIII winning quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers, left, joins host David Letterman on the set of "The Late Show with David Letterman," Monday, Feb. 2, 2009 in New York.

NEW YORK â€” When he threw the pass that won the Super Bowl, Ben Roethlisberger thought he'd just blown the game for the Steelers.

The Pittsburgh quarterback went on the "Late Show with David Letterman" Monday night and told the host his pass to Santonio Holmes with 35 seconds to play Sunday night was his third read, and he thought a defensive back would intercept it.

"I was getting ready to start running and then I saw about five guys closing on me, I knew my life was about to end," Roethlisberger told Letterman.

"I saw Santonio in the corner and as soon as I let go of it, I saw the defensive back going to get it, and I thought it was intercepted. I thought the game was over. I thought I blew it. And, you know what? He made a heck of a catch, he really did."

Letterman also thanked Roethlisberger for appearing on the show after a night celebrating Pittsburgh's 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

"Long night â€” but what better way to celebrate the next day than to be here with you," Roethlisberger said.

"Oh, what a guy, what a guy," Letterman said, applauding.

USA Weekend - July 20092426 viewsBen and Samuel L. Jackson on the cover.

From the article/interview:

Our USA WEEKEND Magazine cover guys will be [at the 2009 ESPY Awards] : actor Samuel L. Jackson, who's hosting the show for the fourth time, and Ben Roethlisberger, quarterback for the reigning Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jackson confesses that the show strikes at a primary -- even childlike -- source of joy for him. "When I'm at the ESPYs, the little kid in me who grew up watching sports in Tennessee comes out," he says, taking a break during our cover shoot. "We actors think they're something special, and the sports stars think that the actors are something special. Behind the scenes, you'll hear the top athletes in the world tell an actor, 'I could never do what you do.'

Then you hear an actor tell an athlete the very same thing. It's weird and funny and surreal all at the same time."

Roethlisberger has gone to great lengths to attend the show in the past. He appeared as a surprise guest after suffering serious injuries in a motorcycle accident in 2006. Now, he's returning as a two-time Super Bowl winner. "Sports guys like me get excited about this because many of us are huge movie fans," he says. "When I met Sam the first time, it was great because I know I must have seen 20 of his movies." (Only 20, Ben? The man has more than 120 movie and TV credits on his "IMDb.com" profile!)

Big Ben & Jackson go one-on-one --

We caught up with Jackson and Roethlisberger as they hung out, getting their take on several areas of interest:

Jackson on whether they've golfed together: We've always wanted to. But we just never have gotten together. We did have a near-miss opportunity recently. Ben played in the U.S. Open Challenge. But I couldn't play because I had already committed to another tournament. So Ben played there with Justin Timberlake instead. That J.T. gets all the love!

Roethlisberger on whether he has ever acted: I never have -- unless you count that Disney ad I did after the Super Bowl. But that's not really acting. What Sam does is acting.

Jackson on their common job demands: Both jobs are about preparation. I read my scripts over and over, trying to understand my character. It's the same for Ben. He studies his playbook and practices until the entire complicated process becomes instinctive to him. In the end, we both go out there and perform acts that look spontaneous, as if they're happening for the first time.

*thanks Jan!
