Maison Fetty...788 viewsFrom her proud mom, Melissa:
This is Miss Maison! She is not only a die hard Steeler fan; she is a die hard Ben fan. Ben is her favorite player on the Steelers, she even shh's us when he is on TV and tells us to "be still! Ben is talking". The gesture she is doing with her little hands is what she always does when she watches football or is hamming for the camera in her jersey. There is a funny story about it, she was in kindergarten last year and they had jersey day at her school. In class they were learning sign language. When the teacher asked the class what that symbol stood for, Maison raised her little hand and told her teacher "Touchdown Steelers". The teacher giggled and asked her how she came to that assumption, she smiled and said " because when Ben throws a TD pass that is what he does". The teacher loved it and told me about it because she is a Steelers fan as well and was hoping that is what Maison told her.
Just when you underestimate what your child may or may not know, they suprise you. She was teased in school because her jersey was not pink, but instead of not wearing her jersey anymore, she told the other kids that hers is just like Bens and Ben does not wear pink. She is excited about the upcoming season and seeing Ben on the field and hopefully winning another SB. They seem to hit her even yrs, since I got pregnant with her. Ben won his first one , when I was pregant with her, and he won his second when she was two. They went again when she was four and she turned 6 on July 17. So we believe in this house that it is our year and look forward to the season. Good Luck with the season Ben and good luck to you and your lovely wife on the upcoming birth of your child. Hopefully this year we get to see you and your beautiful family in NO in February.

Mr. Ben, will you sign my puppy?934 viewsJuly, 2012 - Training Camp: That little guy is JoJo Gratson! His parents said the moment he saw Ben, he ran to him….and right past Security! Before they could turn him around, Ben saw him and walked right over to him. When Jojo handed him the dog Ben asked, "What do you want me to do with this?" Jojo just smiled and handed him the sharpie! Then Ben "started all kinds of conversations with him" while he signed that dog.
Jane Gratson said Ben told JoJo he had a Steelers dog just like that one!
*Thank you to Rob & Jane Gratson, and to Tammy Palmer (who made the Steelers dog!).

Garrett Cagle scrambling out of the pocket!1011 viewsFrom his mom, Tammy:
"He has a very unique love and understanding for the game of football. He has played football since he was 4 years old for our towns Jr-Pro Pee Wee football team. There are very few 4 year olds that make it through football at this age. This past year was his 4th year to play. He got the HONOR of being the quarterback for his team this past year."
Garrett scored 25 touchdowns in just 9 games.
"I did ask him before typing this who he looked up to the most," Tammy continued. "His first answer was Big Ben and to my surprise, his second answer was his big brother, Tyler. His older brother is 10 and he too has played since he was 5. Tyler and his team has won the Super Bowl in our Tri- County organization for the past 3 years in a row. I am one proud mom of both my boys." (1 votes)
