It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Yeah Ben tried getting retirement drunk and fugg it up the azz but Time jumped in and they both bent Ben over the bar and gave him the old Pittsburgh Yinzer salute.Retirement keeps flirting with Ben and Ben keeps telling it no. But retirement doesn't take no for an answer and keeps pressing onto Ben. Ben says NO again louder and more forcefully but it's no use. Retirement won't take no for an answer.
The results are 100% consistent with the talent and play of Roethlisberger.Wrong
Tomlin is a very lax HC and let the inmates run the asylum. Furthermore, Tomlin picked Coordinators that were volatile like Todd Haley. The losing lies squarely at Tomlins feet, but you can make up excuses as why Tomlin did not have his teams ready in the post season.
To be fair if you are going to blame Tomlin you need to blame ownership first. They like HCs like him and Cowher who are more 'rah rah leadership guys' than X and O guys. As far as letting the inmates run the asylum, that is par for the course in the NFL on most teams. Very few teams have strong HC leadership. Personally I don't think Tomlin is a bad coach, just not a good one. And if you want to give him blame for the Coordinators and other coaches under him, you also need to give him credit for the draft picks they made. Either he is just there are a figurehead with no weight, or he is a HC who exerts a certain amount of influence throughout the organization, even if the GM has the final say. He can't be wholly responsible for the one and in no way responsible for the other, as that just isn't how it works in football. Division of jobs matter, but either you give your HC some leeway to have power in the organization or he don't.Wrong

I have a feeling Aaron Rodgers will end up in Denver or Pittsburgh??

The Super Bowl they played against each other must be the most dramatic of all time, then.Because of the existence of Aaron R, Ben is only the second most dramatic current player in the league.
Can’t stand the guy. I’d love to see him flounder for a few more years.
Exactly right.The best was when all the Steelers fans around me were saying that after getting rid of ab and leveon they got rid of all the headcases. 3 years later they are still a team full of annoying idiots. There is a defenite cultural problem over there and even ryan clark / stephen a who are massive steeler guys are fed up with the team right now.
I do not expect a Maroney lover to have a grasp on reality.The results are 100% consistent with the talent and play of Roethlisberger.
As usual, I dismiss your uninformed opinions, because they are obtuse.
I'm hoping that the Jets sign him to a long term deal.
Technically, the reports are that this is Ben's "last year in Pittsburgh".
Everyone is just assuming that this means that he will retire, because he is fat, old, and can't play anymore.......

Like it or not Ben is a HOFer.
