    With all the QBs getting national commercial deals, Peyton, Eli, Cam, Aaron, etc. Does Ben have any local Pittsburgh commercials? Lord knows you rarely see him nationally!

    He had a recent cameo in a Nike commercial, so there's that.

    That's the spot I was thinking of when I said you rarely see him in a national spot. As big a star as he is, he must do a lot of local stuff?

    I remember the fathead one and the ESPN one early in his career ..I think after the whole rape allegation thing he sorta dropped off the radar for awhile ..

    He did that one Sportcenter commercial where he saved everybody during the fire drill early on, but I haven't seen much locally since the allegations. He does do spots on local radio though.

    He does some local car commercials on radio. But the rape allegations have made him less attractive to advertisers looking to sell to woman.

    A lot of people still believe he committed some form of sexual assault (me included), so he's not a guy you want to really market your product around. Those allegations have cost him millions I bet

    I seen a list of top paid athletes a couple months ago and they had Big Ben earning something like 2.5 Million last year in endorsements. I haven't seen him in much, must be local stuff.

    He does not do too much locally here like one poster said
    about car dealership. You do know that if he finishes out this contract,
    that the Steelers organization (Rooney's)will have paid him over 200 million dollars.
    Maybe Ben thinks that this has been enough to live on, care for his family? LOL
