Ben talking about retirement day two of camp:

He is no Tee Martin either. Then again ...

 

Tee was drafted ahead of Tom Brady, and he only needs to throw 456 more TD passes to catch Brady's career total. Who knows he might quit as OC at Southern Cal to resume his career.

 

I would absolutely be and for weeks.

 

My thought exactly. Just said that to the guy next to me then read your post.

 

I am done with this board! I never thought I would see the day someone mentioned Tom Brady being a Steeler. I must now go out and lick the dogs hindquarters to get that taste out of my mouth.

 

taking up Ravens fans past-times now?

 

Yes but for totally different reasons!

 

You took the words right out of my head. When isn't he one. Every little tiny injury he is that way during the season. Love the QB, but not sure I would go party with the guy. I mean maybe I would just to say I've done it. You get what i'm saying

 

If I've told you once, I've told you hundred times, quit licking the dog.

Although, I do use my dog to dry my hands from time to time.

 

wheres the wife, i'm getting a little excited now.

 

And it was the auto race at Kennywood

 

damian stafford, what a drama queen.

 

Ben is going into his 14th season. Has been hit every way possible including head butting a Chrysler New Yorker without a helmet. He's won 2 Superbowls and has appeared in 3. Would be more if the proven Cheaters hadn't been in the way a few times. He is recently married with 2 kids that he would like to raise without being in a wheel chair or forgetting their names in 2 more decades.

Is he a drama queen? Sometimes but I think he is seriously considering this to be his last season. While not reaching the level of success that he wanted to comparatively to Bradshaw. If he could manage to take this team all the way this season and win a season MVP or even Superbowl MVP. I think he walks away in a heart beat.

Failure to reach that peak, I still think he pulls a Barry Sanders and walks away from the game even though there is probably a lot left in the tank. Hope I'm wrong but that's just my gut feeling.

Like it or not, it is time to seriously find Ben's suitable replacement cause I remember the years between Bradshaw and Roethlisberger and they were nothing to write home about.

 

The fact that he takes such care shows he is clearly scared, worried about his family, and still hasn't learned to check down properly.

WHY DO YOU TORTURE US BEN

 

There's a rumor floating out there that Flacco is thinking about retiring also. I guess between the back and knee he's pretty beat up. He's been fighting back issues for a few years now I guess. Also I guess his wife wants him to retire.

 

1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s Steelers football was fun. But yes, Super Bowls are better.

 

I wanted to like this but then I wondered if that made me strange?

 

Would be a perfect match. Brady always wins in Pittsburgh.

 

Wow, that will be a huge loss for the Steelers if it happens. Ben's a HOFer.

 

Ben is one tough hombre, but he has a HUGE EGO also. We will miss him when he is gone.
I hope the Steelers mgmt has been scouting his replacement? 6-10 7 & 9 don't cut it around here.

 

When do you think the Pats will start looking for Brady's replacement? Also do you think Bill will leave when Brady does or vice versa?
