Did you all see the the graphics shown last night of Huge Ben depicting all his injuries over the years. How can anyone claim he's durable? Longevity? Yes. Durability? not so much.
Yeah, every one says how tough he is. Who cares if you can't take the hit and keep playing. The most important thing a QB can be to his team is available.
So I watched the game last night, mostly because the late news went on after it. Talk about questionable play calling. I wonder if Scoobee still has a job?

In the post-#DeflateGate NFL, Patriots fans are looking for any and all evidence of other teams breaking the rules. On Thursday night, they thought they’d found some.
The CBS broadcast of the Ravens-Steelers game showed quarterback Ben Roethlisberger using what some thought was a smart phone. According to the Steelers, it wasn’t.
Team spokesman Burt Lauten tells PFT that Roehtlisberger was consulting his black, plastic wristband that contains the play calls for the game. Roethlisberger kept the wristband in his sweatshirt, removing the device throughout the game to examine it.
The explanation meshes with the images from the game. Besides, with the use of cellphones prohibited on NFL sidelines during games (even if they’re being used solely to block people on Twitter), common sense suggests that no one would be using one so blatantly and obviously during a game.
If any team understands this, it’s the Steelers. Four years ago, former Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu was fined $10,000 for using a cell phone during a game. The fine was overturned on appeal, based on the explanation that Polamalu (who had left the game in question with concussion-like symptoms) was simply calling his wife to tell her that he was fine.
Only things are illegal or questionable if your team name starts with pats and ends with riots.
You mean the same thing the rest of the league has been doing for years. That sure looks more like a cell phone then a wrist band .
Did anyone else notice this:

I got interested and check, The Patriots, and by extension BB, haven't lost 4 is a row since half way through 2002... About 204 games.... Oversight?
SSDD
I saw that and had to think about it for a bit. Those are coaches who never lost 4 games in a row at any point in their coaching career.
No kidding. He's only out a week and he's already getting fat.
Everyone's arm band has silver volume buttons on the side.
Right?
