Am I a Steeler fan – Hell YES! Am I a fan of the NFL in general – HELL NO! Like any other large and money drunk organization it has slowly become corrupt to the point of ridiculousness. It’s not the players but the legions of hanger-on’s making millions of dollars for themselves and effecting the game in more way’s than I even realize. I keep hearing about how unfair some of the officiating has become and the powers-that-be are investigating. How about a little transparency for all of us dumb-ass fans. I want to know the results of the investigations and what corrective measures that were taken. For sure I’m not “holding my breath” on that happening.

Now that my rant has been completed I’ll be posting information that might interest the true Steeler fans out there. I’ve obtained a book recently with trivia facts about the team I’ve never heard before. I find it interesting that this book was published by a true British Steeler fan – Chris Bradshaw and I’m reasonably sure he’s no relation to Terry. This first quiz concerns only questions concerning Big Ben. Answers will be listed below. Let’s get to it . . .

• In what year did Roethlisberger make his debut withe the Steelers?

• How old was Ben when he won his first Superbowl?

• Roethlisberger was the fourth quarterback to win 100 of his first 150 NFL starts. Who were the other three?

• Roethlisberger made a cameo appearance in which 2012 superhero movie?

• Ben was one of four quarterbacks taken in the first round of his NFL Draft class. Name the other three.

• What is Ben’s middle name?

• Roethlisberger threw for a franchise-record 522 yards during a 2014 win over which AFC rival?
