Big Ben Tries to Charm Through Media Day

Filed under: , ,



ARLINGTON, Texas -- Tuesday, February 1, 2011.

You might forget this day, but Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback and legendary NFL knucklehead Ben Roethlisberger won't.

This was the greatest day for Roethlisberger since he survived smashing his head against the windshield of a car five years ago after he crashed his motorcycle while not wearing a helmet.

Actually, this was the greatest day for Roethlisberger since he avoided charges of allegedly raping a woman a year ago in Milledgeville, Ga., along the way to a six-game suspension by the NFL that was reduced to four. This was after he was named in a woman's civil suit two years ago in Nevada that claimed he sexually assaulted her.

Whatever the case, this was Media Day at Cowboys Stadium for Super Bowl XLV, where a sometimes awkward but mostly sincere Roethlisberger was successful during what he admitted to me was a deliberate attempt at gathering sympathy before many of the credentialed 5,000 folks for Sunday's game who wandered by his podium.

He had jokes.

Well, he tried.
