A Ravens24x7.com Exclusive...
Mojo Rizon: Ben before we get into the more obvious questions, are you experiencing any negative repercussions from that motorcycle accident suffered a couple years ago?
Ben Roethlisberger: What motorcycle accident?
MR: I guess that answers that…You have been described by some of your detractors as, “a dumb redneck with money and a sense of entitlement.” How do you respond to that?
BR: I’ve never thought of myself as dumb. I mean I scored in double digits on the Wonderlic Test.
MR: Do you realize an average score is 20?
BR: Average score of what?
MR: Moving right along and while we’re on the subject of average… Ben you are an NFL quarterback, an NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, a former Pro Bowler and a two-time World Champion. You could have pretty much any girl you want with all that fame and fortune yet you have settled for some women with at best average looks and then prey on drunken college students. What the hell are you thinking?
BR: Well I’m probably not thinking much. Just hanging with my boys, having a few beers…I’m sure you’ve heard the expression, “She’s a 2 at 10 but a 10 at 2.”
MR: Rapper Eminem in his recent release Recovery takes a shot at you when he sings, "I'd rather turn this club into a bar room brawl, get as rowdy as Roethlisberger in a bathroom stall." How do you respond to that?
BR: He sounds like one of my fans to me. I don’t take that as a shot at all.
MR: Why the body guards Ben?
BR: Dude, are you kidding me? When that girl’s husband had me staring down the barrel of that Glock 17, that was an eye opener. I can’t have that. I’m the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I need protection off the field bro – God knows I don’t get any on the field.
MR: Speaking of which, your teammates have been very quiet with only one really coming to your defense publicly – Willie Colon. Are you bothered by that?
BR: Do you like everyone you work with Mojo? It’s a job, you know. I do mine, Willie does his, Hines does his, the end result is usually good. I don’t need to hang with them or be friends with them as long as we do our jobs.
MR: So you don’t think that these repeat incidents on your part will affect the Steelers’ locker room.
BR: Not as long as we’re winning. If we start losing I’m sure it will come back and bite me in the ass but if we win, my teammates, the Rooneys and the fans will all forget. I mean look at Tiger Woods. You want to talk about dumb. Wow! He had it all but he’s like a crack head when it comes to women yet America seems to have forgiven him. Here you have a good All-American guy in Phil Mickelson trying for to win that gold jacket at the Masters and he’s battling a dude that can’t keep it in his pants and the majority of the public was rooting for Tiger. That’s pretty bad ass.
Steelers’ fans won’t care. They’ll be wearing my jerseys and cheering as they always have when I take the field again.
MR: It's the green jacket...anyway let’s talk about that. You are suspended for at least four games. What if your team is 0-4 or 1-3 when you return? How do you think the fans will respond then?
BR: They’ll view me as a savior of sorts and realize that as Ben Roethlisberger goes, so to go the Pittsburgh Steelers.
MR: You’ve met with Commissioner Roger Goodell. You have said you will comply with the league’s punishment without a challenge. You’ve apologized to the fans, the league and your teammates. Why not the college student in Georgia, Nicole Biancofiore?
BR: We’ll get to that in time. Speaking of which, it’s Friday dude and you know what that means? It’s 5’oclock somewhere…
NOTE: This mock, fictional interview is intended only to highlight the gross sense of entitlement regularly practiced by the clown that wears No. 7 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Our regrets go out to the Rooney Family.

Mojo you could insert quite a few names from quite a few teams in that sense of entitlement that the professional athletes of today seem to have. I am in no way defending Ben, have never owned one of his jerseys and definitely would not now. I wish the Steelers would have traded him, take their chances that they drafted well when they drafted Dixon. Goodell was only half right when he said that it is a privilige to wear an NFL uniform... and Ben disrespected that privilege. It may be a privilege to play in the NFL but it is an honor and a privilege to play in the NFL wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey.
ReplyDeleteRavens fans are just so jealous of all those Lombardis in our trophy closet. Our guys can go out, get drunk, abuse women and still kick your a$$. What a bunch of sorry sacks of sh*t you guys are. We'll still beat you with Dixon, Leftwich, Rightwich, Sandwich, who cares we'll even take Bradshaw out of the studio and still beat you and you Ratbirds know it!
ReplyDeleteI love it, typical Steelers fan. No compassion for the people that were abused by that piece of trash Roethlisberger. And guess what, the team has only been around for 14 years...so how the hell do you expect the Ravens to have as many Lombardi trophies as the Squeelers? Also, if your team is so damn good, maybe you'd have a few more trophies if your players knew how to present themselves off the field. Your team is a bunch of thugs and trash.
ReplyDeleteIt's much better to be a typical Steelers fan than a typical Ravens fan. At least we have our teeth. Dentists in Baltimore could make a fortune if you weren't busy murdering each other and giving STD's to your sisters.
ReplyDeletelmao Hey dumb a$$ let's get this straight, the women in Baltimore are way better looking then the knuckle dragging women in Pittsburg, listen to former players and announcers and hear what they say about the redneck women, or as I have heard them called bafoons in Pittsburg. Your team is a bunch of thugs and morons- can't even get women have to rape them.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, you're the first Squealer fan I've ever seen call someone else toothless. Furthermore, you are one of the few idiots in Shitsburgh who's defended Rapistburger's actions. Now please, go back to your regularly scheduled Iron City drinking, and wife/cow beating.
ReplyDelete$20 says you don't even make the playoffs this year, Mmmmkay? Now, go back to under your rock in western PA.
