pretty cool show. I knew that he sat behind the head coach's son until his senior year, but I did not know that he threw eight TD passes in one game in high school. Cool stat.

One thing we can take from this is that there are worse announcers than Chrisy Collinsworth out there.

I don't think I've ever seen a person (BR) look so different in 15 years. (And I've coordinated more than 450 high school reunions the past 20 years.)

I mean, if you saw that photo of him from HS - and there was no connection to football, Steelers, Findlay, Ohio, etc. - you'd never guess it was him.
 
Eight TD passes in one game? Shoot, that's better than Al Bundy.

Age, weight, and having your face readjusted by a Chrysler will do that to you.
 
watching that video cracked me up. I would hate going to a restaurant with Ben- waiter: Hey big guy what will you have for lunch today? Ben: Give me a minute I'm trying to make a decision Waiter: no problem. 8 minutes later Waiter: have you made up your mind yet? Ben: How is the ribeye, is it good? Waiter: Yeah, its the best thing on the menu how would you like that cooked? Ben: Oh, I'm not sure I want to commit to a ribeye just yet, give me another minute. 4 minutes later Waiter: Sir we are closing the kitchen in a few minutes so you will need to let me know what you want. Ben: You know I see that you have lots of appetizers, can we get some calamari? Wait no, Onion rings, wait, do we get free rolls here? At O'Charleys they always bring us free rolls. Waiter: Please for the love of God make up your mind, we don't have free rolls. Ben: Are you giving me pressure? because I can handle pressure, hell I can hold onto this menu for another 20 minutes. Ok, I want the ribeye medium well.

Old videos are always a blast to watch. Fate had us come together, the STEELERRS and Ben Rothlesberger!!!




Salute the nation
 
Just watched the video, and it looks like he still plays the same from time to time. We have been watching playground ball from his senior year in high school for a long time.
 
He looks a lot bigger and older but I certainly don't think he's unrecognizable.

He certainly plays almost exactly the same, except back then he was more spry. That was fun to watch, thanks! :)
