An Exclusive Interview with Ben Roethlisberger

**TL24x7** · 04-30-2010, 06:30 AM

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?

Comments like that are par for the course when it comes to Steeler fans. I am actually shocked when I read a comment from them that is objective and well thought out...

My only concern is for people at the public libraries in PA that are attempting to use the internet for legitimate purposes.

I have a question...where the hell did the term "Ratbird" come from? I've seen it for years, but have never understood why they chose that to be our derogatory nickname...it's cringe-worthy.

I am actually shocked when I read a comment from them, because I was not aware that they could read, yet alone write.

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.

Proves once again how that fan base is filled with inbred, classless hillbillies. Stay classy, Yinzers. And enjoy your asshole quarterback who gets drunk and abuses women. Your fan base deserves him.

I see it all the time on the Browns/Bengals boards. guess that was the best they could come up with. birds, negative, begins with RA...whatever.
interestingly, though there is no shortage of hate for us on the Browns boards, they hate the Stoolers more.
