On the eve of the greatest football game the Browns may never go to, it is hard for me to understand why people still question Ben Roethlisberger when it comes to his partying & womanizing ways! It is not Big Ben's fault that college chicks & casino hostesses alike fall head over heals for this charmer; and then try to capitalize later off their magical encounter (here is a picture of one of Big Ben's hotties). It should be apparent to everyone that this guy is a reformed man and model citizen?!?!? I mean the dude left a $200 tip (25% of his total bill) at Pete's Dueling Piano Bar and was "nice, fun and took care of everyone" according to TMZ (my preferred sports news website).
Putting his personal life aside, Big Ben has quite the track record when looking at his NFL accomplishments. He is only 28 years old and has already accomplished more in terms of the playoffs & championships than Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, & Jim Kelley combined. Ben's got the intangibles that can't be taught and is built like an ox.
With all this being said, I am still picking the Green Bay "Canned Meat Packers" to win Super Bowl 45. These two teams seem to be as evenly matched as they come. The Packers are on a roll and have been for the past 6 weeks (I am including the 4 point loss to the Patriots sans Aaron Rogers). They have the hottest QB in all of football and are finally showing some flashes of a run game. The Steelers do have the experience that Green Bay is lacking, but the overall team talent greatly favors the Packers. Once they are completely healthy, the Packers should dominate the NFL over the next few years!
My pick: Packers 24, Steelers 16
Go Packers
