big deal for BIG BEN
« on: March 04, 2008 - 09:30:11 AM »
Dan Rooney opened his wallet to sign Ben Rothlisberger to an 8 year deal for some 108million dollars,   :money: WOW 36 mil gauranteed with a 25 mil bonus. But, with the loss of Alan Faneca there surely are some holes on that offensive line to protect that investment. So, looks like Ben will be a Steeler his entire career.   :woo: :clapping:

When Dan opened his wallet, it created quite a dust storm here in Pittsburgh! :smilielol:

I hope they wrote a claus in his contract about riding a motorcycle without a helmet. :misbehaving:

They didn't.  :screwy:

I just hope Ben lives long enough. With no line in front of him, he will be running for his life on every passing play.   :eek7:

We also signed a good back, Moore from the Vikes. He's a quickie too. Now we need to draft some horses for the O line.  GO STEELERS .  :cheers:

Jim,

   Moore was their third stringer. Can he block 3 guys?   :1zhelp:

No, but he can run................I'll say he'll see limited play, a scat back.............3rd.down situations, screens. No he's not a Jerome, but I think he can contribute.....................  :dunno:

Interesting, given all the playoff games Peyton has lost.   :screwy: Not to mention one of them to Ben.   :poopoke:

9'rs just re signed Alex Smith for 2 years. But I bet they will still be in the basement again next year.
