Sorry this is a bit late; I misplaced my camera for about a week with all my images for my posts. Lets get to it now...
I figured all responsible parties would be doing their darnedest to make Big Ben look like an upright guy on the day of his big return to NFL play in the Steelers' Week 6 game against the Cleveland Brownies.
Did anyone else out there in TV land notice the overcompensation on part of the network in depicting B.B. as a resurrected hero?
Did anyone else notice that the commentators' reverent praise also had an unintended ulterior dimension of interpretation...? As in the kind of innuendo that reminds of you of Ben's off-season follies rather than having you forget about them?
Here are the quotes that I managed to write down while watching the game:
"You ask what R brings to the this offense...how 'bout an explosive weapon"
"Ben's pump fake makes his receivers open and extends the play"
"He already has pushed it to the edge. He continues to live on the edge."
"Talk about QBs being smart enough to say the play is over..."
"R is one of the best QBs in the NFL and his return makes the Steelers all the more dangerous"
"The slippery Roethlisberger" (after evading a pass rush)
After a incompletion thrown well over the head of Heinz Ward (the intended receiver), the commentators said that Heinz didn't move vertically enough, resulting in the incompletion.
After two consecutive bad passes the commentators comment on how consistent he is.
Best quote of the day came from R himself: "I have to learn to live to fight another day and not expose the ball". Yep, that's Life 101 dude.
