Shame. - 4

How many NFL stars can be put to shame? Don't even get me started. We all know the infamous story of Michael Vick. But Sometimes reputation covers up somes faults. I am a die hard steelers fan, but i'm also a journalist and my job is to tell you what you need to know. We all know Ben Roethlisburger. The steelers amazing quarterback, one might even say he's in the top five of what he does. But does anyone know what he's like off the field? Being a quarterback one would think "Oh! the playmaker! Hes gotta be pals with the whole team!" But Santonio Holmes and Hines Ward would disagree. The two pittsburgh players say that Ben is socially ackward and rarely ever is socially active with the team off the field but if you though it couldn't get better, it does. Ben has always been known for his victories on the field. Most know about how the steelers lead in superbowl wins. But most forget about that motorcycle accident in 2006 or the two recent sexual assult charges? Yes. Interesting what a good rep could cover up. Though Ben's mistakes could ruin one of the best teams reputations. The request for Ben's DNA is no longer here but the charges still stand. you might ask what does his team think about him? Well he hasn't been proven guilty but when they asked Mike Tomlin (head coach) he responded “He’s a ridiculous competitor. A good guy. A guy that wants to win. A guy that doesn’t mind toting the burden that comes with being the quarterback of our football team. Really, what you see is what you get, from my perspective.” But the fact is all he could talk about is ben's performance. No one knows what ben does on the weekends and a player that has no social relations with the team doesn't even sound like some one who's on the team. One of the best QB's on one of the best teams may have just ruined it's Rep.
