Hello everyone!
The team and I just landed in Denver and its beautiful here. The flight here was good, a little bumpy because of the wind, but other than that it was a smooth trip. The weather is awesome and the mountains get even more amazing every time I see them. We are on our way to the hotel right now and later a couple of us are going to go grab some dinner. Thanks so much to Ruth's Chris for having us for dinner!
I know that everyone is excited for the game because it seems like we haven't played a game in a long time, and it's the Sunday Night Game which is always a little more special. I've heard that the weather might be changing here overnight. They are predicting 30 degrees and snow which is a big change from the weather we have been playing in so far. Well, we are pulling up to the hotel now so I've got to go. I hope everyone enjoys the game and we can bring home a victory.
Talk to you all soon,
Ben Roethlisberger

Hello everyone, it's Sunday the 14th and I'm at my parent's house watching some of the football games that are on today. Right now we are watching the Patriots vs Cowboys game.
This was a great weekend for me, my family and friends. We went to my alma mater, Miami U of Ohio for Homecoming Weekend. It was a lot of fun to be back and I was lucky enough to get my college jersey retired on Saturday. It was a great honor to be there and to have some of my friends, teammates, my family and the Hoeppner family all together for the ceremony. It was great to see Miami beat up on BGSU like we used to do when I was there! Congrats to Coach Montgomery, the coaching staff and the team.
Well, I am going to get back to watching the game, so everyone enjoy the rest of their weekend. I hope to talk to you all this weekend as we travel to Denver.

Hello all, I am on the bus now headed over to Cardinal Stadium. I figured during this blog I would give you all a little glimpse into what the trip is like for me. Once we land we get on the bus and head straight to the hotel.
There are always a ton of Steeler fans in the lobby and outside the hotel when we arrive. The hotel people say that we have more fans than any other team. (Thank you Steeler fans!) After I take my bag to my room I head to a production meeting (where we basically talk to the guys that are announcing the game on TV so that they have some inside information to use when they talk during the game). Once I got done with that I went to dinner at Morton's with my agent and his fiance and my two buddy's Brad and Greg.
After dinner I had to go to a QB meeting to talk about any last minute plays I like or don't like. After the QB meeting, we have an offensive meeting and then a team meeting. Once the team meeting was over I went up to my room and watched the end of the crazy college game day. I made some phone calls and then went to bed. Today I got up, packed up my bag, took a shower, got dressed and now I'm sitting on the bus headed to the stadium. Well, as everyone knows this is a big game for me personally. I have to make sure I don't try and do too much. Please wish us luck and cheer as loud as you can.
I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to writing to you all again very soon. Take care and God bless!
P.S. Congrats to Miami, Ohio and Indiana on great wins yesterday!

Hello all, I hope that everyone is doing well and is ready for the season to start. I am certainly ready and glad the preseason is finally over. Right now we are on the bus almost to the hotel in Cleveland. We always bus to Cleveland because it’s so close. I can actually see the hotel now, so soon a couple of us will be going to dinner like we always do on the road trips.
Anyway I guess I better get going, hope everyone enjoys the game tomorrow.

Hello everyone,
I hope this recent blog finds everyone doing well and getting excited for training camp and the season. I know it has been awhile since I have been on here to let you all know what’s been going on with me. There’s been a lot this off-season...
Recently, I have been to the ESPY's in LA, played in the American Century Golf Classic in Lake Tahoe with Carson Palmer, Vinny Testaverde, Ray Romano, Vinny Del Negro and others, and went to my sister’s graduation in Findlay (just to name a few things).
Camp is just a week away now, and I am ready as ever. I have been studying my playbook to get used to our changes on offense, and have been working out more than usual to get ready. Many people ask how I’m feeling physically, so I want everyone to know I’m in great shape and my body really feels better than ever. I am currently weighing around 243 lbs, which I feel is the perfect weight for me to report at.
We all know that this camp is going to be a lot different than years past, but I think that we’re ready for the challenge. We’ll go out and give it all we have with the plan of bringing another Super Bowl title back to you the fans.
Well I have to take off now, but I hope that everyone is well and please come see us at training camp in Latrobe......and p.s., I will do all I can at camp to sign a bunch of autographs, but please understand that if I can’t get to you that I didn’t avoid you on purpose. I’m on a tight schedule in Latrobe, but I appreciate the support of the fans.
Take care all...

Hello everyone! I'm finally back, and I am thankful for all of your continued support. It means more than you know. For those of you that have been on the site before, and for all the newcomers, I hope you enjoy the newly designed site and all it has to offer. There are some pretty cool things to buy in the store, and I want the forum to be a fun place to interact with people. Please remember that there are kids visiting the site also, so let's keep the comments clean and respectful... many thanks.
I hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and got to eat a lot of great food. I certainly did, as my parents, grandma and sister came over to my house for a few days. It was a definite treat. I hope that everyone is looking forward to Christmas now, because I am... I have seen so many people out decorating their houses. Yes, I even put up my lights already, but I need to go to the store and get some more.
Please keep coming back to the site. I plan to do some more fun things like get some pictures back up from my cell phone, since that seemed to be a pretty big hit before. So anyway, I hope that everyone is doing well and I'll be back here soon with another update. See you soon...
