February 25, 2011 - Posing with Jim Kelly1194 viewsWarm smiles on a chilly day - Ben and Jim Kelly in Buffalo, NY after dining at "Pete's Place".

Funny story from the Buffalo News (March 5th edition):

"Big Ben in Little Valley"

Deputy Cattaraugus County Clerk Alan Bernstein had a brush with fame last week.

After opening his work area in the county center last Friday, Bernstein walked to the Department of Motor Vehicles office to get coffee. With a greeting to the clerks and some customers, he did a double-take at a very tall man at the counter.

â€œYou look just like Ben Roethlisberger,â€ a clerk said to the man, referring to the Pittsburgh Steelersâ€™ quarterback.

The man pushed his paperwork forward to register two snowmobiles, and the name on the form confirmed his identity.

â€œRoethlisberger just kept smiling at me,â€ Bernstein said. â€œThey said I squealed with delight, like a kid on Christmas. Iâ€™ve been a Steelers fan since I was a kid.â€

The quarterback, who was spending time at the Ellicottville home of former Billsâ€™ QB Jim Kelly and was seen leaving the center in a vehicle driven by Kelly, signed autographs and was very pleasant, Bernstein said.

Ben's Foundation at work1907 viewsFrom an article on February 23, 2011 at KTAR News in Phoenix:

The Phoenix Fire Department's urban search and rescue team will not go to New Zealand to help with earthquake recovery, but the team still spent Wednesday morning training its search dogs to deal with disasters.

A firefighter was lowered into a hole under concrete rubble in Tempe and it was up to a black lab named Big Ben -- after Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger -- to find the trapped man.

"Ben Roethlisberger actually donated dog food for a year and 15 annual physicals for our dogs," said Fire Capt. John Dean.

He noted Big Ben found his man in a matter of seconds, while it could have taken firefighters minutes or hours.

"Even with all the technology we have -- and we embrace it, we're always looking for new ideas and new things -- you just can't beat that dog and their nose, and they're nice to have around, too."

February 5th, 2011 - Garrett Cagle1067 viewsNot only did Garrett treat his friends to yummy "Terrible Towel" birthday cake at his Steelers-themed birthday party, but he also asked everyone to bring a canned food item for the food pantry at his church because he said "Ben would want us to do something good for other people".

He ended up collecting over 100 cans of food. Ben would be very proud of him!!

January, 2011 - Showing support from "the other side of the world"1727 views "I'm LTJG William L. Tschumy, USN, and I just wanted to share a photo of a buddy of mine from Flight School who also just so happens to be one of your team's greatest fans! His name is Lieutenant Junior Grade Bobby Telatovich, callsign, "Fun Bobby", United States Navy, and is currently forward deployed. Honestly, I'm sending in this picture because I'm not sure how those Terrible Towels made their way to the other side of the world, but they did, and I thought it would be cool to show the rest of America, and the world this picture of a Die Hard Steeler Fan! He's the dude on the right with the sunglasses, one of my best buds. Thank you!" -- LTJG TschumyFeb 02, 2011

I wanted to see if you would have the photo posted on the board at the field during the game. I just want to make a tribute to him. He works so hard and has been a loyal Steelers fan since he was 7 years old." -- Susan Ellis
