I talked to Ben Roethlisberger on Friday for about 10 minutes deep inside the bowels of St. Benedict Hall on the campus of St. Vincent College.
I posted a couple stories, but I figured to throw out the entire Q&A so you can read the entire conversation.
Enjoy!

KABOLY: I know you had injuries to the your foot, knee and shoulder last year. How are you feeling this year?
ROETHLISBERGER: “It’s amazing when people ask how I feel. To miss the game that I missed last year, which was more than I missed in a long time, but I feel great. It doesn’t make much sense that I would feel as good as I do with the injuries. Everything healed up pretty well. We took the right amount of time. The doctors, the trainers really helped. I feel really, really good.”

KABOLY: You’ve mentioned that your shoulder will eventually need some work done?
ROETHLISBERGER: “I think every thrower potentially – that is what Dr. (James) Bradley tells me. My dad was a college quarterback and his shoulder … anybody that throws … I think we did a number count and I throw about 500-700 footballs a day. That’s a lot of throws. Anybody who does that repeatedly with their arm is going to need something. The way it feels now, it feels great. I hope I never need shoulder surgery, but if I do I hope it will be way down the road.”
