I happened to run into Ben Roethlisberger at the Worldwide Headquarters of the Pittsburgh Steelers on the southside yesterday after doing "In the Locker Room with Tunch and Wolf" and kibitzed for a brief moment yesterday. Ben appeared fit and trim, ready to go, and anxious to kick-start his season.

From every personal encounter with Ben, to everything i've heard, I thought, I'm looking at a changed man. In going through difficult times, you tend to re-evaluate your life. You tend to look outside yourself, and the bubble you live in and take a gander from a different perspective. You learn about yourself. And then you do something about it.

The same thing has happened to the Steelers. They have learned about themselves as well. Whereas in the past, they might have tended to lean a little too heavily on #7, I think this team has learned they are more than a one-Ben pony. When you have a franchise QB, and he's got that "Something-something" with a little magic like Ben does, it's easy to drop a few mental intensity notches in the gourd and always believe in the power of 7 to pull your fannies out of the fire................
