If Ben Roethlisberger is engaged to be married, he doesn't want to talk about it. But a lot of other people do.

The social media have been all a-Twitter with congratulations for the Steelers quarterback, who purportedly popped the question to a young woman from New Castle over the Christmas holidays.

I do agree, Preacher, but at this point, they had may as well just come out with it because they are going to be hounded either way. Ben has always done a supurb job job of protecting his family and no doubt will do the same for her. I just hope she's really ready for what's going to hit her when it does become official.

I can't say I have great faith that the marriage will last - I don't know if Ben is really ready to settle down (Prove me wrong, Ben!) - but Ashley is as cute as a baby button and I wish them nothing but wealth, health and happiness. Congratulations and warm wishes to them both.

My only question about all this is if they were off and on while she was still in college how is the is the first we've heard of it... wait.. nevermind, Ben has always been good about trying to protect the privacy of those who are closest to him [family/friends etc].

Yeah, I know. She doesn't look like a coug YET, but give it a couple years. Her face just strikes me as one that's in a transitional period, if you know what I mean. Maybe you don't. She's not BAD looking, but I still vote for doing supermodels up the butt. At the very least, he could've impregnated Brady's wife. If Matt Cassel managed to, I'm sure Ben could too.
