What? That's legitimate news. Big Ben Hamilton (who I wanted the Steelers to draft a few years ago to replace Jeff Hartings) is now a Seattle Seahawk.

[FlaccoFlicker]

you try to rick roll us man lol

[thewarden86]

BTW - No one has responded to it yet on the Steelers forum. But I'm waiting.....rather impatiently. lol

[AwakenTheDemon]

Yeah, I was wondering how ESPN would have scooped NFL.com on a Ben [i]Roethlisberger[/i] trade, heh. Plus, I hadn't even heard of Pittsburgh talking with Seattle, only the Rams and Raiders.

[Ed_Reed20]

Well played Warden. I was flipping between ESPN and NFLN wondering how they han't broke the story.

Thank you. Thank you very much. One of the MODs over at Steelers Fever was laughing his butt off because our younger fan base is freaking out about all the news.

I got duped so I'm just paying it forward. lol

Man, who changed that title? Totally ruins the joke for everyone.

Don't get me started. Someone with nothing better to do. Let's put it that way.

I like your style

[AwakenTheDemon]

Yeah, he's pretty "spirited" if I do say so myself.

[raylewisjr]

oh geez...I thought you were talking about another article I just came across today that took place in Seattle. [url="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/04/22/federal-air-marshal-charged-raping-woman-airport-hotel/"]Click Here for Link.[/url]

Sadly when i read this the first thing I thought was "Big Ben is getting in the air marshal business now that he is suspended."

Thx...all my friends from Western PA got a kick out of it (I put a stupid post on facebook relating the two) I am just surprised that most of them over there are sick of him and want him gone. I figured they would love ben no matter what he did, considering he did get them 2 rings.

Most of the fans I talk to think they'd be nuts to trade him. But a poll I saw in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette said that 75% wanted him gone. There were several thousand voters. All I can think is that those number represent the older crowd and folks from other cities (none Steelers fans).

[J-man]

This just gives me another reason you beat you up, Warden.

[Moderator 2]

I was watching the sports on WBAL and they were in the 'Burgh and they showed a big building with "Trade Ben" in each of the windows, all his jersey's were 75% off--its nuts

Yea, the fans are pretty upset with him. I expect that to motivate him (along with everything else).

[McBurks]

It's still possible they could trade for him.

It's really not. They were never shopping him and no one has anything worth it for the Steelers.

If they were to trade him now it would be a case of cutting off their nose to spite their face. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed that he's suspended for one of our games 'cause it takes a little bit of the edge off; and I like to see us maul him.

[Militant X 1]

nice try!
