I think you'll likely see Turner and Wall split some of those awards. You can't go wrong either way. Turner certainly did more with less. Regarding Big Ben, I was bartending last night and this guy that the spitting image of Roethlisberger was one of my customers. As I work in a hotel bar, I was joking that he needed to stay the hell away from me. Two other guys sitting at the bar were Steelers fans and got a good chuckle out of it, until they realized they might no longer have their franchise quarterback. They both agreed that Big Ben was in Big Trouble. Al… I think you’ll likely see Turner and Wall split some of those awards. You can’t go wrong either way. Turner certainly did more with less.

While he demands a ton of respect as likely the greatest football player ever, you'd have to think there are tons of modern players who would like to knock his block off.

That was a Top Ten night. I remember that guitar player kept looking at me holding up that Quiet Please sign. I kept having to reassure him I wasn't talking about him. Props are always handy.
