Brady was named MVP of Super Bowl XXXVI while throwing for 145 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions

Because of the FANS.

Ty Law won the media vote at the game.

We are in the big game. Screw the opinions of the rest of America. This guy may as well be from Outer Mongolia for all I care. Just another example of journalists thinking they really matter.

Who cares what they say? How does that effect us?

It doesn't and it doesn't matter. All these guys do is add fuel to the fire.

and the comments from Steelers fans agreeing with him. I'm really hoping they are just saying they are Steelers fans.

That is what shocked me the most. These can't be Steeler fans. They have to be posers that just want to climb on to the Steeler hater wagon.

Once Ben gets ring # 3, nothing the media or so-called "experts" say can tarnish the fact that Ben will have to be included amung the great QBs in the NFL.

Ben must be good or the Steelers would have gotten rid of him. He would be like Trent Dilfer. Yes, he would have a ring but he wouldn't have multiple chances ( with a great team ) to get more rings. If Ben were older ( like Dilfer ) he may have been dumped after his first SB. But it was only his 2nd year. Dilfer was near the end so he was definitely seen as a product of a great defense. The Steelers could see that eventually Ben would carry the Steelers. Just too much jealousy out there.

The writer and Cheat fans can be compared to a whore. They'll sleep with the best deal at the time. First they were Steeler backers because they wanted the Jets to lose the AFC game and now they are in the Packers corner.
The only winning Packer come Super Bowl Sunday will be the writer of this above posted news column and the Cheat fans. They can pack each others fudge when they see us hoist our seventh Lombardi trophy.

Sanchez out played Ben ? Ha ! Ben didn't have his best game and that can not be argued but, he did what it had taken to win. Sanchez's stats came from scrap yards and what, our prevent had given them along with Ike Taylor falling down.
Even in proffesionalism you can't get most reporters and annoucers to see and speak the truth.

Re: "Ben Roethlisberger’s a zero, not a hero"

What a pathetic POS article. It is obvious he didn't watch much of the game if he is just quoting the passer rating stat. Assclown.

Re: "Ben Roethlisberger’s a zero, not a hero"

Wow. Put Brady on this team and he would be on IR by the third game. What a crock of sh!t. Ben put us in SB XL, regardless of his performance in that game. Ben WON SB XLIII for us. The D gave the lead up in that game. The Steelers are not that good of a running team either.Ben won it. It is not Ben's fault that he has a good team around him. But the Steelers are NOT where they are without him. If this guy or anyone else does not recognze that, they are just blind to the truth, jaded, or just stupid.

Exactly… How many big games has Roethlisberger personally won for the Steelers? The number is truly staggering. In reality, with all the Steeler quarterbacks that I have viewed from 1975 to today, Roethlisberger is the only one that doesn’t cause my heart to sink to some degree when the game is on the line and a big play is required. Incidentally, I can’t fault the Patriots fans too much; they’re so new to the concept of tradition that if you mention anything pre-Brady they blank out and start muttering about the Red Sox and Celtics…

Brainiacs know this isn't journalism.

Re: "Ben Roethlisberger’s a zero, not a hero"

Ok,

I'm pretty sick about all this milledgeville stuff... i know they have to bring it up, but how about some transparency here.

Before the Jets game all I heard was "rapist this" and "rapist that"

Then i found this link:

Now this guy buries it deep in the column. At first he acts like he wants to just pick on Ben's less than fantasy worthy stats (when are they going to start keeping track of Wins? I guess its all about passer rating.) Then he brings it up in the lower third of the column. Gahhh.. Whose he want to beat Ben? Clay Matthews? Oh hrmmm...

Oh right... THAT Clay Matthews. I know the girls involved turned around and changed their story. But no one was arrested in GA either...

<sigh>

Sorry if this is off topic, but man it's just been bugging me. I'm sick of defending Ben. I think the guy is probably a creep, but all i ever want to talk about is his play on the field and all anyone else wants to talk about is off field stuff. You know why? Because his on field play is suberb. They all know it too.

Media week for Ben is going to be hell. I hope he keeps his cool.

Re: &quot;Ben Roethlisberger’s a zero, not a hero&quot;

Yeah, it sounds like someone is a little nervous that a current QB will tie Lord Brady for SB titles and is already setting up to minimize the accomplishment.

Uh, yeah, didn't Brady get 14 points of special teams support in the '01 AFCCG? He put up a whapping 10 points, so I guess, by this logic, SB36 shouldn't be credited to Brady's account.

Re: &quot;Ben Roethlisberger’s a zero, not a hero&quot;

Brady put up three points in Pittsburgh. He got hurt and Bledsoe took over.

Sorry, my bad. Wow, that's hilarious. I'm sure this guy has an "I can have it both ways" article out there somewhere.
