Big Ben and Wife are having a baby

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and wife Ashley are expecting a son later this year. Roethlisberger released the news on his official website Saturday afternoon.
Roethlisberger posted: ‘‘It is truly a blessing and we are so excited!’’

The Roethlisbergers were married just over a year ago in a small enclave north of Pittsburgh in a quiet ceremony attended by a sizable contingent from the organization.

Congrats, Ben and Ashley!

Does he name the kid after Terry Hoeppner or Bruce Arians?

Hmm. No way he names him Terry. Too many folks would think of the wrong Terry in Pittsburgh.

Hoeppner Arians Roethlisberger. That flows trippingly off the tongue.

wonder if Haley has met with the baby doctor yet?

I don't know how far along she is.. but if the baby comes early .. this could interfere with Super Bowl preparation!!

Roethlisberger’s wife pregnant with boy

The Steelers might have found their quarterback of the future.

Ben Roethlisberger and his wife, Ashley, are pregnant with a son, the couple announced Saturday on the Steelers quarterback’s website.

“Ashley and I are proud to let you all know that we are expecting a baby boy later this year!” Roethlisberger wrote. “It is truly a blessing, and we are so excited!”

Roethlisberger declined further comment through his agent, Ryan Tollner.

The Roethlisbergers were married last July in a private ceremony at Christ Church at Grove Farm in Ohio Township. They held a private reception at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Downtown.

It’s been a busy offseason for Roethlisberger. The two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback turned 30 in March and graduated in May from Miami (Ohio) with a bachelor’s degree in education. He was four courses short of graduation when he declared himself eligible for the NFL Draft in 2004.

He since has become one of the most successful quarterbacks in the league, leading the Steelers to victories in Super Bowls XL and XLIII. He has thrown for 26,579 yards — 1,410 shy of Terry Bradshaw’s franchise record — and 165 touchdowns in eight seasons.

We all know that the Steelers are nefarious for their nepotism in seeking out unqualified winners of the sperm lottery like Art Rooney II, Todd Haley, and potentially now Ben Roethlisberger Jr.

Add Tom Donahoe to the list too. His grandfather was close to the Chief and they knew Tom since BIRTH.

Does Bruce Arians have a son?
