There seems to be a lot of chatter out there about Ben Roethlisberger’s complicated legacy. In reality, it is not all that murky or thorny or tricky or any of the other adjectives being used by writers from coast to coast. This isn’t a case of a player being great on the field and a jerk off it.
Roethlisberger is a douche who also happened to be an okay quarterback for like half of his career. His real legacy will be getting rejected by freaking Stormy Daniels and then scaring the bejesus out of her in 2006.

The story of the passer and the porn star is legendary. And, of course, it involves Donald Trump. It starts shortly after she finishes banging the incompetent traitor. Here is what Daniels told In Touch about meeting Big Ben:
We were still in the bedroom. We hung out for a little while and he just kept saying, “I’m gonna call you, I’m gonna call you. I have to see you again. You’re amazing. We have to get you on.” I ended up leaving and the next night I saw him again at a party. It was in the downstairs of the hotel I was in and he was hanging out with Ben Roethlisberger. When I got there, he was already with him. He had Keith, his bodyguard, call me and ask me if I was coming. When I got there, I called Keith and he told me where he was sitting and he brought me over. And he was hanging out with Ben for a long time. A couple other people around, nobody famous. Mostly people trying to hang on to them. Ben had just won the Super Bowl that year. Donald excused himself. He had to leave, I don’t remember why, and he made Ben promise to take care of me. I stayed another 15-20 minutes and Ben Roethlisberger actually walked me up to my room that night because Donald told him to. Yeah, he walked me all the way to my hotel room.
There are two takeaways from this. Firstly, Trump saying Daniels is amazing after sex and saying he needs to see her again is such a beta cuck move. Secondly, the failed reality star had to have told Roethlisberger he plowed the porn star the night before and the quarterback is knowingly after his sloppy seconds. Anyway, let’s pick back up with the story which she finished in her book (via CNN):
She says he asked her for a “good night kiss.” She refused. She says he pushed lightly on her door as they stood outside her hotel room. “I was terrified. I am rarely terrified,” Daniels wrote, saying Roethlisberger responded, saying, “‘Come on.'” She closed the door and writes that Roethlisberger “stood outside, not leaving” while knocking at her door for several minutes but eventually left.
That is Ben Roethlisberger’s legacy. He’s the dude who begged for Donald Trump’s sloppy seconds and couldn’t get them. Come on, indeed.

Ben Roethlisberger’s on field legacy
That story of Roethlisberger getting shot down by Stormy Daniels mirrors the past decade or so of his career. The quarterback’s entitlement and selfishness must have been terrifying for Pittsburgh Steelers fans to watch. Especially as the passer’s arm devolved into the limpest of limp noodles.
Big Ben treats his coaches like crap when they ask him to make changes. He is an awful teammate who throws other guys under the bus in the most hypocritical fashion. And in the 10 seasons since reaching the Super Bowl in 2011, Pittsburgh has made the playoffs on six occasions.
However, this wasn’t a case of an AFC team being held down by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Only once in that span did Big Ben face them. Naturally, it ended in a loss.
Who knows what the Steelers could have achieved had the face of the franchise not been such a douche? Ben Roethlisberger’s legacy is being the guy who couldn’t seal the deal with a porn star willing to have sex with bologna tits Donald Trump and the quarterback who has spent ten seasons being irrelevant because he thought he was smarter than everyone else.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
