11:43 AM ET 08.08 | Ben Roethlisberger's speedy recovery from his accident is just another example of the dedication and honest desire to play football that is found in every Steelers player. It is one of the few professional teams that has failed to disguist me in some way with regards to player behavior, contract decisions etc. Pittsburgh has had a history filled with ups and downs, including horrible seasons and super bowl wins. What is most impressive about the Steelers is not only the way the team is able to hold on to fans, players and coaches but the incredible character that all of them bring. Bill Cowher is not only a great coach, he is a family man of strong ideals and loyalty to his team. Pittsburghs retention of veterans such as Hines Ward as well as the dedication of new players including Roethlisberger speaks heavily of their honest principles, not to mention a fan base eager to follow the team whole heartedly through victory or defeat.
