Is anyone else grossed out by the glowing farewell tributes to Ben Roethlisberger?

3. I missed the pregame show

He might be a jerk, but he had a magnificent career, although he embarrassed himself this year and should have retired last year or before.

Whatever accolades he gets from the commentators are deserved and are given whenever a player of his stature reaches the end of his career.

And I say this as an Oakland Raider fan who's hated the Steelers ever since they beat the Raiders in the 'Immaculate Reception" game. If there was instant replay in place for the refs back then, that play would have been overturned and the Raiders would have gone to the Super Bowl that year.
