b'Ben Roethlisberger\\u2019s soul-baring comments have the feel of a man looking himself hard in the mirror, examining every scar, recognizing that some were self-inflicted, but accepting the long journey and the many mistakes it to get here. He\\u2019s not only still standing, but the better for it. Roethlisberger sounds like he\\u2019s stepping up for one last stand \\u2013 a career comeback that could become legend. Just maybe, another championship. The Steelers\\u2019 7th\\xa0\\u2013 the same number emblazoned across Big Ben\\u2019s broad chest. Wouldn\\u2019t that be poetic, Pittsburgh? After all, who wants perfect heroes? Perfect people don\\u2019t have to scratch, claw and strive. In Pittsburgh, we like the scratchers. Ben bears all the scars, all the dents and dings, the knocks to his reputation. But he\\u2019s still standing. He\\u2019s owned up to it all. Now he\\u2019s ready to move on. I respect the hell out of that. As a football fan, I just have a feeling this season could be special because Big Ben now knows just how special every down really is.
