Retirement memes:

Should this be his last, he’ll finish his career with 64,088 passing yards, 418 touchdowns, two Super Bowl wins and enshrinement in Canton ahead.

“I’ve been here a long time, and it’s been a lot of fun,” he said. “Like I said, God has blessed me … It was meant to be that I was going to wear black and gold. Draft day I had a black suit on with a gold tie. I’m just so thankful. I hope that I’m able to pass the legacy of what it is to be a Steeler from Dan Rooney.”

Motorcycle injury:

Steelers star Ben Roethlisberger, the youngest quarterback to lead a team to the Super Bowl championship, broke his jaw and nose in a motorcycle crash Monday in which he was not wearing a helmet.

The reason the Steelers and most teams don’t put specific language into contracts about off-the-field accidents is that they don’t feel it’s necessary.

Draft Day:

In 2004 NFL Draft. Miami University’s Roethlisberger was taken 11th overall, after the Browns selected Winslow out of the University of Miami at No. 6. Recollections last week from former Browns assistant coach Terry Robiskie won’t ease that angst.

The NFL Management Council has advised teams to use the phrasing “for any reason” in regards to a player who defaults on his contract because of an injury suffered outside of football.

Did retire:

Ben Roethlisberger did not formally retire following the Steelers’ 42-21 loss to the Chiefs in Sunday night’s AFC wild card round. But the 18-year veteran all but confirmed that he has played his final down as Pittsburgh’s quarterback.

A somber Roethlisberger spoke openly about his career shortly after completing his 272nd NFL game and 23rd playoff game. Roethlisberger threw for 215 yards and two touchdowns in what was likely the final game of his sure-fire Hall of Fame career.
