That shot to the jaw that Big Ben took looked like it hurt man. Jaws is one of my favorite movies ever. Sharks are pretty wild man I love it

The Steelers are red hot right now man. The melting point of steel is 2,718 °F. They better watch out or they're going to melt man

Jon Gruden @ Faux_Gruden 19h

I love when Gronk spikes the ball man. I used to have a dog

named Spike when I was a kid. He played fetch like no other. I miss that dog man

Jon Gruden @ Faux_Gruden 17h

Show me a movie with nothing but football teams running

Spider 2 Y Banana, and I'll show you the greatest movie of all time man

Jon Gruden @ Faux_Gruden 3d

Man, I had a trick or treater come to my house in a Spider 2 Y Banana costume. I gave him all the candy in my bowl man. Best costume ever

Jon Gruden @ Faux_Gruden 4d

Man, the Saints run Freezer Burn X 45 Tommy Pickles like no other team. I could watch them run that play for 24 straight hours man

Jon Gruden @ Faux_Gruden 27 Oct

Man, if Jimmy Graham ever came out with some Jimmy

Graham Crackers, that would be wild. I'd use them to make

S'mores man. I love campfires

Jon Gruden @ Faux_Gruden 26 Oct

Man wouldn't it be wild if an actual eagle was a Cardinals

fan, or an actual cardinal was an Eagles fan. That would just blow my mind man

One of the game-used balls from Big Ben's 500-yard Sunday against the Colts has been added to the display collection at the NFL Hall of Fame

Against Indianapolis, Roethlisberger became the first player in

NFL history to throw for 500-yards twice in a career. Here's a look at the ball (top) and where it sits in the Pro Football Today display (bottom, right, next to the ball from the 700th Monday Night Football game).

USA Today:

According to ESPN Fantasy‘s Tristan Cockroft, who apparently has impressively calculated fantasy football stats from decades before there was ever fantasy football, Roethlisberger’s past two games gave him the highest back-to-back scoring performance ever for a fantasy quarterback. Using their scoring system, Roethlisberger’s combined outings were worth 79 points to owners over the past two weeks, surpassing Michael Vick’s 74 point showing in Weeks 9 and 10 of the 2010 season and Tom Brady’s 73 points put up during his 11 touchdown combo in 2007.

XN Sports:

Ben Roethlisberger, over his downright silly two-game, 12-touchdown stretch, has posted 0.96 fantasy points per attempt (FPAT). That’s ludicrous. It’s ungodly, unholy, unmentionable in mixed company. My eyes bulge when I see a quarterback is notching 0.50 FPAT. Peyton usually posts something around a 0.60 FPAT. Nearly one fantasy point per attempt? It’s ridiculous on every level.

Who would have thought this exact Bal at Pit game would end up a Bal at Pit rematch in the 1st R of the playoffs?
