Big Ben is gonna be okay
Seems like everybody wants to be Big Ben Roethlisberger these days, and why not? A few years ago, Pittsburgh native Brian Jackson impersonated the Steelers’ quarterback (as well as backup Brian St. Pierre and tight end Jerame Tuman) to get dates and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and ordered to get his brain checked out. Now it seems another Roethlisberger imposter is on the loose.
A Twitter user claiming to be Big Ben posted this yesterday:
“I am sorry to all my friends cause I have not been on here in a while. As you may soon find out, I have been diagnosed with skin cancer. It is not too serious, but will need further attention. This has taken up most of my time. I will try to get on here more. I would appreciate your prayers!”
No worries, football fans — Roethlisberger cleared the confusion today by saying he’s fine and that he doesn’t have a Twitter account. Anyway, all joking aside, it’s good that Big Ben is healthy. And who creates a fake Twitter account to announce he has cancer? Ray Lewis?
