Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ben Roethlisberger is a person who can be viewed in two very different lights. In one light, he is a true professional football player. He is a tough man who delivers more punishment at the quarterback position than he receives, is almost impossible to sack, has been named to multiple Pro-Bowls, has won two Super Bowls, and would do anything for his teammates to help them win. In a different light, people may see an immature man who defiantly refused to wear his helmet when he rode his motorcycle. They may see a man who has been accused of rape on multiple occasions. They may see someone who is not nearly as committed to the game of football when he is not playing. Like many people, there is a lot to Ben Roethlisberger. The good and the bad make him one of the most compelling figures in sports. Inside, you will discover where it all started and learn exactly why he is so controversial. From family to football to the future, all you need to know about Ben Roethlisberger is right here, right now, in the most up to date coverage of Ben Roethlisberger's life.

Download or read book Ben Roethlisberger written by Jackson Carter and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-11-27 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Big Ben" Roethlisberger led his Pittsburgh Steelers to a Super Bowl win against the Seattle Seahawks in 2006 when he was a mere 23 years old-the youngest pro quarterback ever to do the deal. Only three years later, he aired it out and won the biggest Bowl again versus the Arizona Cardinals. The second time around was a lot tighter for Ben and tense Steeler fans as he waited until literally the last minute to find Santonio Holmes for the clinching score. But don't think that Ben only plays football. He's got his own line of barbeque sauce, "Big Ben's BBQ", and started a foundation to support police and fire departments and their special K-9 dogs in the U.S. He's busy finding ways to improve the quality of life for both Ohio and Pennsylvania inhabitants. "Big Ben" is definitely not a misnomer: the man stands 6'5" (1.96 m) and tips the scales at 240 pounds (109 kgs.). It's not completely clear if this natural size comes from Ben's work in the weight room, an extra trip to the BBQ pit with a bottle of his special sauce in hand, or a bit of both. Now at age 38, still in the Steel City, he continues to break records and looks "better than ever" doing it. Interestingly enough, Ben has become a spokesperson for Swiss Roots, a campaign set up to help Americans of Swiss origin reconnect with their ancestors and heritage in Switzerland. After researching his own family history that can be traced to Geissbühl, a small farming community in the municipality of Lauperswill (not far from Bern), Roethlisberger and his family finally enjoyed a trip to stunning Switzerland to take in the sights in May, 2006.

Download or read book Strong Arm Tactics written by John Maxymuk and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Signal caller, gunslinger, field general--the quarterback goes by many lofty nicknames. It's arguably the toughest, most high-pressure position to play among all sports. The quarterback touches the ball on every offensive snap, is responsible for reading the defense, adjusting the play, and executing complex schemes that require tremendous physical and mental prowess. He is expected to be the undisputed team leader, whether he's an established veteran or an untested rookie. If he succeeds, he's the most likely player on the field to be canonized by fans and broadcasters. If he fails, he'll be vilified in the press and his home field fans will start cheering for the backup. This book traces the interesting history of the professional quarterback, from the early years when the quarterback was a blocker (and the appellations quarterback, halfback, and fullback were literal and geographically correct) to the modern-day player who must be the eyes, ears, brains, and, of course, the accurate, strong arm of the offense. The narrative history in Section I is rich with statistical analysis. The author employs realistic metrics for statistical comparison across multiple eras, and includes all-time rankings as well as specific rankings among different styles of quarterbacks. Section II compares quarterbacks within their respective eras, putting their accomplishments in context with those of their contemporaries. Section III breaks down the quarterback position, team-by-team, for current NFL franchises. Appendices provide detailed passing records; additional statistics on everything from relative passer ratings to fourth quarter comebacks; and listings of first round draft picks, trades involving quarterbacks, awards, and uniform numbers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a kid, Adrian Peterson got the nickname "All Day" (A.D.) because he was always on the go. As an adult, teammates still call him A.D., because he never stops working. Adrian's tremendous work ethic has helped him become one of the best running backs in the NFL. Some of A.D.'s most important work takes place off the field, however. After his rookie season, he started the All Day Foundation, an organization that raises money for charities such as the Boys & Girls Clubs and the Special Olympics. Through all of his success, A.D. has always recognized that hard work should not be limited to the football field. In Adrian Peterson, kids will follow this NFL star’s record-setting football career while also discovering the many ways that A.D. makes a difference in kids' lives off the field. Large, full-color action photos and an engaging narrative text will keep young readers turning the pages for more.
Download or read book Scorecasting written by Tobias Moskowitz and published by Crown. This book was released on 2012-01-17 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Scorecasting, University of Chicago behavioral economist Tobias Moskowitz teams up with veteran Sports Illustrated writer L. Jon Wertheim to overturn some of the most cherished truisms of sports, and reveal the hidden forces that shape how basketball, baseball, football, and hockey games are played, won and lost. Drawing from Moskowitz's original research, as well as studies from fellow economists such as bestselling author Richard Thaler, the authors look at: the influence home-field advantage has on the outcomes of games in all sports and why it exists; the surprising truth about the universally accepted axiom that defense wins championships; the subtle biases that umpires exhibit in calling balls and strikes in key situations; the unintended consequences of referees' tendencies in every sport to "swallow the whistle," and more. Among the insights that Scorecasting reveals: • Why Tiger Woods is prone to the same mistake in high-pressure putting situations that you and I are • Why professional teams routinely overvalue draft picks • The myth of momentum or the "hot hand" in sports, and why so many fans, coaches, and broadcasters fervently subscribe to it • Why NFL coaches rarely go for a first down on fourth-down situations--even when their reluctance to do so reduces their chances of winning. In an engaging narrative that takes us from the putting greens of Augusta to the grid iron of a small parochial high school in Arkansas, Scorecasting will forever change how you view the game, whatever your favorite sport might be.
