Report: Big Ben racks up hefty bar tab in wee hours

Betallsports · Feb 3, 2011

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger drank and sang the night away at a Dallas-area piano bar Wednesday, according to video posted on TMZ.

According to the report, "Big Ben" arrived at around 11:00pm local time at Pete's Dueling Piano Bar in Fort Worth, Tex., and stayed until 1:15am Thursday.
Roethlisberger arrived with two of his teammates, buying several rounds for himself and the entire bar. He reportedly tipped $200 on an $800 tab.

In the TMZ video, the two-time Super Bowl winner is seen belting out Billy Joel's "Piano Man" along with his Steeler mates.

This is the second report this week of the AFC champs enjoying the Dallas-Fort Worth nightlife. Several Steelers, including wide receiver Hines Ward, were spotted at a strip club Monday, according to the Dallas Morning News.

LMAO, does not surprise me.

This is the type of stuff I don't get. They're still relatively young men, they have money...let them enjoy the nightlife. As long as they're not pounding hard drugs and raping people, let them have their fun. It's not going to make them any less prepared for Sunday.

I was watching that on Good Day New York and they female newscaster was saying how this was so wrong..

200 on 800 is 30% at least he didn't leave her a wedding ring

Yeah, I'm only referring to him for this time, lol. As long as there is no sexual assault, fighting, weapons, etc. then this shouldn't even be news-worthy.

That's news???

.....must not have been too many people there ( 50 ?)

Don't see how 2 hours in a bar is worth reporting.

Where I'm from $200 on $800 is 25%. LOL.

I mean really, who cares? I hate the Steelers as much as anyone, but the guy is in his late 20's and it is 5 days before the game. Talk to me if he's out Friday or Saturday night.

Actually, It might even help them play stronger as a team by building team moral and cohesiveness..........

Shouldnt affect his performance on Sunday, didn't get himself or anybody else into trouble, so this whole thing shouldn't bother anybody

You are 100% correct. However, America thinks because they buy tickets and watch games, they own these players and want them to be something they are not and that is robots.

They want players studying film 24/7. People forget that most players have been doing this for 20+ years already. Doesn't mean they don't care about winning, but I have known several players who just cared about getting paid after a while. I have no complaints, people think because they play pro football that they can't dislike aspects of their job or that they don't have the right to have a life. Everyone is not Peyton Manning nor do they want to be.
