I can see why if stories like this are true...



The Steelers have their training camp in Latrobe, PA - a town absolutely owned by Arnold Palmer. Near the training camp is Laurel Valley golf club. It has hosted several major championships and is a big deal club in the area. Ben Roethlisberger came by during training camp one summer and said he wanted to get on the course to play. The pro shop said that they would accomodate him but that members that had tee times would go ahead of him and they would work him on.


So, Ben looks around the pro shop and starts buying up stuff. Makes his purchases, then disappears to the first tee. He's teeing off out of turn. The pro shop wrangles him down in the first fairway and demands that he return to the clubhouse to wait his turn to play. Eventually, he gets to go off. He runs into a bunch of people who naturally want his autograph. He says no to all of them. Doesn't want to be nice to the people letting him play their exclusive track.

A man walks up and asks for an autograph saying that his son with terminal cancer is Ben's biggest fan. Ben replied to the man "Everyone I meet has a "sick kid" now f*ck off!"


When he's done with the round, Ben goes into the locker room in the clubhouse. He takes a shower and comes out, when a man comes up to him and tells him, "What you are going to do right now is go into the pro shop and sign autographs for every single person who wants them, and then you will never come back here again."

The man who told him that? Arnold Palmer.

It's not true. He may not be best friends with everyone, but Brett Keisel, Heath Miller, Charlie Batch, the o-line, are close with him

what about clark, harrison, polamalu, woodley etc.?

From a lot of accounts, this dude is def. an a$$hole so it wouldn't surprise me if some guys don't "like" him as a person

But let's be reality.. he's been a big part in bringing that team a lot of success and prestige. He's helped guys make a lot of money, have longer careers, etc. Especially some of the offensive linemen. A few of these dudes know they'd be bagging groceries right now if Ben couldn't escape the rush
