We were just sent this infinitely amusing photo from Saturday's Steelers-Browns game. This woman apparently went to prom with Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and is broadcasting it to the world. (This is why being famous is terrifying; somewhere out there, there are pictures of our junior year prom. We'll just say there was a mullet, a pink tie and braces.)
It is not known if the fan who ran on the field and was tackled by the Steelers' James Harrison was, in fact, this woman's husband. "Hey, Roethlisberger ... in spite of what the principal explicitly stated, you were not watching your hands during 'Kokomo.' And during Bryan Adams' 'Heaven,' you quite plainly went in for some unsolicited necking. Come get some, Big Ben!"

The pic isn't that bad. What would REALLY make it embarassing would be if Ben slept with either of those two pigs.
Judging from your picture, Kristy, I doubt Big Ben will be calling you anytime soon.
Did anyone see the sign at the Redskins game this week that said "Shockey Likes Cocky"? It was in the endzone at ground level. But seriously... Shocky TOTALLY like Cocky.
Anyone else think Roethlisberger looks like that dude from The Office?
Who knows, maybe that's the chick that gave him his nickname. He probably only went to that dance with her because she looked like someone famous... I mean seriously, back then any girl that looked like Kerri Strug was a hot commodity...
Wow. I am shocked at Kristy's transition from tiny, highschool waif to Dogg Pound material. If there was ever a more clear reason for women to stay the hell away from beer than this before and after, I'm not sure what it is.
That picture looks more like a Haloween photo from the year Ben went as a Browns assistant coach. All that's missing is a gut.
These posts mainly demonstrate the young, hip Deadspin Demographic. If you were, say, 40 and pinned down with three kids and a mega-mortgage, you'd welcome a beer-drinking blond who would attend a December football game outdoors, spare tire or not. Gach, good call on Kerri Strug.
What's up with Ben's short sleeve polo and sweater vest combo? I'm not sure if copping Jim Tressel's wardrobe is in any high schooler's best interest, especially for a stud quarterback. He looks like he just got off his shift at Kohl's.
Who goes to a date dance in a sweater vest over a short sleeve shirt and khakis? And who takes a 12-year-old on top of that? (I guess Ben could also be 12 in that photo.)
I'd do both of them. All six chins.
I had a puprple satin tie with a piano keyboard pattern on it. Seriously. And a Bono- circa "Unforgettable Fire" mullet. No snark from me. You have to admire these ladies. Great work on the sign and true commitment to a bad team. They can probably recite stats, too. Cleveland.
