Big Ben shaves beard

Big Ben Roethlisberger is gearing up for his return and the Steelers posted a video on Twitter Monday of him throwing passes to his teammates in practice. He missed most of the NFL 2019 season after undergoing elbow surgery. He also fulfilled a promise to the fans to shave his beard if he could complete an NFL caliber throw to his teammates.

    I know the Steelers nation has to be ready for his return, it will be interesting to see how he does when he does return, if we even have an NFL season.

    Wow, Ben with that beard looks almost as stupid as Andrew Luck did with his, I didn’t think that was possible

    I didn't even realize Ben had grown that beard, until I noticed the story online this morning. You have to be careful when you grow a beard like that, because bird's take notice of it and they are drawn to it because of it's resemblance to a bird's nest. This really happened to a man in 2018.

    He should have trimmed the beard instead of shaving it all off.

    Ben is such an exceptional athlete, yet always looked so out of shape. He commonly would have a double chin at the same point in the season other athletes are struggling to keep weight on.

    Couldn’t agree more, like I said Big Ben is on par with Andrew Luck for the most ridiculous stupid look. Reminds me of the Red Sox players, talk about a bunch of ugly looking beards lol

    That sound you hear is the bottom of the barrel being scraped for sports-related news stories.

    this is one guy who should never shave it. Harden has had his for so long that it's ingrained in his persona. you go to a Rockets game and there are ten thousand kids with fake beards on.

    btw as revolting as Big Ben looks with that tangled web of hideousness attached to his chin, dare i say he looks even worse au naturel

    Today it's beards, tomorrow it might be Toe nails. We're getting desperate here!!

    But I must say, this beard thread surpassed all of my expectations. Thank you to everyone who made this beard thread a success!

    In his own words "I normally don't work out in the offseason." Kind of an embarrassing statement coming from an elite athlete.

    As long as women don't start wearing beards, i'm okay with it.

    That idiot on the Houston Rockets is living proof of that!

    And eventually the bird population in Houston will track down James Harden and start a nest in his beard. He can't avoid them forever!
