Ben Roethlisberger finds God, Jerry Rice finds dancing blondes in Lake Tahoe

At least Jerry Rice hasn’t let this Dancing With The Stars thing go to his head. Rice only danced with every hot blonde he could call up on the small stage overlooking the main bar at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe Wednesday night. Not that anyone could accuse Rice of being a player fixated on one prize - or several prizes. The best receiver in NFL history paid more attention to his own dance moves than the revolving blonde coeds shaking with him. At one point, Rice appeared to be checking out his reflection with an expression of near orgasmic joy. Who needs the blondes when you can move like this! At the other end of the celebrity spectrum at the American Century Championship, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger apparently found God when he “forgot” his helmet. “I look at it as this – God had a plan for me and he did this to make me take a step back and see what his plan for my life is,” Roethlisberger told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in an interview from his suite Thursday. Roethlisberger dodged the rest of the press at the course, making them wait till today, all Pope audience like. Apparently, the media wags weren’t wearing enough crucifixes. Maybe influenced by the devout Roethlisberger, the celebrity partying was a bit more tame Thursday night. Or at least more underground. NBA All-Star Ray Allen quietly hit the regular tables with little of the Charles Barkley fanfare or high-limit pampering. For much of the night, Marcus Allen stood on the bar stage with a microphone, belting out songs being played (no kidding) as a lone celebrity. Sometimes you get the idea that rest of the celebrities treat Allen like that guy everyone tries to lose, not telling him where the real party is. Oh well, time to call it a night. Big Ben wants to do his interviews at the unBarkley hour of 9 a.m. Surely, the big Steeler in the sky would approve. Roethlisberger followed God’s plan after all and didn’t wear a helmet.

Now, let's not go overboard. Maybe Ben's noggin is still a little shaken up from the blender. Give him time to see if he invokes the Almight seldom, often, or eternally. Then you can write a fun blog on Blessed Ben.

Funny how that works. Not too many folks just decide out of the blue to investigate spiritual matters. Reminds me of an old adage, "If I make it to Heaven, it's probably because the flames of Hell are licking at my feet."

I agree with you, Ron Mon. Besides, Ben has always said that God is a big influence in his life, this is nothing new. I also find mocking someone's beliefs IN PRINT unprofessional, not to mention juvenile.

Ben has always been a spriritual man. He got in trouble with the NFL a couple of years ago for writing PFJ(play for Jesus) on his shoes.
Grow up, man.

You will find God one day too, Chris ('...every knee will bow...'). You'd better hope and pray that He finds you first. Eternity is a long, long time.
