Ben's Beard

I pledge allegiance to Big Ben’s beard
of the United City of Pittsburgh,
and to the mojo for which it stands,
one Steeler Nation, under Cowher,
undefeatable,
with liberty
and Bettis for all.

This website exists to show our undying support to Ben Roethlisberger and his mighty beard. Though at first we may have had our doubts, the beard has proven itself throughout the season, and we hereby recognize its ultimate power. As a sign of our support for Big Ben, his beard, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, we, the undersigned, pledge to lay down our razors and not shave our beards until Big Ben shaves his.

Dear Ben Roethlisberger,
