Big Ben & TJ Watt talk hardest hits, winning Super Bowls, family competition and more! Ep. 29

TJ will be the Steelers All-Time Sack Leader when he retires and that’s saying a lot with our Defense of History! 🏈 🔥

Coming from a Bmore fan, I do like watching some of these episodes. Ben seems like a chill guy. Even as a rival, I obviously respect what both of these guys did & are currently doing on the field. Def gained respect TJ off the field after seeing this 1. I'm one of the logical Ravens fans that even though neither of us are gonna root for each other, I still do have a respect for Pittsburgh, what they've accomplished & just the tough wars we usually have against each other (even though y'all have def been getting the better of us again lately).

Mad credit to Channel Seven for being unique and giving us a chance to see Ben's personality beyond the pressers and radio shows. He was much maligned during his career for some of his personality traits and this show allows him to let his sense of humor and competitive nature shine without having to walk the line of being a man and speaking your mind while avoiding giving the media something to smear him with. I admit my opinion of him has gone up, and I'm a homer so that ain't easy! Now, can we get Mason on? That would give him another chance to keep it real much like his honesty about Kenny's initial success enabled him to do. We love the REAL Ben, unapologetic, raw, a man of faith, who can laugh at himself too. Mason has earned some love from the city and the NATION, and it would shine positively on Ben to give him a venue to clear the air. #spencelovetheshow

[@skibbiditoilet9999]

This video should be in the NFL archives. You have debatably the Greatest Steeler of All-Time, Ben Roethlisberger. (Some would say Terry which is crazy... But more reasonably Mean Joe, Lambert, Polamalu etc.) Interviewing the man who could very well end up being the Greatest Steelers of All-Time himself, TJ Watt. Right after interviewing Kenny, who has a LONG way to go, but we hope could be as good, or better than Ben some day. What a show. Thank you for having this channel, Ben.

It's good to hear you talk about your health after the carrier is over. When in the arena and young you need the extra energy and pounds to support the trade. So we eat big and play big, but after the game is over and life changes, it's time to change how much you put into your bodies.
