Ben Roethlisberger privately has told former teammates and some within the organization that he expects this to be his final season playing quarterback for the Steelers, league sources told ESPN.

Damn sucks for us. Will miss that drama Queen.

Privately told teammates and they leaked it?

I call BS. This is just a way to motivate everyone for his last ride

They are pulling out all the tricks aren't they. Sorry Shittsburgh, your carefully timed "leak" to the media won't "rally the troops" and won't make a damn bit of difference on Sunday. Nice try though, if my franchise was on the brink of extinction and rebuild mode with one more loss, I'd try everything I could too.

This fakery seems sooo familiar to me. Where have I seen this bullshit before? Hmmm...

Oh yeah, now I remember! It's the same bullshit he pulls after every interception. It's always the same: throw an interception, then stay on the ground with a serious "injury". Wait a minute, then hobble off the field with a bad limp. Wait 2 minutes, then walk up and down the sidelines completely unhindered.

Yep, I've seen this movie before.

Should be a pay-per view event named LAST BATTLE.

Darn, I was really rooting for that 2-year extension.

Seriously, I will believe it when I see it. He looks like the kind of player who will stick around until he's told to leave. Just like the Brett Favre situation.

Pretty sure even Ben knows he's done as a QB in this league and just playing out his contract. I'd be absolutely shocked if they brought him back
