Big Ben compares himself to Superman

Saw this under the headline "Ben: I was young, immature", which made me laugh since the incident only happened 3 months ago, you really telling me he's suddenly grown up in 3 months time?

But this quote beats it...

"I got caught up being Big Ben the whole time. I lost track of who Ben Roethlisberger was. It's not something I'm proud of," he told WTAE.

Similarly, he told KDKA, "Big Ben just kept building up. It ended up coming off the field. It kept taking over. Superman kept taking over Clark Kent and you just never saw who Ben Roethlisberger was any more. At the time, I didn't see it. I was gaining everything but I was losing a lot of who I was raised to be."

His comments on this are just REAL funny BS. Oh yeah, I understand now why you were taking advantage of girls...you were just "caught up" in your alter ego, "BIG BEN"!

Actually, as you can see form the following, Ben is doing an AWESOME job of emulating Superman.

LOL!

That Kryptonite picture is one of the all-time great comic book covers. It's seriously so messed up, you have to wonder if anyone looked at it and realized what they were releasing and decided to just go with it to become part of comic legend.

"Elsa Ronningstam, associate clinical professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School and author of Identifying and Understanding the Narcissistic Personality: Referring to yourself in the third person creates distance between "I" and "he." So if you have an exaggerated view of how great you are, you could be using this distance to make yourself even bigger. Or, if you've achieved major success suddenly, using the third person could be a way to adjust to the bigger role that's been assigned to you. It's a way to enlarge yourself to fit that role.
