The latest example of how slow things have gotten during the lockout? It’s actually regarded in some circles as newsworthy that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a Twitter account.
Unfortunately, while the account is indeed legitimate, it’s not a personal account containing updates from Ben’s life as typed into a smartphone from the 11th tee box.
“This twitter feed is for Mr. Roethlisberger’s official site -- for updates,” said the message posted earlier tonight on "@_bigben7,” the name of Roethlisberger’s non-page page. “He does not have a personal account.”
It would be interesting to see some of the messages that would appear on Roethlisberger’s personal account, if he in fact had one. (That’s a cue for PFT Planet to take that baton and run with it. To Georgia. Or to Nevada.)
