Ben Roethlisberger House !!! Ben Roethlisberger Home !!! Ben Roethlisberger Mansion !!! Pittsburgh Steelers Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger House

When the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers do battle in this Sunday's Super Bowl, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have the chance to prove his meddle against Ben Roethlisberger's tried-and-true playoff form. The classic story of an upstart unknown facing the veteran star. The same can't be said of their respective coaches. Pitt playcaller Mike Tomlin might have a Super Bowl ring to his credit, but, at just 38 years of age, he's no member of the old guard. Meanwhile, Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy, a Pittsburgh fan by birth, is almost 10 years older than Tomlin, but has little in the way of bling to show for it. Any ill-informed football speculation on our part would be useless, but let it be known that we sense some weakness in the Pittsburgh duo. Why? Because they've been living the high life in ritzy pads since their last Super Bowl win, while the likes of Rodgers and McCarthy have been keeping it down home in some typically all-American digs.

↑ Roethlisberger is well ensconced in this 10,000-square-foot suburban mansion. Purchased for $1.9M in 2006, it features a gated access, cathedral ceilings, two Super Bowl trophies, a basketball court, and a swimming pool with Big Ben's Number 7 painted on the bottom. In 2009, the Pittsburgh QB invitedShaquille O'Neal to his home as part of the Shaq's Vs. TV series, kicked him out of his favorite chair (a La-Z Boy lounger, no less), and promptly won a game of Horse against the NBA star. He'll be hoping that sort of cross-training pays off on Sunday, but all this reads like a bit too much ego.
