Big Ben Role Model?

FORT WORTH -- At his first Super Bowl XLV press conference Monday, Ben Roethlisberger again wasn't inclined to "reflect" on matters surrounding his four-game suspension at the start of this season. But he did look ahead to something he said he hopes to achieve beyond Sunday's game.
"I want to be a role model. I want people to look up to me. I like when kids wear my jersey," the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers told dozens of media representatives crowded around his interview platform at the team hotel.

He elaborated on that later, saying he meant more than being a role model as an NFL player.
"Absolutely, there's a lot more to it than just that," he said. "You want to be a good person. You want to be some day, hopefully, a good father, husband, whatever that entails, grandfather and all those things. I think there's a lot of people you can be role models to."
But Roethlisberger was asked multiple questions about his thoughts on beginning the season under a suspension imposed by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
