Roethlisberger Drink And Drunk

It seems that someone in ESPN’s graphic department won’t easily forgot about Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s hard-partying past. On Monday Night Countdown prior to Roethlisberger’s Steelers taking on the Kansas City Chiefs, one of the segment’s was going to discuss Big Ben’s short “Dink and Dunk” style passing game. Except the “Coming Up” graphic told everyone watching at home to expect a feature on Roethlisberger’s “Drink and Drunk” game, which would’ve been a lot more interesting.

I always wonder how this happens. Was someone in the control room goofing around and forgot to end the joke or was this simply a Freudian slip? At least the graphic didn’t say “Rape and Run.”
