Breaking new: Big Ben back in the lineup

We like Alan Robinson's work (he did reporting on Pittsburgh sports for a number of years for the Associated Press), and while he is no Ed Bouchette, he is still pretty good. So, if Mr. Robinson reports that Ben Roethlisberger will resume his duties that as the Steelers' starting quarterback, well, who are we to argue? However, we speculated that Mr. Roethlisberger's return would occur on December 16, and we are inclined to stand by that unless, and until, we see him out on the frozen tundra versus San Diego.
