Being the massive fan base that it is, the Pittsburgh Steelers have fans from all over the country, even from remote areas. So when a group of Steelers fans actually made the trip from Alaska to Pittsburgh, they were more than a little disappointed when it was Mason Rudolph starting under center rather than Ben Roethlisberger. 

Big Ben himself addressed the situation during a recent episode of his podcast, which often includes discussions on subjects unrelated to football, and he explained the situation with a little bit of humor. 

“I need to shout out this letter,” Roethlisberger began. “I’m going to talk about this because we can’t do the beer because we just got it today and it is warm. We don’t want to drink warm beer. We are going to give a shout-out to Wesley Olsen, the grandfather of Cheyenne Sutton. It’s signed Cheyenne Sutton’s grumpy grandfather.”

“It’s pretty funny, she sent us in a blueberry ale from Alaska,” Roethlisberger continued. “Basically, he said that his granddaughter, and he came down from Alaska to watch us play. I didn’t play in that game, they had to watch Mason [Rudolph]. They didn’t love that.”

Sometimes, that's just the nature of professional sports!
