    Mad credit to Channel Seven for being unique and giving us a chance to see Ben's personality beyond the pressers and radio shows. He was much maligned during his career for some of his personality traits and this show allows him to let his sense of humor and competitive nature shine without having to walk the line of being a man and speaking your mind while avoiding giving the media something to smear him with. I admit my opinion of him has gone up, and I'm a homer so that ain't easy! Now, can we get Mason on? That would give him another chance to keep it real much like his honesty about Kenny's initial success enabled him to do. We love the REAL Ben, unapologetic, raw, a man of faith, who can laugh at himself too. Mason has earned some love from the city and the NATION, and it would shine positively on Ben to give him a venue to clear the air. #spencelovetheshow

    Coming from a Bmore fan, I do like watching some of these episodes. Ben seems like a chill guy. Even as a rival, I obviously respect what both of these guys did & are currently doing on the field. Def gained respect TJ off the field after seeing this 1. I'm one of the logical Ravens fans that even though neither of us are gonna root for each other, I still do have a respect for Pittsburgh, what they've accomplished & just the tough wars we usually have against each other (even though y'all have def been getting the better of us again lately).

    Watt's hit on McSorely in the B1G championship game is one of the best I've seen in the last 10 years. Less than 1 minute in and I thought that game was over.

    TJ is amazing! That left vs right side breakdown was very insightful as a student of the game.

    Im an eagles fan, but i most definitely would of loved to see TJ and JJ play on the same D line. They would've been unstoppable.
