NFL Hot Topics with: Noah Strackbein

Athletes are human, there vulnerable and they fall. That was Ben Roethlisberger’s message on Father’s Day.  At the ManUp Pittsburgh conference. It's not always easy," said Roethlisberger, who has been accused of sexual assault twice during his NFL career, the second time leading to a four-game suspension to begin the 2010 season. "People don't realize all the time that us athletes, we're human. We sin like everybody else. I am no different. We make mistakes. We get addicted to things. We sin. We're human. I think sometimes we get put on this pedestal where we can't make mistakes. "I've fallen as short as anybody. I've been addicted to alcohol. I've been addicted to pornography, which makes me then not the best husband, not the best father, not the best Christian I can be.  The message was given for an extremely specific reason to help to inspire fathers in the greater Pittsburgh area to demand more of themselves. As people, as dads and as husbands.  I tackled this issue and a whole host of others with Noah Strackbein, an AllSteelers reporter, from Sports Illustrated. You can follow Noah on Twitter @NoahStrack
