Even more trouble for Big Ben!

Steeler's QB  Big ben has of course had more than his share of trouble.  But this morning more devastating news...and this time it's SERIOUS.BEN ROETHLISBERGER'S idiocy has officially robbed the world of Big Ben's Beef Jerky. 

I know, just take a minute and let it soak in....

Yes, Ben had his own brand of beef jerky.  But PLB Sports . . . the company that made it . . . is pulling the plug.  Production has been halted, and all existing product is being DESTROYED.

PLB President Ty Ballou says the company is exercising a MORALITY CLAUSE in Ben's contract.  He adds, quote, "I hope he can learn from this." 

(--By the way . . . PLB is the company that made FLUTIE FLAKES cereal . . . which was named after quarterback DOUG FLUTIE.)

Meanwhile, Ben met with NFL President Roger Goodell yesterday.  Even though police let him off the hook, the league might still level some sort of punishment against him.

Ben called the meeting, quote, "very productive" . . . but there's been no indication so far if Goodell is taking any action.
