Saturday November 06, 2004 NFL Rookie of the Year?
Ben Roethlisberger, the rookie QB of the Pittsburgh Steelers, is certainly making his case so far for NFL Rookie of the Year. He has won Rookie of the Week honors for every week in which he was the starting QB (5 weeks in all). He is 5-0 as a starter and currently boasts a passer rating of 104.7. Even if he did not play for my favorite team, he would certainly have my vote.

Trivial Tidbits
Play-Doh was invented by Noah and Joseph McVicker in 1956. The inventors received U.S. Patent number 3,167,440 in 1965 for "Plastic Modeling Composition of a Soft, Pliable Working Consistency".
The McVicker brothers originally designed the Play-Doh compound as a substance for cleaning wallpaper.
When Play-Doh was first introduced, in 1956 in the Woodward & Lothrop Department Store toy department in Washington, D.C., it was available only in a 1.5 pound can of off-white 'doh'.
