Readers of a certain age will understand this trip down memory lane more than others. Growing up as a child, I was a huge fan of The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams. For those youngsters among us, the TV show was about a man wrongfully accused of a crime who escaped into the wilderness to live a life of solitude and become one with nature. Along the way, he rescued a young grizzly bear cub and they became loyal companions. He named the cub Ben.
Watching Ben Roethlisberger transform into a modern day version of a mountain man standing on the sidelines as a injured spectator last season brought back cherished memories from those childhood years.
