Another dispatch from the Lifestyles of People With Fuck You Money:
Someone sent the following e-mail to the DC Steeler Nation fan club group on Yahoo:
I happen to have some pictures of the new pool just built at Big Ben’s house in Gibsonia. He’s got a number 7 tiled on the bottom of the pool. There’s a “cave” in the deep end with a waterfall for privacy.
There’s a bar in the shallow end with wrap-around granite bar top, submerged bar stools, and a grill. He spent $1.7 million on the pool.
Not too shabby. Matt Leinart thinks it could use more underage girls though.

His Jersey # along the bottom? I thought Roethlisburger was a white Qb…
Way to go Roethlisburger. You were a douche already, now you got the house to prove it.
Have fun in the stinkpit known as Western Pennsylvania.
You have me ovel, Rongrastname… I test the pH revers in youl poor. Then we pray Malco Poro…
Considering they $21 million for Mahan, $1.7 for a swimming pool seems one of the more shrewd Steeler investments. At least now Jeff Reed has somewhere to shoot skinflicks during the offseason.
Is that you one-eyed Willie?
It is going to be awkward as Big Ben continually mistakes Troy Polamalu as someone there to clean the pool, right?
…and when it was finished, Ben had the entire pool area razed and converted into his own miniature Vans Skatepark.
F 289!
RE “Matt Leinart thinks it could use more underage girls though.”
They’re in the cave behind the waterfall. That’s why you can’t see them.
Yeah, the pictures suck. I could do better with my $130 Nikon. Nice pool, though.
Nice pool Ben, too bad you still have to live in western PA
@ twoeightnine – exactly what i was thinking. 1.7M buys a lot of trips to mexico or wherever the hell western PA women are not.
You would think that for $1.7 million he could have built it somewhere besides Western Pennsylvania.
BIG BEN NO CARE ABOUT COST I SIGN CONTRACT AND HAS CASH IN A FLASH.
I can’t live in a house without a waterfall, what am I a peasant?
i have a feeling the steelers are going to regret the omission of a “no-hammock” clause in big ben’s contract.
My name is Otto and I love to get grotto.
So, did Hines give Rongrastname his cheddar back? I would appreciate some continuity in these stories, CC.
“Not too shabby. Matt Leinart thinks it could use more underage girls though.”
Brady Quinn thinks it needs more…
…too easy.
I wonder if there’s room for Cedric Benson’s boat in there
*waterfall flies open*
Rongrastname’s favorite part of the pool is the waterfall cave, which he has dubbed “Black Bart’s Cave.” There’s also a fake treasure chest cemented and painted into the wall, which unfortunately Ben forgets every time he leaves the cave and returns thinking he’s found Black Bart’s lost treasure.
Ben will be getting swimming lessions from San Antonio and FWP.
Love the swim-up bar. Really gives the place that “having your drink spiked with GHB by a Ohio State TKE brother on Spring Break in Cancun” feel.
“My specs! What happened to my specs?!?!?”
Reggie Bush’s Pimp- I loved the rape stand comment.
Over/under on the number of days until Roethlisberger gets sent to the emergency room after trying to have sex with one of the water jets?
So that’s how they got those photos. Hmmmm.
So where is Rimas Sleed?
no ‘rongrastname’ stenciled over the ‘privacy’ grotto?
The league and the players’ union is right, these are lean times and there is absolutely no excess revenue available to help disabled former players.
True story… when Ben first saw the pool, he was pissed because they had tiled a big “L”
Ben enjoys diving head-first into the shallow end.
Does this mean that Roethlisberger now has to learn how to swim?
Mike Vick wants to know where the rape stand goes.
Weren’t you people paying attention? This poor man has to sleep in a bunk bed for two weeks. It’s really a black mark on us as a nation.
mmmm…Mongolian BBQ
Now he can invite the whole team over for a cookout and Hines can bring the Mongolian BBQ
Stalkers usually take better pictures than these.
Nice fuckin model … If Big Ben spent 1.7 mil on that, he must still be post-concussive from the motorcycle accident. No way that pool cost that much, unless he spent about 0.9 million on a huge stack of ‘terrible towels’ for clean up of the cave-nookie.
Hmm… A Captain Caveman article depicting Big Ben as a poon hound in his pool could be fun… just throwing that out there .
\agrees with matt leinart
\becomes familiar with megans law the hard way
Unfortunately, when he commissioned photos of the pool, he didn’t have enough money to hire someone with a camera made in the last 25 years.
