PITTSBURGH, PA — The move was inevitable and expected, but still came with a surreal feel for many Steelers fans. After nearly two decades behind center for the Steelers, Ben Roethlisberger has hung up his cleats. Big Ben made it official on Thursday, calling it a career after 18 years and causing much trepidation throughout southwestern Pennsylvania. Is this truly the beginning of the Mason Rudolph era? That remains to be seen. For now, it's time to salute the greatest quarterback in Steelers history and one of the best in the century-old history of the NFL. Now for the rest of the Weekly Wrap: President Joe Biden came to town to talk infrastructure. A legendary Pittsburgh bar that closed a while back will reopen soon. A longtime Ross Park Mall retailer closed up shop. Wondering where you can get one of those free N95 masks around Pittsburgh? Wonder no more.
