The Green Bay Press-Gazette ponders the idea that a second career Super Bowl title on Sunday for Ben Roethlisberger would make the fifth-year quarterback an automatic lock for the Hall of Fame.Of course, a victory on Sunday in Super Bowl XLIII wouldn't reserve a bronze bust for Roethlisberger in Canton, Ohio, but the paper brings up an interesting point: If prognosticators are calling for Kurt Warner's enshrinement in the case of a Cardinals victory, shouldn't the same go for Big Ben if the Steelers win a second title in four years?
