The Associated Press Clad in a football jersey under the sweltering sun on Heinz Field, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger pushed two musicians in cowboy hats out of the way as he grabbed a scantily clad model and headed for the stands.

But his actions on the field today -- unlike his June motorcycle accident -- are unlikely to earn him any notoriety.

Roethlisberger was helping the PovertyNeck Hillbillies, a local country band, shoot a music video for their new single, "Mr. Right Now."

"They really don't need my help in getting attention," Roethlisberger said in a statement. "I wanted to be involved with the band because of their Pittsburgh roots but, more importantly, because they are hard-working and committed to succeeding on a higher level."

In the video, Hillbillies lead singer Chris Abbondanza and fiddle player Chris Higbee compete for the charms of a young woman who, at the shoot today, was wearing a navel-exposing red T-shirt and a camouflage miniskirt.

Roethlisberger repeatedly foils the musicians' attempts to catch her attention at a barbecue they've thrown, said Brian Hutchinson, vice president of Rust Records, the Hillbillies' label.

"Good show, guys --- great party," Roethlisberger said to the mock-distraught Hillbillies as he walked away with his arm around the woman during filming of the video's final scene.

In between shoots, Roethlisberger chatted with members of the band and crew and idly tossed a football.

He declined to speak to reporters at the event.

Roethlisberger had seven hours of facial reconstruction surgery June 12 after ramming his motorcycle into a car that turned in front of him on a Second Avenue.

He broke his jaw and nose and was thrown over the car onto the pavement.
