Bad news Steelers fans...
- Thread starter Echo
- Start date
that is bad news. ben's my man
Apparently he wasn't wearing a helmet.
As of this post, serious but stable condition.
I can't say that I'm surprised, but I still hope he's okay.

Yeah, I can channel the Echo...
They should make him give back ever cent of his salary this year for being a DUMBASS.
You are the quarterback of the Super Bowl winning team and you pull this move.......

Yeah my thought exactly. The coach Bill Cower ,aka, Angry-Spitting guy has apparently grilled the guy over not wearing the helmet before.DRB said:
pittsburgh is flipping out...sounds like he should be fine though...
ben is like the chuck norris of football. give him a few days to rest then he will flex his muscles and be ok. then roundhouse kick his motorcycle for good measure.
No he is not like chuck norris. He was the quarterback of the super bowl winning team. Riding a motorcycle is questionable enough but riding one without a helmet is about the dumbest thing for someone like him.jonKranked said:

i thought that was a prerequisite to be in the NFL?
This just in:
Mike Holmgren was seen driving away in a dented rental van.
You can bet you are gonna start seeing a "No motorcycle" provision in any new NFL contracts.

In Pittsburgh EVERYONE knows who he is. By not wearing a helmet, basically EVERYONE will recognize him, and the brungemans get all giddy and delerious and completely forget they are driving a car. Makes it even more dangerous.
yea. i'm from da burgh. football is a religion there. its a drinking town with a football problem. or is it the other way around?
Kinda thought that that was a given after Kellen Winslow's little trip over the curb....Jeremy R said:
Oh great, now they're forming prayer vigils outside of the hospital where he is staying.
I had a hard time understanding why PA overturned the helmet law... and cringed every time I saw guys riding in wifebeaters & flipflops. To me it's even worse than overturning the seatbelt law... if you fall of or lay it over, you're going to get seriously own3d.
Alright! GO BEARS!
oh jeezuz...BurlyShirley said:
Asked why he doesn't wear a helmet -- something he wouldn't think about doing on a football field -- Roethlisberger pointed out Pennsylvania's 35-year-old state law requiring helmets to be worn was amended two years ago.
"Obviously Pennsylvania doesn't think people need to (wear a helmet)," he said. "There's a law you've got to wear it in football."
Lucky his head hit the windshield first, or he could have been seriously hurt...

I think a 9" laceration to your head is serious enough. The thing that really bugs me is that with proper protection (helmet, leather gear) the injury would not be as bad (yeah, you'll still break your bones).
yup.PoserNewbie said:
Ever see a pro racer in full gear fly off the bike at 90mph and walk away? I'm sure you have.
I have zero sympathy of 'tards who don't wear any protective gear.
I do wish him well and a successful recovery.
That said... GO DOLPHINS! (they play Pitt in game one
)

And Culpepper will probably tear his other knee up too.LordOpie said:yup.

Nah, good luck to the dolphins. They'll probably be a better team than the Broncos. Although the Cardinals look like a monster sleeper team this year.
Joey Harrington is the best #2 in the league 
The Broncos are #2 in the AFC after Indy in my ranking. Dolphins #5, 4 if Dillon gets old and the rookie doesn't perform for NE.
Cardinals were the sleeper last year too, but yeah, with Edge, a whole 'nother story.

Speaking of football, my friends and I just started our Yahoo! fantasy league last week. Much to our dismay, the prime draft spots have already been taken. Drats!
FOOTBALL SEASON CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH!!!1!!1!

How do you go from being the WORST #1 to the best #2? You're such a homer.
