black_gold_capone Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I dont see this reported anywhere on the internet so I can't post proof but I live in the Pittsburgh area and the news just reported it about 20 minutes ago. At first they just reported it as a crash and didnt know who the motorcycle driver was. Then they thought it was Big Ben because of the witness, and the Steelers confirmed it......I hope hes ok Now that we have the one for the thumb, the other hand looks lonely........GO STEELERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Oh s t! He doesnt even wear a helmet either. He was supposed to filming a soup commercial in Heinz Field today. They said a lady acme out i front of him and he t-boned her. He hit his head off the windshield, rolled over the car, and landed on the pavement.Its all over the local news right now.

ZapRowsdower8 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I went to Duquesene U. which is right above were that accident happened. That is a pretty dangerous intersection. I don't get why people choose to ride motorcycles without a helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanB06 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I can't wait for you guys to slam Big Ben like you slammed Kellen Winslow and Jay Williams. OK - I'll play.Won't these guys ever learn? Especially after Winslow missing two seasons because of his motorcycle accident? Sheer stupidity on Rothlisberger's part.I'll never understand why you wouldn't wear a helmet on a motorcycle when you wear one as a requirement of your profession. But then, I'm not getting paid Big Ben-style coin, so what do I know?I hope that Big Ben recovers fully from his injuries. I also hope Pittsburgh terminates his contract once he does (isn't motorcycle riding a "prohibited activity" in standard player contracts these days?).

OnWis97 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I can't wait for you guys to slam Big Ben like you slammed Kellen Winslow and Jay Williams. Assuming motorcycle riding is prohibited in his contract, he deserves it every bit as much.

Neon_Matrix Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 How stupid is this guy?He just won the Super Bowl, he is very young and could have a long career ahead of him and not only does he decide to ride a motorcycle (alot of ahtletes ride them) he decides to ride one without a helmet. He is lucky he isn't dead, but this is still pretty scary. It will be interesting to see if this kills his football career...

Korkie Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Gotta love that Gov. Rendell passed a bill making it legal to ride without a helmet. It's really dumb. That aside, Roethlisberger touted his macho attitude before about riding without a helmet and who knows his macho attitude may cost him part if not all of an awesome career post his SB win. Hopefully he'll learn his lesson.

paynomind Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I hope Ben lives. That being said, is it okay for me to say that I hope he doesn't play football again? I'm in agreement with you on that one... I hope he recovers but the Steelers void his contract and he makes the cycle as a back up, humiliated and doesnt ever get a chnace to play again.Idiot.Also, on a side note, its strange to see a guy whose board name is BigBen be rooting agianst the player whose nickname is Big Ben. I understand it, its just odd. NCFA Sunset Beach Tech - Octopi ΓΔΒ! Going to college gets you closer to the real world, kind of like climbing a tree gets you closer to the moon.

DG_YouKnowWhatThatMeans Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I hope Ben lives. That being said, is it okay for me to say that I hope he doesn't play football again? No, I don't think so. It's not really ethical, or humane, to ask for varying degrees of physical pain and trauma. But as you may be a Bengals fan still upset about Carson Palmer and wondering about his recovery, I think you've yet to overcome your own trauma. So maybe it is okay after all.You hate to see anybody get injured in an accident, especially young people with their entire lives ahead of them. That said, my first reaction was stupid is as stupid does. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really ethical, or humane, to ask for varying degrees of physical pain and trauma. Finally, someone who doesn't wish an end to his career.Look, were not all perfect. ALL of us have made mistakes before. ALL of us have made stupid mistakes before. Nobody has a right to wish an end to someone's career just because he made a mistake. Granted, it was a very stupid mistake, and he was told a million times by many people to wear a helmet, but, thats no excuse to wish an end to his career and the quality of his life. Thats like saying a hockey player's career should end when he gets a black eye because he didn't wear a visor.Also, on a side note, its strange to see a guy whose board name is BigBen be rooting agianst the player whose nickname is Big Ben.

Braden Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 It's a shame that someone gets into a serious accident and all that some of you can think of is the fact that he might not play this season cause of it.Idiots.My thoughts go out to him and his family. I hope he learns from the mistake of not wearing a helmet. He's fortunate to get a 2nd chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
