Anybody Else Here A Steeler Fan?
Bonibelle:
I was never a fan of motorcycles because (as my kids say) I am a spazo and have a great amount of fear of riding on a highway totally unprotected. My kids however constantly pester to have a dirt bike because many of our close friends ride motocross. Their kids have dirt bikes and quads and race at various tracks on the east coast. Riding on the track takes away the element of aggressive drivers on a highway or inattentive drivers who pose a great hazard to motorcyclists...and the riders have the best in gear and helmets....so I thought. My girlfriend's son (13 years old) was in a very serious accident on his dirt bike about 4 weeks ago. He has just been transfered to a rehab facility with a trach (he has a broken neck and can't breathe on his own), a feeding tube, and he has not regained movement in either his arms or legs. He wasn't racing, just took a jump wrong....ironically one of his motocross friends is in the same rehab with similar injuries. I don't really think there is a way to be protected on a motorcycle, but I understand that many folks just love them and are willing to take the risk. :-/
My kids have changes their minds...

As a PAts Fan, the steelers are definately not my favorite teams. :P
But all silly rivalry aside, I wish the best for Ben and his familly.
I heard this morning he had a lot of damage to his head and face (broken jaw and nose among many other things). He will be out of commision for a least 2 months. PErsonaly, I doubt he' play this season, but at least he is alive and will recover.

Early reports of knee injuries have been false? Or maybe that was just abrasions? Will the lady that hit him be charged with Roughing the passer? Offsides? Illegal use of a Cadillac? That woman is going to be in a relocation program soon.

NFL.com had this blurb...
"....But according to those close Roethlisberger, he did break his jaw, his nose, chip his teeth and suffer various lacerations to his cheek and knees.
I think it's too early to really say anthing about his game days.
