Not Made of Steel?
Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident yesterday. He was purportedly riding without a helmet when he struck a car. No arrests were made. Roethlisberger was reportedly thrown from the bike and suffered, among other things, a broken jaw and nose. Two little facts: Roethlisberger had been lectured about this before by Steelers coach Bill Cowher and the motorcycle he was riding is supposedly the fastest production bike on the market. Sounds to me like there might be some reckless behavior here.

I certainly don't want to see anything happen to Roethlisberger, but you have to ask yourself, what was he thinking? You are a quarterback in the NFL. Your job is what most men dream about and you go jeopardizing life and limb because you like the wind in your hair?

Tidbit for fantasy owners: Roethlisberger also had what is reportedly a minor knee injury, as well.
