EEI reports he has a serious head injury, has lost most of his teeth and has injured both knees also.  I hope he first of all is alright and second of all has not ruined his career. I do fear from what I am hearing his playing days may be affected greatly by his injuries. I wish him well. |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

First an dmost important:
I hope he is okay and can continue his career unaffected.
Secondly:
Is it true the police issued a citation to the Seattle seahawks for failing to yield?

People in the Steeler front office haven't been too happy about him riding a motor cycle (and without a helmet) for quite a while.
This can't make them too happy!!!

I feel bad for the guy getting hurt and all, but what the heck is he thinking not wearing a helmet? 
I saw an interview recently with Chris Myers and he mentioned something about now that he is a professional ball player he has to tone down his extra ciricular activities like the x game type of sports, I guess he should have thought to wear a helmet too, not that it would have helped his knees any. damn shame, lucky he's alive like Gary Busey. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

multiple fractures
7 hours of reconstructive surgery to the face by four surgeons is a
big operation... ouch.... had he been wearing a helmet on the fastest production bike made... he might have walked away. 
wearing a helmet:
i think when your touring through winding roads in the foliage season with little to no traffic is one thing.....but in the city??? no way. |

Smart player on the field, but not a very bright guy off the field it seems. Wear your freakin helmet Ben. I know you want everyone to see you cruising around on your bike to inflate your ego, but i hope that was worth it. Dude is lucky to be alive. Poor choice to ride helmetless on his part. Not smart Ben |

Better check the fine print of his contract. Maybe Steelers don't have to honor his contract being injuried on a motorcycle!!!! |

No guaranteed contracts in the NFL anyway (except for bonuses) so they could release him tomorrow if they want.

No "motorcycle clause" but there is a general statement about dangerous behavior. He had been warned not to ride the bike w/o a helmet. He isn't suppose to miss any games, so they won't want to piss him off and prob. won't fine him. |
