What a dumbass. From an interview he had....

ESPN: How much do you view riding a motorcycle as a risk?
Roethlisberger: I think it can be a risk. It depends on how you ride. I don't ride a sport bike.

Roethlisberger lost most of his teeth, fractured his left sinus cavity bone, suffered a nine-inch laceration to the back of his head and a broken jaw, and severely injured both of his knees when he hit the ground, police said.

well i'm sure that can't be good for his football carear. I bet he sure wishes he was wearing a helmet and armor right now

Nooooo

I am a big fan of Big Ben and this could be the end of his career before it even gets into full swing. I can't believe this chit.

to him for not wearing a helmet. Can't believe he's not dead, time will tell but I don't think he will play this season.

It depends on what the damage to his knees was.

Also, as a QB the broken sinus/jaw stuff multiplies the risk factor for head trauma related chronic injuries by god knows how much. It took aikman 8 concussions to fold up a hall of fame career. I'm not sure it'd take that many concussions at all before rothlisberger might see some really terrible effects.

rich bastard couldn't even afford frame sliders! lol

then again, he'd just buy a new bike. His bike looks pretty similar to the damage to mine, and sort of the same accident. Only difference, I WORE A HELMET, and had a severe concussion, rather then lose my face, teeth, yadda yadda yadda.

i do wish him the best .. even though it was a stupid move, and i am anything BUT a fan of his.

JMU R1 put it best in another forum:

"He doesn't wear a helmet with 2000 lb cars around but he does with 280 pound linemen around.

I love this comment by the coloumist Nick Signorelli.

Every single time Ben Roethlisberger straps his helmet on, he is taking the chance that his career is going to end. He could drop back to pass at practice and BAM, knee blown out. He could drop back to pass and CRACK, get his leg broken like Joe Theisman. He could run a boot leg during a game and WHAM, get hit like Troy Aikman when Lavar Arrington ended his career
