[Jetdoc 20]

Wow...

 

Are we looking at Kerry Collins, QB PIT anytime soon?

[Fumbleweed 547]

Maybe they could bring in Kerry Collins if Big Ben misses some time.........

 

Wow...

That would be funny if we were talking about a guy in the movie or mabye a terrorist, but I see nothing funny about that comment considering he is very lucky to be alive and this is a real human being, someone's child.....

 

He is in serious condition and in surgery as we speak and you think it's funny? Maybe you didn't see the dent his head left in the windshield? A real head went into that windshield, not a toy or cartoon caracter. You are classless.

John Clayton just stated on ESPN news that his knees were just scraped from him hitting the pavement, no serious damage to them. He also said he dodged a bullet and seems safe to say he will start the season with no problem.

no offense but what the f does John Clayton know?

 

I give you jack squat.

Literally speaking, terrorists are real human beings and someone's child...so what is your point?

That murf74 has Fatheads of Ben Roethlisberger on his wall so you should be nice to him.

[murf74 461]

Terrorists behead and kill people. Ben throws footballs. You tell me what my point is.

 

You must be one of those Liberal passivists? I won't waste my time with you.

[Gepetto 1,370]

When asked how I like my Roethlisberger, I always answer, "bloody".

 

Low.

 

Hope he's OK. The fact that he was talking to paramedics is great news.

 

You're a pathetic loser. Ashamed that you're a Cornhusker fan. Oh, and they're the Cornhusker's (not the Huskers ).

 

You're probably the fat annoying fock wearing a cornhead on your head at the away games.

 

Why don't you f'ing move to Oklahoma, you'd fit in there!

Question for Mike FF Today, Fumbleweed, etc. - why is this idiot still allowed to post here?

This is about the tenth time you have used this thread to engage in this kind of antagonism. Please stop. Thanks.

According to a police source, Roethlisberger suffered a broken jaw, broke his left sinus cavity, suffered a 9-inch laceration to the back of his head, lost many teeth and has severe injuries to his knees from hitting the pavement.

[DanXIII 8]

Around here? Are you serious? You do realize that people have been posting that they will be drafting Tatum Bell in the 3rd round this year if he slips this far.....bwahahahahahaha. You call this mature?

 

 

As for Ben, get well soon.

Dude, you were WAY late with that info.

 

Hope Ben is ok, but man is he stupid for not learning from the soldja's mistake.

"minor injuries to his knees from hitting the pavement"

 

Lets get the facts straight early. The reports right now are scrapes to the knees. The most serious injuries involve his head including a broken jaw, and nose, and the laceration. I would anticipate him being held out of contact drills for about two months to make sure the head inuries are healed up. I would think he can be working out again in under a month and shouldnt affect him starting day on day one of the regular season. This is based upon preliminary reports, but the main thing Im looking at for a QB is arms legs and brain damage. Seems as though the skull is intact and no concussion; arms are good to go and the legs have some superficial wounds and ligaments, tendons, muscle are all good. Quite a scare and he's gotta be hurting, but at this point I wouldnt say it affects his football future. IE, dont be picking up Charlie Batch in the fifth round of your FF draft.

Plus, most drafts won't be until August anyway. By then we'll know a lot more about how this affects his season. Most of us have time to wait until we really know the extent of his injuries and how long it'll take to recover before deciding how this affects our draft plans.

 

Take a deep breath, people.

Everything I'm reading and/or seeing on sports shows tonite says the the police report is saying he has serious injury to his knees.

 

I'd think scrapes aren't considered 'serious'.

I just heard on local radio, "serious injuries to both knees", and that at the time of the last update he'd been in surgery for 4+ hours.

 

This is sounding kind of sketchy.

If it's in the police report, I'm pretty sure he has serious damage to his knees.

 

Obviously, they aren't going to release that info right away as they wouldn't know until he actually GOT to the hospital and surgery had started.

 

It would be ashame to see his bright future be flushed down the toilet.

 

I thought he would be driving a Harley or something, but he was driving a crotch rocket with no helmet...your basically sitting on top of those handlebars asking to be catapulted.

[sfreeman 0]

I know that most of you are worried about his knees and whether he will need surgery. That is an obvious concern, but my wife was in a car accident on a similiar level and still is having issues mentally (multitasking, forgetful, etc). These might be a bigger concern considering all that a NFL QB must process on every play. I'm sure he'll be fine, but there is a lot that could impact his ultimate return and success upon his return.

[Phurfur 70]

Why is there so much more love for Ben than there was K. Winslow? I think the clip from Terry Bradsaw on the Link is very telling. Big Ben is an idiot.

[murf74 461]

Multiple face fractures, all repaired successfully.

 

7 hrs of surgery

 

Brain, spine, midsection, and chest all checked out w/o serious injury and no other injuries to his body to report at this time.

 

There will be no update tonight as his condition should remain the same. Next update tomorrow afternoon.

 

No mention of broken jaw or nose unless that is assumed, but you would think they would have mentioned at least his jaw being wired shut or something. But I wouldn't describe a broken jaw as a facial fracture????????? But I am no doctor.

 

He seems to have gotten lucky. Hopefully his eyesight is OK too, that is the only thing I can think of that would also be a problem in his head.....since his brain has checked out OK.

I don't really give him any love at all, on or off the field he is a rival of my favorite team and why should he get headlines for an accident when tons of regular joes get in these situations everyday?

 

He is being paid by an organization which has invested millions of dollars on him and he drives around on a little racing bike with no helmet on? It's just stupidity on his part. He's as stupid as KW2 was/is.

 

For some reason, ever since I watched that 2005 clip with Cowher/Roeth talking about how he rides and doesnt wear a helmet I saw this coming from a mile away.

[murf74 461]

I honestly was just waiting for this to happen. Not necessarily thinking he would go head first, but I thought something like Winslow and break a let or arm getting in a motorcycle wreck. Someone cuts you off quickly, doesn't matter how safe you are. I was not at all surprised by this, cause you can just see he has that young, invincible attitude. He has not grown up and this should go a long ways to getting him more mature.

 

I still don't understand how he could walk away with only facial fractures and I still have to believe a broken jaw.

 

I am waiting for another bomb to drop. I have a feeling there will be an "oh yeah". But the doctor didn't say anything about re-evaluating any possible problems. I am sure they looked him over and would have done any other surgeries such as legs, arms, hands possibly right after the cosmetic stuff.

An initial police report of a traffic accident generally wouldnt specifically outline injuries; the guys arent doctors or paramedics, I beleive the "serious" mention is a mere generalization. It is what it is, he was airborne and seemed to catch a brunt of the impact on his noggin, scraping his knees as he landed. They could be pretty severely scraped, but I wouldnt anticipate a motion affecting condition since no fracture to the lower extremities was mentioned. Traditionally a ligament tear isnt assiciated with this type of accident.

[Fumbleweed 547]

Why is there so much more love for Ben than there was K. Winslow? I think the clip from Terry Bradsaw on the Link is very telling. Big Ben is an idiot.

 

Because, for one, I think Ben's accident was much more serious. I dont' believe Winslow was ever in 'serious' condition. He tore up his knee and a few other things, but his accident was nowhere near the severity of this one.

 

I don't really give him any love at all, on or off the field he is a rival of my favorite team and why should he get headlines for an accident when tons of regular joes get in these situations everyday?

What if it were Tom Brady? Would you still be asking why it should get headlines?

Contrary to Winslow, Ben was actually able to get his bike out of the parking lot before he wrecked it; and even then, it wasn't his fault as someone pulled out in front of him.

Because this is the QB that just won the Superbowl (youngest age by the way) - whereas Winslow was a spoiled punk who held out for more money and had half of the NFL fans hating him before he ever played a game.

 

The fact that you have to ask makes you a tool.

[neworleansff2003 0]

fault has not been assigned AFA the public knows mr. investigator.

Cause Winslow is a motha fudgin soldja. I hope Big Ben is 100% soon but the fact still remains he was waayyyyy careless here. Nothing different than what happened to Winslow. Somtimes these athletes just feel they are invincible and it takes a dose of reality like this to get their heads screwed on right and put things into perspective a little bit. For his sake let's just hope this turns out to be a scare and nothing more.....everyone makes mistakes and is entitled to a second chance. Assuming his knees are fine a helmet probably would have kept him from even having to go to the hospital, hopefully lesson learned.

As I said before - dumb thing to do, but done is done - godspeed for a speedy recovery.

Well, Winslow did a sort of "hold my beer and watch this!" kinda thing.

 

Ben was just going for a pack of cools and some lady T-Boned him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

not like George "T-Bone" Castansa, mind you

[JetsFan28 0]

This just in: Chad Pennington has now taken over as the #1 quarterback in all of football. He was #2 behind Big Ben, but with the injury, he is bumped up.

 

 

Seriously though, get well soon Ben.

[TerrySilver 0]

wish him well, but i guess he was lying last year when he said he rides in groups and that he doesnt rides sportsbike, only harleys and choppers, you know, those bikes used for cruisin' around.

 

turns out the bike he was riding was one of those super sportsbike (suzuki hayabusa), which according to suzuki:

 

"So when we claim that the Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R is the fastest production bike on the planet, we're merely stating the facts. " (note: states this about the 2006 model, not sure if ben was riding the '06 or '07)

For all the booger eatin' morons that need to compare this accident to Kellen Winslow's:

 

1. Kellen was breaking the law when he crashed, Ben was not.

2. Ben is an established NFL player and superbowl winner with class. Kellen is a cocky punk that hasnt done anything in the NFL.

3. Kellen's accident was 100% his fault, he was screwing around and crashed in a parking lot. Ben had an old lady cut him off, nothing he could do.

 

 

FYI Im a Packer fan.

Bingo. 7 hours of surgery tells me there were some pressing things that needed to get taken care of immediately. Once he wakes up and starts checking out his body, I can see some other injuries popping up. And I disagree with doing the other surgeries right after the 7 hour one for two reasons. One, 7 hours is a long time. No need to stress out his body any longer for something 'minor'. Two, I've seen multiple injuries where surgery had to wait for swelling to go down.

 

Either way, looks like he dodged the big one.
