[quote]Ben Roethlisberger Relieved To Suffer Football-Related Injury

October 25, 2006 | Onion Sports

ATLANTA—pissburgh stealers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who survived life-threatening injuries as a result of a motorcycle accident during the pre-season and endured an emergency appendectomy in early October, was relieved Sunday to suffer a serious traumatic injury during the course of a football game. "I think things are definitely starting to get back to norb... to nurm... to normal," said a barely conscious Roethlisberger, who suffered a concussion as a result of a helmet-to-helmet collision during the third quarter of pissburgh's game against the Atlanta Falcons. "It was nice to be on the sidelines, in pain, and in full uniform all at the same time, for once." Roethlisberger added that his experiences off the football field have taught him a valuable lesson, and had he not been wearing a regulation helmet during Sunday's game, he could be dead right now.[/quote]

Unbelievable that Ben could even play in the Oakland game because Drs found a heart murmur before kickoff but capt courageous gutted it out anyway, he is set to have a quadruple bypass immediatly after the season.

of course his coaches know nothing of the problem cause Ben doesn't like to worry them with small distractions

[quote]It has been reported today, during Cowher's weekly radio show...

That Ben will wear an inflatable rubber duckie around his waist to soften
any blows that the Broncos may try to do.

Roethlisberger, who is coming off various injuries will also wear a boxing
glove on his throwing hand, as to not injure the THUMB he had problems with
last season.

Ben will also wear the entire equipment that a MLB Catcher wears to absorb
any hits to the mid-section.

Cowher was asked if this could alter his play-calling with Whisenhunt about
the passing game...

and Cowher replied "Its my fault of course, but the main thing....BEN WILL
BE FINE."

Talk to you all tomorrow morning......
