Guest CincyInDC Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 [quote]Ben Roethlisberger Relieved To Suffer Football-Related Injury October 25, 2006 | Onion Sports ATLANTAâ€â€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] [url="http://www.theonion.com/content/node/54500?utm_source=onion_rss_daily"]http://www.theonion.com/content/node/54500...onion_rss_daily[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 [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...... #1[/quote] found this funny post from one of the trolls in the stealers newsgroup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
