Ben Roethlisberger's motorcycle crash, monday, broke his jaw and nose and he lost some teeth. (I expect to see the teeth on E-Bay.) A team of four Pittsburgh doctors labored for 7 hours to repair all of the fractures. He was lucky.
Roethlisberger was on his black 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa, which, according to the Suzuki Web site, is the fastest production bike made.
Roethlisberger has said in the past that he prefers not to wear a helmet when riding his motorcycle. He has pointed out Pennsylvania's state law requiring helmets to be worn was repealed in September 2003.
Irony? Roethlisberger became the youngest quarterback, at 23, to win the Super Bowl. He has become a multi millionaire playing a game that requires the use of a helmet. Like it or not, Ben, you're a role model for millions of kids.
Terry Bradshaw, who quarterbacked the Steelers to four Super Bowl victories during the 1970s once advised Roethlisberger, "Ride it when you retire."
