Ben Roethlisberger injured

As reported all across every sports network, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger was injured in Pittsburgh today while driving his motocycle without a helmet. He collided with another vehicle and hit the vehicle's windshield with his head. Again, he was not wearing a helmet.

He was taken to a local hospital and is in serious but stable condition.

As of this post, he is in the O.R. undergoing surgery.

Our thoughts are with him, and we all hope Ben makes a complete and speedy recovery. For more info as it develops, visit www.BehindtheSteelCurtain.com: our Steelers blog.

Big Ben
I can't understand for the life of me how pro athletes like Roethlisberger who have everything going for them can be that stupid. I mean riding a motorcycle is dangerous enough, but to ride without a helmet is absolutely moronic. Just can't understand what they're thinking, they must really think they're superhuman, I don't know.

I don't know either
I just hope he's ok. I'll post more about it when I get more info.
