Otis Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 just curious what the "otis play" - as part of the otis play series... has to say now. It was my mistake. I expected him to be smarter than this. By the way, for the dude above considering selling the bike ... do it. I owned one for a couple years and it was a blast but I came close twice to eating it, the second time close enough to something serious that I decided it is just not worth the risk. I was fortunate -- I have friends who rode who were not as lucky. Oh, and I was wearing a helmet an armored jacket. It's still not enough. If you have a need for speed, go buy a sports car. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunysteelfly76 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Latest word is sprained knees. Jun 12, 2006 4:22 pm US/Eastern Sources: Ben Injured Head, Face (KDKA) PITTSBURGH Sources tell KDKA that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger broke his jaw, fractured facial bones, suffered lacerations to the front and back of his head and sprained both his knees in a motorcycle accident this morning. Both injuries to his knees, however, are not believed to be serious. Roethlisberger also lost teeth in the accident. This afternoon, doctors at Mercy Hospital reported that he was listed in "serious, but stable condition" and was undergoing surgery early this afternoon. At this point, the hospital has not yet given another update on his condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, the hospital has not yet given another update on his condition. Was just about to report the exact same thing, which was reported on Fox News and also on a local Pittsburgh radio show by Leigh Steinberg. Looks like we are looking at: A few missing teeth Broken jaw Fractured part of his nose Laceration on back of head Sprained and cut up knees (not believed to be serious) He got SOOOOOOO lucky !!!!!!!! That SOB should immediately sell his bikes !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donutrun Jellies Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Here's hoping Ben comes out of this able to live a normal life ... if he can return to the STEEEELERS, all the better, but head injuries are seeerious things, so here's hoping he's okay from that standpoint.

Haven't been any mentions of any serious concussions or brain trauma. I think Ben lucked out big time in this time. He really could have been killed.

TimC Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I love the internets on Breaking News day. You go from nothing to killed to all his teeth knocked out to out 7-8 weeks to a scratch to whether or not he was stupid all in 5 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duchess Jack Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 KW2 was said to have 'sprained knees' just after his accident as well. I am sure they haven't had time to give him a proper MRI. I would not be surprised if there is a tear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) KW2 was said to have 'sprained knees' just after his accident as well. I am sure they haven't had time to give him a proper MRI. I would not be surprised if there is a tear I agree. www.pittsburghchannel.com reports that the knee injuries are severe but on tv the news just said the knee injuries aren't severe. ***************** http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/9356067/detail.html Roethlisberger In Surgery After Bike Crash Big Ben's Mom Arrives At Hospital POSTED: 11:50 am EDT June 12, 2006 UPDATED: 4:53 pm EDT June 12, 2006 Email This Story | Print This Story PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is undergoing surgery after a motorcycle accident on Monday morning, doctors at Mercy Hospital said. Roethlisberger is in serious but stable condition, according to Dr. Larry Jones. 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. A plastic surgeon has been called in, the source said. *********************** I am really glad that he survived the accident. He is lucky for that. I guess only time will tell if he will be able to play football again. I hope for the best! Edited June 12, 2006 by max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
