Roethlisberger Latest Bone”head” Athlete
Last year I torched Kellen Winslow Jr. for getting on a motorcycle, without any proper training and making like The Star Boyz before smashing his bike and most of his body onto a curb in a parking lot. The injuries he incurred cost him the entire 2005 season and quite a but of lettuce as well. At the time, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger spoke of his own obscession with motorcycles and his preference not to wear a helmet. At the time, I thought, “What an idiot…You have everything, why risk it?”
Well, this morning Big Ben got a BIG wake-up call. He was involved in an accident on his bike, and slammed into a windshield head-first — not wearing a helmet. It appears initially that he will be ok, but I sit here and ask myself the same question.
I can’t ssay what I would do if I were lucky enough to have world-class talent in a particular sport, but as someone who doesn’t it is very hard to watch these guys continually make stupid decisions. I sincerely hope Ben isn’t injured seriously, and also hopes he makes wiser decisions in the future….
