Speaking on behalf of all Bengal fans, I say the only way I want to see that guy go down is in the arms of one of our defensive players. Come on Ben, you've got to pull through. I want you at full strength when we kick your team's butt.
Get well soon.

ROETHLISBERGER IN SURGERY
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger currently is undergoing surgery for injuries suffered in a Monday morning automobile accident.
Dr. Larry Jones of Mercy Hospital declined to offer any details regarding the nature of the surgery.
Roethlisberger is listed in serious but stable condition. Dr. Jones said that Roethlisberger was alert and talking before the commencement of the procedure.
Reporters on WTAE are speculating that Roethlisberger is having surgery to repair jaw injuries.

NO WORD YET ON BIG BEN'S CONDITION
All parties remain tight-lipped regarding the condition of Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who is being treated at Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh after being involved in a motorcycle accident at 11:37 a.m. on Monday.
Per WTAE-TV, Steelers chairman Dan Rooney is on his way to the hospital. Teammate Charlie Batch is already at the facility, but has declined to comment.
Team spokesman Dave Lockett told WTAE that he'll defer comment to a specialist, who is expected to address the media by 1:30 p.m.
The most ominous aspect of the story, in our view, is that the matter has been assigned to the homicide department of the Pittsburgh police, which happens whenever (as a police spokesman told WTAE) there's an accident involving "critical" injuries.

I hate the Steelers, but I hope he makes a quick recovery. My girlfriend went to Miami and interviewed him and wrote a feature piece for the school newspaper. From everything I've heard, he sounds like a great guy. In a league filled with guys like Randy Moss and Terrell Owens, Ben Roethlisberger is one of the good guys. Get well soon!

Agreed...can't stand the steelers but you never want something like this top happen to one of the goods guys in football. I can't beleive more teams haven't started putting things in contract forbidding the use of motercycles. |

BIG BEN GETS "VERY LUCKY"
A league source tells us that Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has suffered a broken jaw and various "minor scratches" as a result of his Monday morning motorcycle accident. But, at this point, the team does not believe that he has suffered any serious injuries to body parts that would be used in the playing of football.
"He will have to be thoroughly checked but at this time he looks to be very lucky," said a league source with knowledge of the situation.
We can't fathom Big Ben emerging from the collision without a single arm, hand, elbow, shoulder, leg, knee, hip, ankle, or foot injury that would impact his ability to prepare for and/or play in the 2006 season. The pictures suggest a very serious collision between Roethlisberger's motorcycle and a car. In 2005, for example, concerns regarding the internal injuries suffered by Browns tight end Kellen Winslow when he merely wrecked his motorcycle into a curb quickly gave way to a swollen knee that ultimately was found to have a torn ACL embedded therein.
And if for some reason Roethlisberger couldn't play this year, what would the Steelers do? Make Charlie Batch the starter? Re-sign Tommy Maddox? Bring in Kerry Collins?
Or -- gulp -- bring back Kordell Stewart?
The options would limited, given that the incident happened so late in the offseason. But, for now, it appears that he'll be ready to go after his jaw is healed.
