re: Ben Roethlisberger suffers rare, dangerous injury
he's a supremely physically gifted athlete with the impulse control of a dead maggot, the morals of a street mutt and the smarts of a pimple brained pinhead.
sorta fits right into the preferred Steeler player profile.

EDIT: I guess I really can't complain though. We did make the SB last year by beating exactly one team all year that finished with a winning record overall, and needed a miracle shanked 24 yarder to do so
Opponents Records in 2011 *If you take out the Patriots game
So if we'd lost those 7 games, they would have all been against "teams with a winning record," but since we beat them, they did not have a winning record. That's a lot of quality wins right there.
re: Ben Roethlisberger suffers rare, dangerous injury
Why do I think that this injury is overblown just so Roethlisberger can play Sunday and get press for being some kind of Superman who "overcame" a life threatening injury to start a game? I don't believe any injury reported about Roethlisberger.
Mankins played an entire year with a torn ACL and not only did we not know about it, but it was six months after the surgery that we found out it was an injury suffered week one of the season and he didn't get surgery on it until the following February.
re: Ben Roethlisberger suffers rare, dangerous injury
I played through a lot of injuries, sometimes even just in pickup games, and sometimes it was a very stupid thing to do, but they were never of the life threatening variety. I hope that Roethlisberger and the Steelers exercise good judgement on this one.

IF they won those games, but they didn't. What you see in the numbers 8-8 or 6-10 is a direct reflection of how that team performed over the course of that season. We beat exactly one team that was worthy of a winning record.

The same goes for Ellis Hobbs who we didn't know had a bad back throughout the playoffs in 2007/08 but we heard nothing about it until sometime in march
re: Ben Roethlisberger suffers rare, dangerous injury
In his effort to be viewed as a normal person, as opposed to a sex driven neanderthal... he gets an exotic injury, so he can witness the birth of his first child.
Better than not showing up for work on a Sunday..
