Ben Roethlisberger’s injury could ‘kill him’ if ribs press against*aorta | SI Tracking Blog

Shades of Drew Bledsoe, in that he came close to dying from an unusual blood vessel issue in the chest, but surely will be fine.

Well at least the number of sexual assaults in the area will likely go down as well.

Beat me by a minute. I was about to say "in b4 the rape joke".

Pardon my selfish thinking here but this just HAD to happen right before the Baltimore games didn't it :rolleyes: Seriously who needs Ray Lewis or Webb when the refs giftwrap you one of your two games against winning teams, then play creampuffs rest of the way except for Den and NYG. Watch something happen to those teams the week before.

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 :)

Well now that's something a normal and well adjusted person would say.

Anyone see the interview with Ben? I get that the injury is serious, but this guy never fails to tell everyone how hurt he is and dramatize it. It's like he wants to make sure everyone knows how tough he is and the media eats it right up.

There are a lot of quarterback in the league who suffer bruised ribs, separated shoulders, leg injuries, etc, but you never hear them talk about them the way he does. Can anyone imagine Brady, Manning, or Brees talking about their injuries as extensively and dramatically as Ben does? Even QBs like Rivers, Cutler, and Romo don't talk to the media like that.

Justin Houston fan club?

I know, but F squeeler fans.

Roethlisberger hyping up his own injuries so people will talk about how much of a warrior he is when he triumphantly beats all odds and steps on the field much sooner than anticipated? That's so unlike him. :rolleyes:

seriously.

Brady wouldn't say anything and still be called a pretty boy. Tom never gets enough credit for toughness, outside of New England.

Roethlisburger is just setting us up for his Schilling bloody sock moment.
