You might have won a Super Bowl...


But you still aren't that smart if you don't wear a helmet while riding a motorcycle. Pittsburgh was looking good again this season, not having lost too many players to free agency and picking up some good prospects in the draft. One of the key components of a championship team in the NFL is the quarterback. Without Big Ben last year, we don't make the playoffs. Well, we might not be making the playoffs this year. ESPN is reporting Big Ben has been in an accident where he wasn't wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle. Supposedly, he went headfirst into a windshield of the car that was involved in the accident. Why wouldn't you wear a helmet? Ben plays a game where 300+ pound defensive linemen are trying to take his head off but he wears a helmet. Yet, while riding a motorcycle he all of the sudden has a big "S" on his chest. Things on the road weigh considerablely more than these linemen and hurt a lot more. Maybe he didn't like to mess up his hair, whatever hair he had. For whatever reason, the option of not wearing a helmet should not be an option. Afterall that has happened with professional athletes with motorcycles, their use should be banned by an explicit line item in the contract. Let me look on the bright side, we still are the defending Super Bowl champions, all season long regardless if we make the playoffs or not!! Come on Ben. Just say "Pop!"
