Idiot of the Day

The Idiot of the Day Award goes to...
(drumroll please)

Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers! *applause* Yes, folks, even though Ben is the premier quarterback of the Super Bowl champs, he continues to ride his motorcycle without a helmet! Well, that caught up with him today, when he was involved in a crash with a car on Second Avenue in downtown Pittsburgh. The extent of his injuries isn't known, but he is undergoing surgery and, according to ESPN.com:

"The crash happened at an intersection at the edge of downtown at about 11:30 a.m. A pool of blood was still visible there by early afternoon."

*yuck*
Good job, Ben! Your actions today have not only earned you the Idiot of the Day Award, but possibly a horrible injury, and, more than likely, a good chewing out by coach Bill Cowher!

What an idiot. He has a whole career as a multi-million dollar quarterback in the NFL, and he insists on riding his motorcycle without a helmet. As Terry Bradshaw said:

"Ride it when you retire."

Meanwhile...
The US lost to the Czech Republic 3-0.
Horrible, horrible game by the US. No offense whatsoever. I must give the Czechs credit - they sure know how to crowd their defensive zone and shut down any offense. I thought it would've been a better game, because everyone's saying how the US has it's best team ever - didn't look like it to me.
Whatever.

Watch Game 4 tonight!
