The official 'Get Well Soon Ben Rothlisberger' thread.
As many of you already know, Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback Ben Rothlisberger was injured in a motorcycle accident earlier today. The latest news is that he's at hospital in serious but stable condition. So I decided to start a "Get Well Soon Ben" thread.

Let's send Ben Rothlisberger our best wishes for a full recovery.

"Get Well Soon Ben"

1. Fellow Pennsylvanian here
I hope he recovers fully. He is a definite winner, and it would be a shame for his career to be cut short.

3. Hear hear!
I am surprised there was nothing in his contract about no motorcycles.

Get well soon Ben!

8. What?
I said I hope he feels well! I don't wish any harm on him - seems like a pretty good guy. And heck, he was my pick to be the best QB in his draft.

However, I'd also like for him to sit a year or two. Just 'cuz. Nothing wrong with that! I just want to, ya know, make sure he's ALL the way healthy before he goes back out there! Yeah! No other reason... <whistling inconspicuously>

all things considered.

I hope the surgery is uncomplicated and he heals quickly.

9. Glad to hear he's alert
I was thinking about his life at first, but since it appears he'll be ok, I hope he can return sometime. He just has "it" and makes quarterbacking look methodical. Even when not at his best, he helps his team somehow.

10. Get well Ben
Your health and well being means more to me than football. It's certainly surreal hearing about this than hearing about something else.

20. Get well, buy a helmet
The time it takes to properly gear up for a ride is, roughly, the same amount of time it takes a doctor to explain why you won't be walking again.
