Big Ben was close to death

Yeah...his "excuse" for not wearing a helmet was "I forgot to go in the basement to get it".


I lost even more respect for the guy when I heard that!

I just hate when those that are gifted and blessed wanna roll the dice and be oblivious to prolonging their career. I expect when you sign to a team and become their guy, that contract buys your life, privacy- gone your a celebrity, everything should be committed to football and the org., NFL money doesn't exist its not real, what is it 1% of AMericans are $millionares. Dont be a jackass, others would kill to be in his position to make that money let alone even to be able to continue playing the sport is a god given gift.

They already have a crash test dummy, your a pro athlete, Millions of people are out of work, homeless, sick and dying its a slap in the face when someone is careless enough to disregard safety b/c unconsciously he knows he'll never be that guy. Is he still a hero to Pitt? I dont want to see any cheesy Bob costas or joe buck tributes before games how he overcame w/ slow motion images, of passing. You know its coming. Hopefully he will pull his team down this year.
