Roethlisberger lost most of his teeth, fractured his left sinus cavity bone, suffered a nine-inch laceration to the back of his head and a broken jaw, and severely injured both of his knees when he hit the ground, police said.

A plastic surgeon has been summoned.

"He is right now in the (operating room) undergoing some surgery from injuries he received in this accident today," said Dr. Larry Jones, chief of trauma and burns at Mercy Hospital, Uptown. ... He was talking to me before he left for the OR. He's coherent. He's making sense. He knows what happened."

Roethlisberger, 24, who was not wearing a helmet, collided with a Chrysler New Yorker shortly before 11:25 a.m. and was thrown off his motorcycle, flying head-first into the car's windshield "with a pretty good force," said a veteran city police officer.

Big Ben also received a pretty serious head injury and one witness to the accident said he had no idea where he was (he asked what city he was in) after the accident. This guy is hurt more than just a broken jaw and bunged up knees. If this is a serious head injury, his career could be in serious jeopardy.

How stupid can you be anyway. Unless you have a death wish, you just don't ride around on a 189 MPH crotch-rocket with no head protection. Especially if you mean what he does to the Steeler franchise and to the city. This was an exceptionally stupid situation to put yourself in, especially when you're the star quarterback for the current superbowl champs.
