Peyton Manning’s head may be he only thing ever to defeat concrete.

Unless it’s in January or February…

Of course the real shocker here is that best quote on this came from Joey Porter. If Joey Porter understands the dangers of riding a motorcyle without a helmet, you must be a comple freaking moron to not understand that concrete and asphalt always win…

Fucking dumbass.

This would never happen to Peyton Manning, he’s at home studying film. Do you think he owns a motorcycle? He doesn’t even own a motorcycle video game because all of his games are Madden and all he does is watch tapes of peoples games.

They may say Ben is fine but in Week 9 he’ll pull down his pants and take a shit on the 40 yard line and people will go “uh oh”.

Young guys make mistakes, And hopefully Ben comes out of this okay and had learned his lesson…..Why the hatered from Bettis, jerloma???? Because he’s not flashy and a loud mouth??? Or that at his age, he bowled over Urlacher?? He’e a great player with his own style!!!!

Golden, you are correct. J.J. got busted for making an illegal U-turn, and then blew a .12 – not quite as splendiferous as Kerry Collins and his .29 in Charlotte nearly a decade ago, but still…

What is the most amazing part about that story is that’s the first time JJ has ever been seen driving in the lane.

Yea yea yea, I can’t distinguish my washed up AL East third basemen from the LPGA Annika-ettes. Don’t let MJD take my Iron City away from me now.

Okay, now I have to retract tat part about the license because apparently Ben may not have one either. Time to grow up Ben.

This may end up being a blessing in disguise for the Steelers as you’d have to think Ben will take a lesson from it. If not, that’s really unfortunate. Just to clarify, KW was riding in a parking lot trying to pop wheelies and wasn’t even a licensed motorcycle driver. He was however wearing a helmet. There was no lesson to belearned from KW unless that lesson is just don’t ride motorcycles.

I fucking hate Jerome Bettis. Hate him. I wish he’d just go away.

Who the f*** is “Kelly Grubbis”? You mean Kelly Gruber, the ex-Blue Jay 3rd baseman? Maybe Natalie Gulbis, the semi-talented golfer that Ben was hitting a while back (and by semi-talented, I mean she’s in the Kournikova category of Look Good, Play OK).

Ben and all the other bike enthusiasts can go on and on about being safe and helmets cutting down on peripheral vision, but that’s not gonna save anyone from an accident when it’s not your fault. You know, like when a 60-year-old woman fails to yield and you get your head knocked into her windshield and off the street as a result.

In related stupid athlete news JJ Redick was arrested for DUI last night.

I hate myself for being happy about this after all dirnking and driving puts people’s lives in danger but my hatred of Duke is too strong.

For a guy who has a t-shirt that says “drink like a champion today,” you expect about as much. But that being said, you can’t really be pissed at Ben per se, as most males his age (and almost all males 18 -30) think they’re invincible. Hopefully he’ll pull through, and the first thing he’ll do when he gets out is go buy a fucking helmet. You can’t expect all 62 year olds to see a motorcycle before they try to squeeze in the last left turn before the red light.

and yet, the driver of the vechicle who started the accident, Carson Palmer, was unavailable for comment.

As for facial surgery – you think Kelly Grubbis is looking up him anymore?

Well said, MJD. Especially the bit about the man law.

Sometimes those blind-side safety blitzes can literally be a bitch.

I ride a bike similar to Big Bens (mine cost like 5k and im sure his was like 20k, but whatever) and I live in a real small town, like 2500 people. I never wear my helmet when I am driving around through town because the speed limit never gets up over 30 mph anywhere. But anytime I know I’m hitting the highway and I’m gonna be doing 60-80 mph I put my fucking helmet on and gloves and whatever other bodily protection I can find. If i could wear an entire goalie outfit and still be able to fit my ass on the bike I’d do it. Some helmets do cut peripheral vision a bit, but it is definately worth taking the minor vision cut than wrecking the bike once without a helmet. As for the hearing part, what do you really need to hear? Wearing a helmet and riding a bike is no different than when you drive in your car and blast your fucking radio at deafening levels.
