He crashed his bike and had to have fractures to his face and jaw repaired. He suffered a 9-inch gash to the back of his head, and lost most of his teeth in the crash. His nose was broke.
Has Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger been victimized by the Chunky Soup Curse? According to ArmchairGM, he might very well have been claimed as the next victim.
ArmchairGM has the scoop:
'The Chunky Soup Curse is a mythical hex that seems to follow NFL players who appear in ads for Campbell's Chunky Soup.
The Curse was independently discovered and originally popularized by Dan Lewis in September of 2002. Offensive players who appeared in Chunky Soup ads tend to fall prey to serious injuries, as often do their backups.
A potential reason for the affliction is that the original ads featured actresses purporting to be the players' mothers. This is no longer the case -- at least as far as Donovan McNabb is concerned. His actual mother now appears in his ads (as does his father)."'
This week at Heinz Field, Roethlisberger and his mother, Brenda, were to start shooting a national commercial for Campbell's Chunky Soup. The Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback was also to be joined by a group of his closest friends: his offensive linemen. The commercial was scheduled to air starting Sept. 7.
