| PITTSBURGH (AP) - Ben Roethlisberger won't have any trouble remembering the hit that gave the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback his latest concussion. "It felt like it busted my whole jaw," he said Wednesday.He also won't forget the crude comment made by one of the three Atlanta Falcons players who, while sacking him Sunday, apparently taunted Roethlisberger by saying he wanted to hit him in his surgically repaired face. Roethlisberger took part in limited work during practice Wednesday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Oakland, despite receiving his second concussion in about four months. He has not been cleared by doctors to play but, if he is, plans to "beg and plead" with coach Bill Cowher to do so. "If you ask me, I'm always leaning toward playing, no matter what it is," he said Wednesday. "But it's something we have to be smart about." Roethlisberger, who led the Steelers to a Super Bowl win last season, was injured during a helmet-to-helmet hit by defensive end Chauncey Davis immediately after releasing a pass during the third quarter. Roethlisberger also was sandwiched by defensive lineman Patrick Kerney and linebacker Ed Hartwell. "They got me from every angle," he said. More |

Re: Big Ben? More like little *****!
This could mark the end for Big Ben. Alot of people may think, I'm off my rocker for saying that. But 2 concussions in 4 months? If he keeps getting these concussions his career is shot.

What a puss. Cower probably said he wanted to ruin Ben's face after the game, and Ben got confused.Comment

Re: Big Ben? More like little *****!
i have never been a fan of ben. i don't care how great he played for his short time period. i never gave in to the whole young renegade quarterback buzz. i can't believe he would actually whine that someone was being a big bully on the field. that accident has made him a fragile little girl. pull that 'i got your nose' trick on the field with him, he'll probably drop the ball and follow you around crying to get it back

He acts like he's such a bad ass tough guy James Dean wannabe by riding around on a motorcycle with no helmet, then he cries like a four year old. "If you guys don't stop making fun of me, I'm telling!"
Sorry, Ben, but your dumb ass got yourself into the accident, now you have to face the repercussions like a man. Suck it up and play football.
And I thought Eli Manning and Tom Brady were crybabies.Comment

Re: Big Ben? More like little *****!
He was hit hard on a helmet to helmet hit! He is a tough quarterback who has led his team to the Superbowl! Get off his back! Just because he is having a down year everyone is ready to throw in the towel and call him overrated. ALL quarterbacks have that year where they would like to just forget about it all. (No concussion jokes please) He's been in a motorcycle accident, had his appendix removed, had 2 concussions and he still wants to play! Yeah, real wimp there! Give me a break!Go Bills!
Go Sabres!

Re: Big Ben? More like little *****!
I fail to see where he is crying about anything. It looks like he simply stated what happened.

Re: Big Ben? More like little *****!
Yes he is a puss. Helmet to helmet? when? Last I checked the guy was driving in with his SHOULDER and ben was on his way down and got clocked in the jaw. Notice how no flag was thrown nor no fine handed out.Originally posted by scott51Comment

Re: Big Ben? More like little *****!
Why say anything at all? Boo Hoo, the Falcons taunted me. Who gives a ****? Does he really believe that he is the first player to ever be taunted after a sack? A real man would just take into account what happened and took care of business instead of going to the press.Originally posted by BillsNickYou think you're hot **** in a champagne glass, but you're really cold diarrhea in a Dixie cup!Comment

Re: Big Ben? More like little *****!
I have Chauncey Davis in the BZFL do I get bonus points for this?I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: Big Ben? More like little *****!
The way I read it was that all he was saying was "you hit me in the face, I've picked up a bit of damage there, lets see if you have such a big mouth the next time we meet up"Originally posted by kinigirly
I so hate it when my team whether it be NFL, soccer, rugby, taunt or mouth of at an opponent .... I mean why the hell are you trying to motivate them?
When Bills players do that, I think stop it, because you've just encouraged the guy to come back stronger ........................Comment
