    ESPN reports Motorcycle accident, in surgery as of this post. Critical but stable condition. No helmet on. What a fool.

    Somebody posted an aritcle from a year ago where the not wearing a helmet was discussed and he said he was a safe rider or something like that.....

    After Sgt. Winslow and now Big Ben, you have to assume that new contracts will address that will the rookies.

    I guess he'll have the Dan Issell (do you guys remember him?) look for awhile. Going to be a complex dental reconstruction if he's lost a lot of bone in addition to the teeth. But it's possible that the teeth were merely avulsed with little damage to the bone or even snapped off at the gum line, in that case it'll be mostly expensive.

    People that don't wear helmets, have nothing important to protect. I heard a doctor doing a presentation refer to bikes as "donorcycles."
