Plenty of talk about this and the fact Cowher let him ride without a helmet for over a year. Typically i recall Ben saying he was a careful rider :roll: and "it wont happen to me" attitude which sucks. Suprised Cowher let him get away with it but i suspect he will be the last NFL player to be allowed to ride without a helmet by his head coach.

Our season is over before it has begun if he doesnt make it back ok. Hopefully his facial injuries are superficial and his lacerations are not too deep.

I doubt the team will criticise him or take any money from him, they must understand his importance to the team for years to come.

Not happy tho.

I am amazed he would take the risk, as a part of his bonus would be taken back. Sounds like Ben will be ok for the start of the season in Sept.

Have you ever heard him speak? I'd accuse him of being thick as 2 short planks but as he has to learn the playbook i'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
