Serious but stable condition...in OR having surgery. Was coherent.
i'm right outside of Pittsburgh.news is reporting Ben is in serious but stable condition.in surgery at this time for his injuries.he was alert and talking to doctors on his way to surgery.
Word on the street is facial lacerations, broken jaw (ouch) and lost teeth. No word on concussion, if any (probably).
see reply #79.
Of course that's third-hand, so it may not be reliable.
Whew, good, could be so much worse.
he wasn't on his harley today when he crashed.he was on one of those jap crotch rockets
Yeah, I figure he's got a whole stable of playthings.
Cop who was on scene on KDKA now....was concious, glassy eyes, looked OK except for "pretty good head injury". Not able to talk much. Lotsa blood.

And he has some motorcycles, too.

Total idiocy on Ben's part. Not that he deserved this, but he was asking for it. I hope he's back on his feet soon.
On the bright side, the Browns just won the division and the Dolphins' projected W-L record just jumped to 11-5...
Yay!
Damn. Brady just sleeps with hot actresses 10 years his senior and surfs the web for porno.
