Big Ben Update
Roethlisberger was in surgery for SEVEN hours yesterday as doctors worked to rebuild his face; however, the Steelers are already claiming that he'll be ready for camp. At this point, how can the team possibly know if he'll ever be able to play again, much less be in camp this year? I hate to speculate at this point, but you have to wonder if the bones and plates in his head will be strong enough to withstand an NFL hit, especially a blind side crack from a blitzing safety? Not to mention that the main eye witness told the press that Ben had severe damage to his eye in addition to the 9 inch laceration to the back of his head. We hope he has a full and swift recovery, but it just doesn't sound good at this point. Follow this LINK to pictures of the accident.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Ben's bones will be fine come training camp. See, there's this wonderful little elixir called HGH. And the beauty of it is, they can't test for it! But now here's the sexy pay, they won't hold blood samples for the day that they do finally have a reliable test. Gene Upshaw's (head of the player's union) stance is that it is a violation of privacy and a healthy safety issue to "take" blood from players. Urine on the other hand, well, they are "giving" that to the testers. Bottom line: HGH and BJ's from 20-year old Playboy Bunnies can do wonders.
