This blog is 2/3 Pittsburgh at heart...usually it's while we're drunk and in Pittsburgh...but who's keeping track? The Celebhijinx Idiot of the Week Award (I just made that one up...wittier name to come) goes to Ben Roethisberger, the 24 year-old nobody who just led the Steelers (Stillers) to a Superbowl victory. He crashed his motorcycle and wasn't wearing a helmet (this is PA's legislative answer to expediting survival of the fittest). Roethlisberger was on his black 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa (what the fcuk kind of crotch rocket is that?) traveling east on 2nd Avenue toward an intersection at the edge of downtown at about 11:10 a.m. A silver Chrysler New Yorker traveling in the opposite direction took a left hand turn, collided with the motorcycle and Roethlisberger was thrown from the bike. He broke his jaw and nose, underwent surgery and is in serious but stable condition. Basically they still don't know the extent of brain damage, if any (See mom, I am putting that last degree to use). Don't worry, the yinzers are out in full effect: Two women who wore Steelers jerseys and had a small cooking grill were waiting across the street from the hospital late Monday. They said they planned to stay there until Roethlisberger leaves. Nichol Mitchell, 35, of Pittsburgh, said they were there "to show some support for his family, for the team." Go Picksburgh! [source]
