Roethlisberger a lucky man; condition upgraded

Ben Roethlisberger should consider himself a lucky man. Just hours after telling Cleveland's WTAM 1100 host Bill Wills that he is extremely blessed and thanks God for the good fortune in his life on Monday, Big Ben was involved in a motorcycle crash in downtown Pittsburgh.

The latest on Roethlisberger is that his condition has been upgraded from serious to fair as he recovers from fractures in his upper and lower jaws, a broken nose, multiple head lacerations, a mild concussion, and the loss of two teeth as well as several other chipped teeth.

After claiming he was "blessed" before all of this happened I am going to have to agree that Big Ben is indeed blessed and maybe a little lucky as well. This entire incident could be much more tragic; instead reports are that Big Ben has no brain damage and is completely aware of what happened. While speculation about his football career is everywhere, what matters the most is that Roethlisberger is expected to recover from this accident completely.
