I heard him say it makes him feel so free in an interview. I didn't read his condition, but I wonder how free you feel with that brace on your neck while you drive your wheel chair with that stick on your forehead. There was a handicapped kid that was born that way that I went to HS with and he didn't look free. I certainly wish he could have traded his spot in life for someone that cares so little for their own life. It seems like the wrong people are afflicted sometimes, huh???
Anyway - I hope the guy gets well and gets smart.
Condition: Broken nose, broken jaw, lacerations, missing teeth. In my opinion he got off really lucky sustaining only those injuries in an accident in which he was not wearing protective gear.JRB said:

Really lucky. I do hope he's ok, but no helmet on a bike is like getting snake bit in a rattlesnake round up.Polandspring88 said:

That is one of the dumbest things I have heard. Kimo Von Oelhoffen and Carson Palmer are friends and were teammates the year before. Von Oelhoffen was the first person to check on Palmer after the play and he looked pretty bummed that he hurt Palmer.
It was NOT a cheap shot (like when Rodney F'n Harrison rolled up on Trent Green's leg!).
Whatever. QB's getting taken out in the playoffs is pure crap. In 01' Jim Miller took a VERY late hit by Hugh Douglas of the Eagles that put him out of the game in the 1st quarter. All Douglas got was a penalty and a fine, Miller never returned and the Bears lost the game. Miller stayed injured and is now out of the league.
I feel for Carson Palmer.
I feel for Carson Palmer.
He still played 10 games the next year for Chicago.BurlyShirley said:
He's out of the league because he was a crap QB.
He played injured the entire time. Please dont try and start an argument w/ me about Bears history because you will lose. The guy was never the same. Comparing his rating and win % to other Bear QBs in this era, he and Kramer are the best of the bunch.DRB said:

Kramer there's another winner. Like I said, crap QB.BurlyShirley said:
Sweet Jesus I cant wait until the Bears play Carolina again. :redhot:DRB said:
I know down at BA Stadium they are quaking at the thought of the second coming of Jim Miller.BurlyShirley said:
Rex Grossman, in his 2nd start of the year, LIT you guys up with 3rd string receivers in the 2nd half. I firmly beleive the NFC championship game will be in Chicago, with Carolina visiting. Retribution is a bitch.DRB said:
Let me seeBurlyShirley said:
17 of 41 for 192, 1 TD and 1 interception.
OR
24 of 32 for 319, 3 TD and 1 interception.
Yeah somebody got LIT up in that game alright.
As I said, all of it came in the 2nd half, and the Bears were w/ out a corner and 2 safeties. Go ahead and rest on those laurelsDRB said:
Im not saying the guy necessarily did it on purpose, but he wasnt trying NOT to roll into Palmer. I hate the Bungles, but losing a QB is a sad way to lose a season.DNA said:
Say what ? From the local news:JRB said:
DANVILLE, Pa. - Amos Osborn, bitten by a large rattlesnake during the 51st Annual Morris Rattlesnake Roundup on Saturday, was listed in good condition Monday at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville.
Osborn had been listed in serious condition on Sunday, but his condition improved significantly overnight.
He was trying to pin a rattlesnake in the snake pit at about 4 p.m. Saturday when the rattler pulled his head free and bit him on the hand. Three punctures indicate that the snake struck Osborn twice, Morris Fire Chief Dean Kreger said.
Osborn, 67, has handled eastern timber rattlesnakes for 50 of the roundup's 51 years. But the last few have brought bad luck.
Osborn nearly died after a rattler bit him during the 2003 roundup and he had an allergic reaction to antivenin, the drug used to counteract the effects of snake venom.
On Saturday, the snake struck Osborn after it managed to twist its head free of the pinning stick, which resembles a golf club with a narrow, L-shaped piece of steel where the club head would be.
In a related matter, Morris firefighters vowed to continue the annual roundup despite the anticipated implementation of restrictive hunting guidelines next year by the state's Fish and Boat Commission, whose dominion includes reptiles.
Rules expected to take effect next year would impose a $25 hunting-permit fee on rattlesnake hunters, allow the capture of only male snakes and limit hunters to rattlers at least 42 inches long. The current permit fee is $5, and there are no size or sex restrictions.
The Morris Township Volunteer Fire Department sponsors the hunt, which is one of its most-important fundraisers. After a successful weekend, firefighters said they would continue the event despite new regulations.
"There will always be a Morris Rattlesnake Roundup," Kreger said. "We will never quit, even if we have to use rubber snakes."
Hoping for a speedy recovery for Ben. I don't think I can stomach Charlie Batch for a whole season.

13 of 20 for 227 and 1 TD before halftime.
But hey whatever rationalization makes that loss easier to swallow.....
Actually I was talking about Rex's numbers, fella. Good try tho. Remember how a HEALTHY defense DISMANTLED your team? Yeah, expect that again.DRB said:Your memories are sure fuzzy.

This is all the evidence needed that these people are clearly so drunk that they handle snakes needlessly. It's always needless in my opinion, but this is nuts. They should not waste antivenom on them.Mike B. said:
Snake roundups are retarded, but whatever. If there's sound species management involved, let people do what they want.....so long as they have their OWN insurance.
I'll take my chances if 13 - 3, with a receiver torching that awesome secondary of yours for 169, is your definition of dismantled.BurlyShirley said:Actually I was talking about Rex's numbers, fella. Good try tho. Remember how a HEALTHY defense DISMANTLED your team? Yeah, expect that again.
If piling up #'s in junk time and failing to reach the end zone is your definition of "torching", then yeah, dismantled is a good term.DRB said:I'll take my chances if 13 - 3, with a receiver torching that awesome secondary of yours for 169, is your definition of dismantled.

P.S. All the PA people out there...I've driven through PA once or twice and it seemed like the road safety there was taken to a very high level...lots of road signs, waaayyyy too much warning about construction zones (signs every 1/4 mile for it seemed 3+ miles ahead of the zone), etc. Why did the state repeal the helmet law? Seems to be out of sync with the whole safety first campaign.
Hey now that aint fairEcho said:
... I ride myself, never without a helmet, and although I have seen Ben around town on his bike without a helmet, I don't get starstruck, I have met Ben, but I personally know Charlie Batch, and have ridden with him before (he doesn't ride without a helmet either). I met Charlie through a friend who did his rehab when he hurt his knee in Detroit. the intersection that the accident happened at, is a goofy one. the 62 Y.O. lady made the left right infront of Ben as he was trying to go through the intersection he had the right of way. But the intersction is halfway under an underpass and there are some strange shadows that occur! As I have said, I have seen Ben around, and he is a careful rider, just stupid to be riding without a helmet! accidents happen, be prepared!
