Seriously, just stop riding these things, you guys suck at it. If it wasn't apparent enough that these meat heads shouldn't be riding a crotch rocket after Ben Roethlisberger's accident, Lavar Arrington suffered a broken bone in his arm, three broken bones in his leg, and cuts and bruises today. Arrington was already rehabilitating an achilles tendon tear that cut short his 2006 season with the New York Giants. The injuries don't appear to be life threatening but this certainly isn't going to help him land a contract with anyone after being released by the Giants. I already mentioned Big Ben but there are other idiots who got into accidents on their motorcycles. Now Arrington can join the ranks of athletes who suck at riding motorcycles that includes Jay Williams (former Bulls point guard) and Kellen Winslow Jr. What is really ironic about this whole thing is the fact that all these accidents involved 1st round picks. Big Ben was picked 11th overall, Williams was picked 2nd overall, Arrington was picked 2nd overall, and Winslow was picked 6th overall. Quite an impressive list of players who have either ruined their careers (Williams and most likely Arrington) or came close to doing it (Roethlisberger and Winslow).
