Awake but disoriented was all I heard. Hospital not releasing info other than confirming it is him.
May not have been wearing a helmet

| Today also helps illustrate where exactly soccer stands in America. An above-average QB in the NFL tries to kill himself, and that is the breaking news with hours of in depth analysis while the US loss in the 'World Cup' is just a sidebar.

Kids will play it, but nobody will watch it. The ADD generation is not going to sit and watch a sport that makes baseball look like Roller Derby in terms of action. | |

Probably will not play this coming up season if ever again. Hope that is innaccurate. | |

The 24-year-old Roethlisberger has said in the past that he prefers not to wear a helmet when riding his motorcycle. He has pointed out Pennsylvania's 35-year-old state law requiring helmets to be worn was amended to make helmets optional.
| Lucky him huh? | |

| The story on CNNSI has a photo of a small pool of blood on the pavement with a chalk line drawn around it.
Do we really need to see that?
