What do Big Ben and I Have in Common?


Both spent a night at Presbyterian Hospital aka "Presby" in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Ben Roethlisberger spent time in Presby when he suffered a spinal cord concussion during Week 17 in a meaningless game against the Browns.  Just 2 Decembers earlier, I spent a night, rather a morning, in Presby for a similar incident.  Let's call it an...alcohol concussion.  Surprisingly, the symptoms between myself and Big Ben are eerily similar.  After the shot, Big Ben couldn't feel his arms.  After the shots, I couldn't feel any of my limbs.  Big Ben's injury caused serious concern among the city of Pittsburgh.  My injury caused serious concern among...residents of the city of Pittsburgh.  The one distinguishing fact that separates Big Ben from myself?  Big Ben was carried to the ambulance on a stretcher, while I walked onto it under my own power.  Yup, Big Ben doesn't have shit on me.
