We’ve heard the rumors for years, and then two recent incidents brought everything to light: Ben Roethlisberger is a creepy, creepy dude. But one doctor says it’s not Big Ben’s fault.
A neuropsychologist who has never studied Roethlisberger thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback may have frontal lobe damage, just like a Vietnam veteran. This makes him more likely to “succumb to more primal urges” instead of realizing he could mess up his career.
Of course! These aren’t the actions of a young, pudgy star quarterback who goes out to bars to pick up women that may or may not want any part of him, these are the actions of a man whose brain is so messed up he doesn’t know the meaning of “My head’s hitting the hand dryer.”
Ben, just lose some weight, stop looking like a homeless person and find a nice supermodel. Hell, Trent Dilfer gets girls more easily than you do.
Because a guy who is possibly injured playing a game for a living is an even comparison to a Vietnam veteran’s injury.
Nice sense of scale, Doctor hired by a fleet of team lawyers.
