How does a star NFL quarterback with a bad ankle kill the pain? A bit recklessly

Just before the holiday break I made a note of this item that I wanted to share with you.

After getting soundly thumped by the 49ers on Monday Night Football, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger — hobbling on a sprained ankle — told reporters that he didn’t take any pain-killing injections prior to the game.

Roethlisberger: “They would never put me out there and endanger me or anybody on this team. There was no injection. There was two Tylenols and two Advil.”

Yikes! Little does Ben know how much he may have endangered himself with that OTC painkiller cocktail. And if he kept up a 2+2 Tylenol/Advil regimen in the days following the loss to San Francisco, he put his liver through a terrible ordeal.

He’d be better off getting sacked by Ray Lewis!
