Lol that thing was real bent up, not sure how you can say it's not broken with a straight face. Pun intended.
Ben just confirmed in his post game interview that his nose is broken. Not only by the way he was speaking...lol...he actually said it was broken.
Of course now, after the game, one can now take something from the earlygoing that I enjoyed thoroughly and make it a positive. No doubt right now they're calling it something like "the epitome of Roethlisberger's amazing football spirit."
Oh, he got it ON the field. Didn't watch the game but my brother told me Ben got his nose broken... I just assumed he got confused, walked into the wrong bathroom, and Ray Lewis slugged him.
