I bet that last shot by Rogers really dinged him good. Credit him for hanging in and playing the entire game...I got a chuckle out of him not answering those questions. It's obvious if his shoulder was fine, he wouldn't have had a problem saying that.

They were bullshit questions. Ben won't know how well his shoulder held up until tomorrow morning.

BTW: I never saw Ben getting treatment after any of the hits that he took.

There is no doubt that Ben motivates himself by being the "Wounded Warrior". I don't think he was injured that badly, but I don't think the questions were out of line. I think he could simply say, "shoulder's fine".

He could have. But then if he showed up on the injury report later this week, people would accuse him of covering up. Perhaps the best answer he could have given would have been something like "Hey, you never know how the body is going to be after 60 minutes of football. I feel good now."

And fuck them. If the media (or anyone else for that matter) ever expects a straight answer from a player about an injury, they can fuck off.

The team is required to report on a player's practice and injury status. Like. One. Word. And. Stuff.

Limited.
Probable.
That's it.

You want details? Go fuck yourself, Andrea Kremer. Rack Ben's weather forecast. I wished I had tuned in for it.

yep, Ben's a tough SOB.
