The Facts:
On Thursday afternoon, Roethlisberger issued a statement in which he apologized to his family, the Steelers organization, teammates and fans. In addition to admitting he is fortunate to be alive, the QB said: "I recognize that I have a responsibility to safeguard my health in the offseason so I can continue to lead our team effectively. I never meant any harm to others nor to break any laws. I was confident in my ability to ride a motorcycle and simply believed such an accident would not happen to me. If I ever ride again, it certainly will be with a helmet."
