The Facts:
Steelers officials warned Roethlisberger in writing last year that he might jeopardize portions of his contract, and could suffer financial implications, if he continued to ride a motorcycle -- and if he was injured doing so.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to ESPN insider Len Pasquarelli, it's believed the letter was intended to serve dual purposes: To apprise Roethlisberger in writing of the team's stance on what it considered a perilous activity, and to place the club on more solid legal footing were the Steelers forced to try to recover prorated signing bonus money or even base salaries if the quarterback failed to fulfill his contract because of a motorcycle-related injury. ... The monetary issues will likely be moot if Roethlisberger does not miss significant time with the facial injuries he suffered in Monday's accident.
