Arrington tastes pavement

Free-agent linebacker LaVar Arrington was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in the Washington, D.C., area. Arrington suffered a broken bone in his arm, three broken bones in his leg, cuts and bruises. The injuries do not appear to be life-threatening. Arrington, a former Pro Bowl linebacker for the Washington Redskins, is not currently under contract to any team. The 28-year-old was still rehabbing an Achilles tendon tear that cut short his 2006 season with the New York Giants.

Well Kellen Winslow and Ben Roethlisberger now have company in the "almost killed myself on a motor bike" club. At least Arrington was wearing his helmet. That's some great intellect worth protecting there.
