It fits you to a tee.Although not a 100% sure, I think that's Jim Carrey as Clifton, you really should use the original.
Nah, this one's Andy.
From a Taxi episode I think. Or movie, maybe.

Roethlisberger finds helmet too small
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger is dealing with a swollen head, an issue that has troubled many NFL quarterbacks. Only this time, it's not the result of too many commercial endorsements, a big contract or too much fan praise.
When the Steelers quarterback resumed practicing this week, he realized his helmet didn't fit right. He sustained a concussion Dec. 28 against Cleveland, and spent last week getting over headaches associated with the hit.
"I had a little headache after putting the helmet on because it was so tight," Roethlisberger said Wednesday. "But we'll deal with it and move on."
After receiving a concussion during the 2006 season, Roethlisberger declined to switch to a newer style of helmet designed to better protect against concussions. He apparently has not switched helmets this time, either, preferring to stay with the model he has traditionally worn.
Roethlisberger has had three concussions in three years, one in the June 2006 motorcycle accident in which he was seriously injured while not wearing a helmet. He has not been spotted riding a motorcycle in public since.
Roethlisberger sat out the second half of the Cleveland game, but will return Sunday for the Steelers' AFC divisional game against San Diego.

they should do an mri there is probably some swelling and should not be playing it can be life and death.

Perhaps his head would recover quicker if he pulled it out his rear.

Does this thread have even have a point?? The Steelers as a football team are as healthy as they have been all year long especially compared to the Chargers. And for the Chargers to come in here banged up and not 100 percent into bad weather and playing on the East Coast where they have been an horrific road team for most of this season does not boad well for them...

"playing on the East Coast " - When the hell did Shitsburgh move to the East Coast? Try "Appalachia". Study Geography dumb ass.

Come on Chubs, pick it up.
This dumbing down of our board is not cool and not everyone is doing it.
Chuckie loves him some Browns, just can't get enough of us.

I guess it's just me, I mean I know these guys get paid millions of dollars, but going out there even though your head is swelling to the point your helmet doesn't fit just smacks of taking an awfully big risk with your health.Some responsibility (actually a lot of it) has to fall on the Steelers coaching staff, Ben will always want to play, say what you want about the guy, but you can't deny he's tough and as long as he can walk he'll play, but that doesn't necessarily mean he should be out there.
I dunno guys, I just have a bad feeling, with that porous O-line we could witness a real tragedy on Sunday. All joking and ball busting aside with this rivalry, it's a dudes life for christs sake.
First, there is no rivalry.
Second, you're a bigger drama queen than Ben - and that says a lot.
Enjoy the game tomorrow.

QUinn's Pinky ring still doesn't fit.
By the way, Ben is directing his team to another AFC championship appearance today. I don't think they give a 5 point touchdown because Ben had to switch helpmets, did they?
But hey, I guess Quinn can actually put his helmet on comfortably today as he watches the Steelers actually PLAYING football.

The helmet may not fit, bit his hands aren't too swollen. That 2nd ring in 4 years will fit nicely!
How many SB rings do the Browns have again???

I heard that all of the Super Bowl XL rings have an *asterisk* etched into them due to them being acheived by overt cheating.
BTW, the Browns have 8 rings. How many do the Squeelers have again?

Yea as you can see today that play where the Browns took Ben out had a lot to do with how he played today much like all you idiots on here claimed it would. What happened to those 4 picks and all those sacks and turnovers that Ben was suppose to have in today's game as a result of the concussion the Browns gave Ben?? Oh thats right none of it happened because much like your football team fails to win time and time again, they failed to do the job on Ben and finish him off like everybody on here said he was after that play occured.
