Bradshaw To Ben: Park It!

Terry Bradshaw quarterbacked the Steelers to four Super Bowl victories.

He has some advice for the guy who hopes to win Number 5.

"Park the motorcycle!"

Defying coach Bill Cowher's wishes and ignoring the potential dangers, quarterback -- and helmetless motorcycle rider -- Ben Roethlisberger said last week that he isn't giving up his beloved bike.

Bradshaw, at a charity golf tournament Monday, told Channel 4 Action Sports that Big Ben needs to change his mind -- especially in light of a recent bike-related injury that may cost Cleveland tight end Kellen Winslow his 2005 season.

"Ben, you're starting to make me think you're not that smart," said Bradshaw, looking directly into a camera and pointing his index finger. "Did you not see what that idiot in Cleveland did? You're cool enough without it (the bike). Wait until you're 33, 34. Ride the sucker all you want then."

As the interview ended, Bradshaw walked off, muttering, "I can't believe he's riding that motorcycle. Stupidest thing I ever heard of."

Bradshaw speaks from experience. As a young quarterback, he was told by team owner Dan Rooney to keep his Corvette off the road and in the garage -- and he says he obeyed.

If Roethlisberger's willing to listen to reason, Bradshaw thinks he'll do the same.

"They (Roethlisberger and Cowher) have one thing in common, and that's winning," he said. "As long as you have the same objective, the same passion, you'll work those other things out. Chuck (Noll, the Steelers' former coach) and I did."
