Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had an emergency appendectomy after becoming ill before practice Sunday and will miss Thursday night's season opener against Miami.

Charlie Batch is horrible. I'm picking Miami to pull the upset.

Might miss more than one game. An appendectomy requires stitches in a very sensitive area for an athlete.

Won't be an upset with Batch at QB. I wish he could throw a pass...

As a Steelers' fan this just sucks.

:mad: There goes fantasy week one... here is hoping unproven Rivers pulls through with some stats to complement Hasselback!
