Just four months after becoming the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl, Big Ben collided his 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa with a car in Pittsburgh. Roethlisberger was not wearing a helmet, and he was catapulted into the air. "He wasn't moving and I was afraid that he had died," said witness Sandra Ford. Roethlisberger was immediately put through seven hours of surgery. The quarterback suffered a broken jaw, a broken nose, multiple facial fractures, a 9-inch laceration to the back of the head, lost/chipped teeth, and minor knee injuries. Roethlisberger missed the first game of the season, before returning for the next 15. His 75.4 quarterback rating in 2006 was the lowest of his career. In 2003, Pennsylvania repealed a 35-year-old state helmet law that had made helmet use mandatory. Last week a news report revealed an increased number of motorcycle deaths in Pennsylvania since the repeal.

In one of the more gruesome of famous motorcycle accidents, Williams, the second pick of the 2002 draft behind Yao Ming, drove his Yamaha into a light pole on Chicago's North Side. Williams was riding without a helmet, without a license and with a clause in his contract disallowing him to ride a motorcycle. Some of his injuries: Severed main nerve in the leg, fractured pelvis and three torn ligaments (one being the ACL) in his left knee. According to Sports Illustrated, Illinois Masonic Medical Center surgeons considered amputating the 21-year-old's left leg one day after the crash. Bulls general manager John Paxson told SI it would be "miraculous" if he ever suited up again. Paxson chose point guard Kirk Hinrich to replace Williams in the following week's NBA draft. The Bulls eventually waived Williams, but gave the former Duke star $3 million to pay for rehabilitation. Williams attempted comebacks with the Nets in 2006 and the Heat in 2010, but never played an NBA game after his rookie season. Williams has instead turned his career focus toward being a college basketball analyst.

Winslow missed nearly all of his rookie season with a broken fibula -- and that was before his nasty motorcycle accident in May 2005. Despite a clause in his contract forbidding the riding of a motorcycle, Winslow II purchased a Suzuki GSX-R750 sport bike that April. The tight end hit a curb at about 35 mph in a Cleveland suburb and was thrown off the bike. He suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, an injury that caused a six-week staph infection. He was placed on the Physically Unable-to Perform (PUP) list for the 2005 season. The accident is also well-known for the aftermath in which Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow expressed his anger at the media's treatment of his son. "He's not a piece of property," the former tight end said.

At the height of the Barry Bonds-Jeff Kent feud, it was Kent who angered the Giants most. At spring training in 2002, Kent reportedly told the Giants he had broken his wrist while washing his truck. Reports of a motorcycle crash on Hayden Road in Scottsdale soon surfaced with leads pointing to Kent as the reckless driver. The second baseman eventually admitted he was performing wheelies and stunts on his bike. Kent violated the terms of his contract, and he started the season on the disabled list. The Giants did not resign Kent after the season.

Bourdon, the 10th overall pick in the 2005 NHL draft, died instantly when he crashed into a tractor-trailer in his 2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000 in May 2008 after his rookie season with the Canucks. Environment Canada reported winds gusting over 31 mph at the Lamèque, New Brunswick, location at the time of the accident. Penguins defenseman Kris Letang, a friend and junior teammate of Bourdon, revealed Bourdon had bought the bike just two days before the crash. Letang said he was planning on buying a motorcycle before the accident, but decided against it after Bourdon's death.

This beer honors Indians fan John Adams, who is a fixture in the Cleveland bleachers with his drum.

Take note of the "55" on the label. This beer is named in honor of the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers, which won the franchise's first World Series championship.

This brewery, located just 10 minutes away from the Hall of Fame, also offers Old Slugger Pale Ale, Nine Man Golden Ale and Benchwarmer Porter.

Pyramid, which has alehouse locations in Seattle, Portland and three Northern California cities, calls this a "deliciously drinkable golden summer seasonal."

This beer is served at Durham Bulls games.

Rose is the reigning MVP. Donald is the reigning PGA Tour Player of the Year. Rose has kept the Bulls in first place for most of the past two seasons, while Donald has spent most of the past year as the world No. 1. Despite a high quantity of wins, neither has snagged the big prize (Rose an NBA championship, Donald a major title). Both still have a ton of time to get a title, but both also have the talent to claim one now.

The 2011 Masters will perhaps be remembered not for Charl Schwartzel's victory, but for McIlroy's final-round collapse in which he blew a four-shot lead with an 80. McIlory bounced back with a dominant eight-shot win at the U.S. Open two months later. Aaron Rodgers had a similar experience of redemption. After throwing for 422 yards and four touchdowns against the Cardinals in the 2009 Wild Card Playoffs, Rodgers fumbled in overtime to hand the game to Arizona. The quarterback bounced back the following season to win the Super Bowl. Like Rodgers, McIlroy has been one of his sport's best players since his title, but he has yet to claim a grand slam crown since. Both players are looking to get back to championship form in 2012.

For nearly two decades, Westwood has hovered around the top of his sport. He has been the European Tour Player of the Year three times and has 37 professional wins to his name. He is still yet to win a major though. Westwood has 12 top-ten major finishes including six top-three finishes. Murray, a fellow Brit, has spent most of the past few years as one of the world’s top players, but he has been denied a grand slam title despite reaching the semifinals of nine majors.

Mahan has climbed up the world golf standings quietly with consistency. His game is not flashy and he does not show a ton of personality on the course, but he has skill. Off the course, while Durant is one of the most marketable NBA players, Mahan is a YouTube sensation from the 2011 video, "Golf Boys," and he is married to Cowboys cheerleader/Mavericks dancer Kandi Harris. While Durant has taken the Thunder to the top of the West, Mahan has become the United States' top-ranked player. He might be the nation's best hope come Sunday.

For the first 16 years of his career, Stricker was an average player. From the day he turned pro in 1990 to the spring of 2006, he won just three titles. Since the 2006 U.S. Open, Stricker has nine titles and five top-ten major finishes. In Bautista's first six seasons, his high in home runs, RBI and slugging percentage were 16, 63 and .420 respectively. In the past two seasons, he had home run totals of 54 and 43, RBI totals of 124 and 103 and slugging percentages of .617 and .608. Both athletes are late bloomers. Both also now want to prove they can be winners.

Kaymer quickly became a young sensation in 2010, posting top-ten finishes in the U.S. and British Opens before taking home a title at the PGA Championship. By February 2011, Kaymer was the No. 1-ranked player in the world. Since then, he has struggled mightily, winning only one tournament on any tour. Kane and Toews (who really cannot be grouped apart) lifted the Blackhawks to the 2010 Stanley Cup, but Chicago has not returned to top form since that June.

No, Brady has not been the center of an adultery scandal, but he has a lot in common with Tiger. Both players were on pace to break records. Brady had three Super Bowl titles by age 27; Woods had 14 majors by age 32. Brady seemed poised to surpass the record of four Super Bowl victories for a quarterback (Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw) and Woods was cruising toward breaking Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors. Both players have had their success thwarted, and the clock is starting to tick on breaking those records. Brady has had chances, losing two Super Bowls in the past five years. Woods has six top-ten finishes since his last major win, but has not claimed the top spot. For both men, the doubters are starting to become louder and louder.

The young Schwartzel was the darling of last year's Masters, coming out of the blue to birdie the final four holes and win his first PGA Tour title at Augusta. Likewise, Freese became an instant superstar in last year's playoffs, as his October featured a 13-game hitting streak, 21 RBI, a two-run triple to tie Game 6 with the Cardinals down to their final strike, and a walk-off home run in the 11th inning of Game 6 to force a Game 7. For both Schwartzel and Freese, the pressure is on in 2012 to prove 2011's stardom was no fluke.

Like Hamilton, a former No. 1 overall draft choice, Rose was a teenage prodigy. As a 17-year-old amateur in 1998, his fourth-place finish at the British Open had England grinning at its young talent. But 1999-2006 saw tough years for Rose, as he claimed only one top-ten finish at a major and nearly lost his PGA Tour card. In the past few years, Rose has returned to competitive form, and he is poised to prove to his critics he can win the big one.

Simpson has just two titles in his four and a half year career, and he has never finished higher than 14th at a major. But his consistency (58 cuts and 18 top-tens in the last three years) has raised him near the top of the rankings. Johnson has led the Hawks to the playoffs the past four years, but they have not surpassed the second round in any season. Both Simpson and Johnson have proven they can handle the bottom tier, but have not solved the superstars.

For so many years, Mickelson was labeled the best player yet to win a major. Finally, after 17 top-ten major finishes, Mickelson claimed his first grand slam event at Augusta in 2004. Mickelson has had success since that Masters, winning three more major titles, but the critics continue to say he needs to win more to boost his legacy. Manning also spent nearly a decade as his sport’s best player without a title until getting his first ring in the 2006 season. He too is looking to strengthen his legacy, now with the Broncos. Also, Manning's legacy as a winner has been overshadowed by the success of Brady. Mickelson has had to deal with the shadow of Woods.

Both southpaws can hit the ball a mile and both have had decent success. Fielder led the Brewers to the playoffs twice and Watson has two top-ten major finishes. But neither has done enough to get over the hump and win a championship. Does either athlete have the skill to win in the big time or will both only be known for putting on air shows?

Both athletes have been around for a long time and both once appeared destined for championships. In the 2000s, Nash was the arch-nemesis of Western Conference powerhouses the Lakers and the Spurs, while Garcia consistently fought Woods and Mickelson. Unfortunately for Nash and García, neither claimed a championship in their heyday. Garcia has 17 top-ten finishes at majors, including three runner-ups. Both men are among their sport's best players without (major) titles. Both also seem to be moving farther away from the winner's podium than closer to it.

Fowler, the youthful sensation, has swag and does not care what other people think of him. He's exciting and fun with the media, and he has a whole lot of talent. While Ovechkin has struggled in the playoffs, Fowler has struggled in majors, making only one top ten in eight tries.

After winning a green jacket in 2007, it seems like Johnson dropped off the face of the earth. He has missed six cuts at majors and made only two grand slam top tens since his victory. He has not had a professional victory since May 2010. Similarly, since the Hurricanes' Stanley Cup title in 2006, they have only made the playoffs once and have not cracked 100 points.

Both Furyk and Lewis have been among the top men in their craft for as long as anyone can remember. Furyk was ranked in the top ten for more than 350 weeks between 1999 and 2010. Lewis has made 13 Pro Bowls since 1997. Each got one championship in the early 2000s (Super Bowl XXXV for Lewis and the 2003 U.S. Open for Furyk), and both have been close to titles since. Both have also reached an age where the final days of their competitive careers may be nearing an end.

At the turn of the century, Singh was a one-man powerhouse who kept Woods off balance. From the 1998 PGA Championship to the 2006 U.S. Open, Singh won three majors and claimed 14 17 top-ten major finishes in that span. Since then, he has virtually disappeared, claiming only one professional victory and no top-ten major finishes. Singh did not make a grand slam cut in 2011. In Coral Gables, the U has gone from one of the country's most feared programs to a middle-of-the-road ACC team in the past decade.

Player became the first international player to win a green jacket in 1961 in a memorable duel with Arnold Palmer. After rain postponed the final round to Monday afternoon, Player reached the 72nd hole one stroke behind Palmer. After both players hit their approach shots, Palmer famously took a congratulatory handshake from the gallery thinking his ball was on the green. When the two players reached the green, they found both their balls in a greenside bunker. Player got up-and-down for par, while Palmer took a double-bogey. Player went on to win two more Masters titles, including a 1978 victory in which he posted a final round 64 to overcome a seven-stroke Sunday morning deficit.

Of Ballesteros's five major titles, only two came on American soil -- both at Augusta. In 1980, at age 23, the Spaniard became the tournament's youngest champion while having at least a share of the lead in every round. Ballesteros opened with a 66 on Thursday and never looked back. His only round in the 70s came on Sunday, when he conservatively shot a 72 for a four-shot victory. Ballesteros also won in 1983 by four strokes.

At the 1985 Masters, Curtis Strange made an improbable comeback from a first-round score of 80 to take a three-stroke lead with six holes to play. Bogeys for Strange on the 13th, 15th and 18th holes allowed Langer, who birdied four of the final seven holes, to claim a two-stroke victory over Strange, Ballesteros and Raymond Floyd. Eight years later, Langer won his second green jacket with a four-shot win over Chip Beck. The two Masters victories are the only major titles of Langer's career.

Lyle was the 1988 tournament's third-round leader, but a double-bogey on the 12th hole on Sunday dropped him out of the lead. Despite failing to birdie the par-5 13th and 15th holes, a birdie on the par-3 16th hole kept Lyle breathing. Tied with Mark Calcavecchia on the 18th tee box, Lyle launched his tee shot into a fairway bunker. The Scot then hit one of the tournament’s most famous shots: a 7-iron that bounced past the flagstick before sliding back down the slope to within six feet of the hole. Lyle knocked the putt in and danced around the green to celebrate his only win at Augusta. It is common today to hear a British golf commentator refer to a shot coming back toward the flagstick on the 18th hole as having "shades of Sandy Lyle" in it.

Despite being the second-round leader in 1989 at -3, Sir Nick looked like dead meat after a third round 77. But Faldo was not ready to turn into fish and chips quite yet. The Englishman opened his final round (just hours after his third round ended Sunday morning due to poor Saturday weather conditions) by birdieing four of the first seven holes en route to a front nine 31. Faldo followed with a 34 on the back nine to come into the clubhouse with a lead at -5. Scott Hoch had a chance to win with a 25-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole, but he narrowly missed, setting up a playoff with Faldo. On the first sudden death playoff hole, the 10th hole, Hoch had a two-foot tap-in for the win. He lipped the putt and the two players went to the 11th hole. There, Faldo drained a 25-footer to win his first of three Masters. His 1990 victory came in a playoff victory over Raymond Floyd, while his 1996 six-shot comeback is remembered for the collapse of Greg Norman.

Woosnam capped off four years of United Kingdom dominance with a 72nd hole victory in 1991. Woosnam, Jose Maraa Olazábal and Tom Watson all came into the 18th hole on Sunday at -11. Olazabal, playing in the second-to-last group, made his first bogey of the day. Watson followed with a double bogey, while Woosnam knocked in a five-foot par putt for the win. The title is the only major championship win of his career.

Three years after his 1991 hiccup, Olazabal redeemed himself at Augusta. Five birdies on Friday put the Spaniard in the driver’s seat, but Tom Lehman hung in Olazabal's rear-view window all weekend. It was not until he holed a 30-foot eagle putt on the 15th hole that Olazabal pulled away and took the title by two shots. Olazabal's victory made Spain the first nation outside of the United States to be represented by two Masters champions. In 1999, he handled the likes of Davis Love III and Greg Norman to win his second title.

In the only major Tiger Woods did not win between the 1999 PGA Championship and the 2001 Masters, Singh controlled the field. Singh hit 58 of 72 greens to finish with no rounds over par and a total of -10. He fended off a late charge by Ernie Els and upstart American David Duval. Singh is the only green jacket winner from Asia/Australia.

With third-round leader Jeff Maggert shooting a 75 to drop from -5 to -2, the tournament opened up to a large pack of suitors. Weir, who started the day at -3, shot a four-under 68, but a seven-under 65 knotted Len Mattiace with Weir at day's end. Mattiace finished so many groups before Weir, he had to wait about an hour before starting the playoff. On the first playoff hole, Weir stumbled to a bogey, but a double bogey from Mattiace gave Weir the victory. Weir became the first Canadian and first lefty to win the tournament.

Immelman entered Sunday with a two-stroke lead at -11. The three players just behind him, Brandt Snedeker, Steve Flesch and Paul Casey all shot rounds of 77 or higher and dropped out of contention. The one player Immelman had to worry about was the player who started in fifth place at -5: Woods. Woods stayed steady all day, posting an even-par 72. Immelman struggled, but was able to maintain a 75, good for a three-shot victory. He became the first player to lead the Masters after all four rounds since Raymond Floyd in 1976.

While Phil Mickelson tied a course record 30 on the front nine and Kenny Perry led for most of the day, Cabrera quietly kept his spot near the top of the leaderboard. Bogeys by Perry on 17 and 18 set up a three-way playoff with Cabrera, Perry, and Chad Campbell. After Campbell was eliminated on the first hole, Cabrera edged Perry on the second playoff hole to win. Cabrera became the first South American to win a green jacket. It was his second major title.

In an epic final round in which eight players from six different continents led on Sunday, Schwartzel stood the tallest. The day is perhaps most remembered for Rory McIlroy's collapse in which his four-shot lead at the start of the day evaporated thanks to an 80. Woods shot a 31 on the front nine to come all the way back from -5 into contention, but his momentum died down on the back nine. Aussies Jason Day and Adam Scott made a run at their nation's first title, but Schwartzel, who birdied the final four holes for a 66, held them off by two shots. South Africa became the first nation other than the United States to have three champions.
