Big Ben Has Appendectomy

[swerb]

Will miss 2-4 weeks. Having gone through that 4-5 years ago, I can't possibly see him playing till week 3 at the earliest.

However, knowing the Steelers luck ... they may wheel him out Thurs night against the Fish for him to throf for 300 and 3 scores.

I heard that losing that much of his large intestine will cost big ben about 50% of his intelligence.

What does an apendectomy have to do with a large intestine?
