    Nothing like a sexual assault lawsuit right before camp.

    Big Ben is such a D-Bag, I can't stand the guy.... but with that said, he has never portrayed himself to be anything but a nice guy. It will be interesting to see what happens with this.... one thing is for sure, no matter if he is guilty or not... these crazy Pitt fans will still worship the ground he walks on.

    This crazy Pitt fan doesn't worship the ground he walks on. In fact, I've heard he's quite arrogant out of the limelight. However, I'm certainly not going to throw him under the bus until the dust clears on this one. There's always that crazy fan/person willing to claim a famous person did something to them whether it's the attention or money, or both. Then again, Ben certainly could be guilty. All I know is there's more important news out there to be making headlines.

    Whether he raped her or not...it's gonna be hard to prove since it was a year ago and no complaints were made at the time. :huh:

    She's just wanting a free ride.

    Herein lies the problem...

    I'm not a lawyer or judge but I believe it would be hard for them to prove him guilty...after all...she went to his hotel room and I'm guessing she went there for a reason...:confused:


    A woman has filed a lawsuit accusing Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of raping her last summer in his penthouse hotel room at a casino in Lake Tahoe during a celebrity golf tournament.

    Yes I am a Steeler Fan & yes I do like Ben, but I am FAR from blindly backing my team/people no matter what.

    That said, there isn’t a brain cell in my head (of the few that are left) that believes any of this story. She’s a wacko and her case has zero merit.

    Also she is only taking him to Civil court (aka wants money). "IF" it was true wouldn't you want him prosecuted criminally too?

    :evil:

    I really don't think he did it, Ben's always been a super nice guy. I had a substitute teacher who dated him at Miami, she was my favorite :d
