I don't even need to click the link to know he's guilty. Let's hope a lifetime ban is forthcoming from Mr. Goodell.

Re: Roethelisberger accused of Sexual Assault

It's important to remember this is a civil suit alleging what amounts to a criminal charge of rape in most jurisdictions. The fact that no criminal matter has been filed against Roethlisberger seems odd, if what this woman is saying is true.

Looks and sounds fishy to me.

Seems shady but just another name on the steelers long list of trouble makers.

Re: Roethelisberger accused of Sexual Assault

I obviously can't speak to the merits of this specific case, but I can't say that I'm too surprised. The people that I know who are acquaintances of Roethelisberger's do not paint him in the best light.

Re: Roethelisberger accused of Sexual Assault

Based on some of the stories I've heard at school, this doesn't surprise me at all...

Re: Roethelisberger accused of Sexual Assault

The Steelers need to release him, today. There is no room for conduct like that within this division, er um, correct that, team.

I heard stories about Ben Roethlisberger from friends at Miami who were there at the same time he was -- probably the same types of stories you heard. They weren't all that different than stories I heard about J.P. Losman when I was at Tulane or stories people told me about high-profile athletes where they went to school. I'm not shocked or surprised by any of them -- they're mostly par for the course when it comes to superstars in their early-20s.

I don't know Ben Roethlisberger, I don't know this girl. What I do know is that there have been no criminal charges filed against him, and none appear forthcoming. Given that, from my point of view, this looks and smells a lot like a money grab.

We don't have nearly enough facts to make a 100% conclusion, though.

Yep, Losman is an equally sketchy individual. But not all guys are like that. I went to school with Tom Brady, and I wouldn't say he's anything of the sort.

That's true -- Mewelde Moore was far and away the best player on those Tulane teams, and he was one of the nicest and most genuine people I met when I was in school (one of my best friends was his RA and lived in his "quad" soph. year).

What I meant was that there's a certain personality type at work with some "high-profile" athletes in college, and such behavior and stories come with the territory.
