Already a thread on this..........

Go Ben Go! hes at the 10, the 20 the 30 year line

[GoRavensNTerps]

Wow, if this is true, this guy needs to do some jail time. And if this one is true, that means that the last one is most likely true.

[FerrariFan87]

I'm shocked as are the Steelers I am sure... I mean, their owner is the U.S. Ambassador to Ireland after all. This doesn't look good.

I hope the league makes an example out of him and doesn't overlook these accusations.

[GoRavensNTerps]

Delhome will be the next steelers qb. Ben will be either suspended or in jail.

I'd say my surprise level is moderate. It's not like it's the first time a celebrity was accused of something and Ben isn't exactly a choirboy.

This just doesn't make any sense to me. Doesn't this guy pretty much own Pittsburgh? I would think he'd have women throwing themselves at him all the time. Guess we'll just have to wait and see if this really happened or not.

I thought the long haired falsetto owns Pittsburgh...

Regardless, you'd think Ben would be a little more discriminating about his company (assuming he's innocent) after what happened last year.

Agreed. These athletes have got to understand there are so many gold diggers out there looking for an easy buck. That's why I think we should wait and see how this plays out before we bash him.

[Guest I-70WestRaven]

I guess this could really mess up Pittsburghs draft board. Kind of sad really but, then he should be smarter than that. Guilty or not, the court of public opion is already deliberating. Ben, the next time you ride your cycle, try wearing a helmet, could'nt hurt. [img]http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/public/style_emoticons/default/eyes.gif[/img]

Big Ben is at it again. Starting to show up on google - <[url="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4DKUS_enUS285US285&q=nfl+roethlisberger"]link[/url]>

Ben's reps released a statement:

"Last night, Ben and his friends [including Willie Colon: http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/ben-roethlisberger-accused-of-sexual-assault-27984] met a group of women and everyone mingled together throughout the evening," agent Ryan Tollner says. "We have spoken to law enforcement. Based on information currently available, an allegation was made against Ben, which appeared to be dismissed after a preliminary investigation last night. Obviously, given the prior accusation against Ben, we are skeptical of motive, but we will continue to cooperate with everyone involved."

Wait that's not funny...man what are we doing with our lives.

[PSU RAVEN]

Well at least next season we will have some really good responses to the comments by steeler fans about the Ravens signing Stallworth.

[RavensClaw52]

Welp...money cant fix everything. Ok so now he has 2 allegations on his hands...even if he truly didnt do it he would stop putting himself in these predicaments.

That sounds familiar...

"You can have false accusations once, maybe twice. When you start getting to multiple (arrests), you're putting yourself in the wrong position, you're making the wrong decisions in the wrong places. At that point in time, you're reflecting poorly on the NFL itself, your teammates." - Roger Goodell

Obviously he needs to carry a clipboard around and have women sign it like that Dave Chappelle skit. I'm hoping her allegations are real not because I don't like Roethlisberger but I am sick of him getting his name run through the mud by false claims. Innocent until proven guilty.

[LilyRaven]

Didn't TMZ "break" the last story (and every other piece of trash tabloid nonsense involving athletes)? I wouldn't be terribly surprized if they were somehow invloved.

"C'mon, honey, I'll make you famous."

[font="Times New Roman"][size="4"][color="#9932CC"]You have no idea how disappointing this is. Let's let the law figure this thing out. If he is guilty then so be it. That's what prisons are for. Life goes on and so will the Steelers with or without Ben. If he is innocent, he needs to wise up and reconsider who he spends his time with. Really, really stupid![/color] [/size] [/font]
