Talk about a guy that has absolutely no concept of the risk and reward factor.He's losing more endorsements than Tiger Woods chasing after skanks when he's drunk where he could have gotten any woman he wanted to begin with.He's a moron by exposing himself ''no pun intended''to all the bad elements by hanging out in joints.Nothing good can become of a rich star athlete hanging out in places like that.Even when you are innocent you are guilty of being stupid.Good for him,he deserves getting railroaded where he's put in stir where he can't polute the gene pool.
I was reading somewhere I cant find it now that the girl has financial trouble with her school its was a story told by her friend If I can think where I seen it will copy and paste it I was half asleep and closed out the page
Ben has some serious issues and I think he needs to get them taken care of before he comes back to football. I also think the Steelers may be ready to go on with life without him.

perfect time to get rid of Big Ben, he won two superbowls and history says he never wins another one, Pitt cannot have this image either as it will hur them on the marketing end. Steeler football is way bigger than Big Ben. If any charges are filed he is done in Pitt.
First of all, I believe it is extremely rare for a woman to falsely accuse a man of rape. That's what people thought with Kobe. The problem is that so many women hanging around these athletes will immediately jump to sex. So the athletes may forget that not every perfect stranger is like that.
It's very difficult to prove and women really do NOT want that kind of publicity, least of all nationwide. So for this to happen twice to the same person?! I don't think that Roethlisberger is a 'conscious' rapist, who sets out to harm women, but I do suspect that he is extremely clumsy and has no idea how to read women.

Pittsburgh is also a very conservative organization and very image conscious. Even if Ben is found innocent of everything, at the very least he is guilty of bad judgement to even put himself in this situation. I don't think any team wants a QB that continues to put themselves in horrible situations.
This time, they have got this worthless douche bag. Physical evidence, witnesses, and admission that Big Ben was shit faced, as he usually is, and other circumstances that are very believeable. Big Ben is by far the dumbest QB to ever win a Superbowl. Charges will be filed as soon as the loose ends are tied up. Their is a ton of probably cause here.
I've only had a problem with 2 people on this entire forum. You and burt. I can't help it that both of you are idiots.
Eric, don't get me started on you again, you went down without much of a fight last time.

He could be in trouble this time, even if not guilty Pitt is going to get rid of him

HEY MORON what Physical evidence there no witnesses saying he did anything he might be the dumbest qb in the NFL but your the dumbest person on this site learn to read before talking they still didnt even talk to anyone yet only the girl so where the physical evidence that you say and probably cause dont make a case
An article on the interwebs said that he appears to get away with a sexual assault charge with each Super Bowl win, so that if he wants a clear name for the next one, he's going to have to win another Super Bowl. One Super Bowl victory per sex assault accusation.
Big Ben's situation a cause for concern
NFL conduct policy might come into play
Monday, March 22, 2010
By Ed Bouchette, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Backups Charlie Batch and Dennis Dixon have the quarterback position "set" in face of the situation surrounding Ben Roethlisberger.
ORLANDO, Fla. -- As the NFL converged on the Ritz-Carlton Hotel for the annual league meetings, high on the buzz list among club officials and coaches is one Ben Roethlisberger.
Roethlisberger, accused in two different states of sexual assault in the past nine months, awaits word on whether he will be charged in Georgia after the latest accusation by a 20-year-old college student. Even if he is not indicted, a league source said Sunday, the Steelers quarterback could be compelled to undergo a formal clinical evaluation.
And if he is charged in the March 5 incident, the Steelers and/or the NFL can dole out immediate discipline of Roethlisberger even if there is no conviction, the source confirmed.
The Steelers, as team president Art Rooney has said, are concerned. Coach Mike Tomlin took it one step further upon his arrival here.
"I'm highly concerned for our franchise and for Ben personally," Tomlin told the NFL Network Saturday. Tomlin, scheduled to meet with two Pittsburgh reporters Sunday, instead became unavailable. It is unknown why he is concerned for the Steelers franchise.
Kevin Colbert, the Steelers' director of football operations, declared before the March 5 assault accusation that quarterback and tight end were two positions the Steelers would not consider drafting with high picks. He did not back away from that Sunday.
Colbert noted of Rooney's previous statements about the Roethlisberger situation:
"He made the statement for the organization and until anything changes we're going to live by that statement and our draft planning won't change."
The Steelers have only Roethlisberger and Dennis Dixon under contract at quarterback, although they are expected to re-sign unrestricted free agent Charlie Batch. Still, Colbert stuck by his previous assertion he would not draft a quarterback high.
"We can add depth anywhere," Colbert said, "except save the quarterback because we have a young backup there and hopefully we're going to get Charlie Batch back in the mix soon there. That position appears to be set."
Colbert would not comment on rumors the Steelers are considering trading with Tampa Bay for quarterback Byron Leftwich, who spent the 2008 season as Roethlisberger's backup after Charlie Batch's season-ending injury in training camp.
A reading of the NFL personal conduct policy shows further why the Steelers may be so concerned about their quarterback's situation.
According to the policy:
It is not enough simply to avoid being found guilty of a crime. Instead, as an employee of the NFL or a member club, you are held to a higher standard and expected to conduct yourself in a way that is responsible, promotes the values upon which the League is based, and is lawful.
Persons who fail to live up to this standard of conduct are guilty of conduct detrimental and subject to discipline, even where the conduct itself does not result in conviction of a crime. Discipline may be imposed in any of the following circumstances: Criminal offenses including, but not limited to, those involving: the use or threat of violence; domestic violence and other forms of partner abuse; theft and other property crimes; sex offenses ...
In addition, the policy states:
Apart from any disciplinary action, persons arrested, charged or otherwise appearing to have engaged in conduct prohibited under this policy will be required to undergo a formal clinical evaluation. Based on the results of that evaluation, the person may be encouraged or required to participate in an education program, counseling or other treatment deemed appropriate by health professionals.
NOTES -- The NFL will issue compensatory draft picks Tuesday. Colbert said he has no idea what the Steelers might get but there is speculation the Steelers will receive two fifth-rounders for losing Bryant McFadden and Nate Washington as free agents last year. ... In the final year of his contract, Colbert responded to persistent reports that he would rejoin Bill Cowher if he coaches for another team: "My reaction is I'm perfectly happy working with the Pittsburgh Steelers and the future will take care of itself." ... Colbert said wide receiver Limas Sweed, placed on injured reserve late last season for a non-physical illness, has been participating in offseason workouts with his teammates. "He's still in the mix." ... Colbert said the team is not interested "at this point" in bringing back guard Darnell Stapleton, a starter in 2008 who spent last season on injured reserve after knee surgery.

Read the evidence moron. His ass is just waiting to be arrested. Georgia wants an air tight case against him. Everyone saw his drunk ass talking to this girl. Big Ben's excuse is that it was consenual. That means that he admits that it happened. An absolute amateur like yourself would have no idea how they can prove this case. It takes time to obtain all the evidence. Stick to a subject you know. I have forgotten more about the law than you will ever know. Ofcourse, you coming from New Jersey tell me exactly what you know about anything. You are not a kingpin. You have the intelligence of a bowling pin.

I think he is in serious trouble with the NFL/Rooney's this time whether he did it or not
steelers will dump his ass...no need for this bullshit.
What sucks is he is not replaceable so the Steelers will descend back to Defense and the Running game which is only good enough to have a winning season but not a Superbowl contender If Ben is released
