July 21, 200917 yr For the record, I only think Kobe was guilty of bad judgement And adultery, which hurt him in the public eye, as well.
July 21, 200917 yr The manor of which this came about isn't all that fishy to me. But it is just fishy as a whole. Big Ben makes 15 Mil a year and can go walk into a club and have his pick of the cream of the crop. He doesn't need to do this. She just wants money just like in the Kobe case. Problems with this case: -No police report filed. Sorry, no matter what, if she was raped at SOME point she should have called the police. -One year. That's a LONG time. -Straight to civil court. Smells like a money grab, and she probably figures he'll HAVE to settle so she gets some cash no matter what (on a side note, if Ben is innocent, he should fight this even if it costs him 10X as much as settlement). -Reno, NV- Prostitution is legal. Ben is uber-wealthy. If he wanted some nookie, he'd have just hired a prostitute. (Note: I don't believe Kobe raped that girl. I don't care for him at all, and I think he's a dirtbag for cheating on his wife, but he raped no one)
July 21, 200917 yr I didn't mean to turn this into a lesser of 2 evils thread about Kobe and Big Ben so I won't comment on that any longer. Never thought about the prostitution part of it. He could have easily paid for some.
July 21, 200917 yr ESPN is catching major flack for issuing a "Do not report" on the Big Ben Story. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/07/21/source-espn-issues-do-not-report-alert-on-roethlisberger-story/

The closest analogy that comes to me is if someone tried to compare how good the Benglas have been historically as a franchise as the Steelers. I mean they play the same sport, but that doesn't make them the same.
July 21, 200917 yr [ATTACH]27988[/ATTACH] I give you Andrea McNulty... :puke: Are you kidding me, She looks like one that needs to be paying not getting paid. :puke:
July 21, 200917 yr Why wait a year? Because the event was horrifying & you don't want to relive the events. There are plenty of reasons why you would wait a year; however, there is absolutely no reason why you would not file a police report.
July 21, 200917 yr Whoever is on 1530 Homer (Lance?) is indicating that the sports news networks are being told to keep a lid on this story.

Forgive me, but I'm not buying the horrifying experience plea for the reason to wait a year. She would have AT LEAST filed a police report, and at that time, you would assume legal proceedings would have began.
July 21, 200917 yr No mention of this on ESPN earlier today, which is pathetic. I also find it humorous how the opinions would be so much different if this were a Bengals player. Heck, the Steeler fans on here would be lining up to throw in their bad jokes, yet when it's Big Ben "it's fishy".

IF Roethlisberger is charged with something, this Steeler fan will be just as critical as if it were a player on ANY other team...
