"What is your opinion of the Ben Roethlisberger situation?" Mary, Mom, Grammy - You choose
I think he needs to be careful when he goes out anywhere because there are so many women who know he is young, single, and rich and will look for any opportunity to get money from him. If he needs to have a sexual type of date he can get an expensive call girl or escort and will never be accused of anything. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE ACCUSATIONS AT ALL.

I am starting to wonder if Ben is a dumb ass. You don't see the "top" QB's in the league getting into these type of situations.

Whether he is guilty or not guilty of anything right now does not erase perception. The damage is already there and a chance to clean the slate is gone. Whether it will damage his pending case, it sure won't help it that's for sure. The Steeler ownership is probably really at a quandry at this point. Is this guy going to require a full time chaperon like PACMAN Jones. Back in the days and times when guys like Joe Namath and Paul Hornung ran wild, this would have been a joke and a laugh off. Times have changed folks. Now he is definitely a marked man, not a good thing when you want honestly date a nice girl even if your intentions honorably. Big Ben may have to start spending his off seasons in countries where he is not recognized.

In regards to the one email you got in response to your comments on the latest Roethlisberger incident, I would recommend that the writer read the article in today’s Pittsburgh Post- Gazette by Ron Cook.

This sucks. I never doubted him the first time, especially after what The Bus went through. Unfortunately, I don't feel as compelled to give him the benefit of the doubt this time around. I have a bad feeling about this. I pray that this just just another bitch trying to get rich & famous, and find it hard to believe Ben could really be so stupid, but there's definitely doubt in my mind.
Patterns aren't mere coincidence.

My view of the Roethlisberger situation is "where there's smoke, there's fire" is usually true. A lot of Ben's defenders were quick to point out his first accusers downsides, but the truth was that he had chosen to have sex with her. How consensual it was was the question, and with a strictly "He Said/She Said" situation, it's impossible to tell. Now we have Ben getting involved in another situation where he may have been forcing himself on another woman (and yes... even an unwanted kiss can be considered sexual assault). I've only met Ben once, when he was down here to play the Jags, and he was an ass. Do I think he could have taken a few liberties with this young lady? Absolutely. Could she have over-reacted? Probably.
