I’m starting an investigation today to find out why all these people are lying about Ben Roethliusberger.

Everyone reporting this crap on Roethlisberger should lose all credentials. It is unbelievable to me that writers are interviewing & reporting on things that drunks say happened in bars and nightclubs. You could find people to say negative things about anybody. Especially athletes. The higher profile athlete, the more stories there are and the more people will embelish them. Search hard enough and you could find theres someone out there willing to say bad things about anybody. Even you Mr Steigerwald. How about “JUST REPORT ON THE GAME” …you should be embarrassed for using these alleged incedents to try to resurrect your carreer. And the writer for SI should be fired!

He was a jerk in high school too, I sat with him in class so I was there to watch it all. Also played football with him. He was respectful to the teachers and authorities however, but not a lot of other high school people liked him.

All these over-reactions to the whole Big Ben saga (is he really that bad??) is NOTHING in comparison to what antics and shenanigans that bestowed arguably one of the Greatest players of Australian Rules Football’s Wayne Carey. Some of you may have heard of him.. he has actually assaulted a Florida policeman for that matter (after retirement). On Field, he was a BEAST!! (think domination) He was the type that many other opposition supporters HATED but still knew it’s exactly the type of player they wanted to play for their team. Admired by many yet despised like no other. Big Ben has only transgressed on a minor scale.. CAREY was already a felon (charged for indecent assault) of a female in the early hours of the morning after a play-off loss (read: Conference Championship) …but you know what… in the upcoming years.. his ON-FIELD DOMINANCE overshadowed his negatives. Winning Two Championships in 4 years (very ironic to the Steelers) and losing one. To cut a long story short.. Wayne Carey was was actually FIRED by his own team-mates… having to ‘unceremoniously force to retire’ from the club. This happened because of being caught on the spot with a team-mate’s wife in the bathroom… two weeks before the actual 2002 season started!!! Team still made the play-offs
without him. Would of gone alot further with him.. maybe win the club’s Third Championship in that era of the ’90’s & early 00’s..

On field Arrogance played a big part in Carey’s dominance and ‘persona’. No Doubt.
Big Ben is a play-ful puppy off the field in comparison who will need to realise that he must make smarter adjustments.

And make no mistake, IMHO, the Six week suspension has clearly SAVED his career as the Steelers QB.. he would of been most likely traded if it were say 2 weeks. I know how important it is to have a franchise QB and the Rooney’s have to hold their nerve. Smart move.

I’ve been a passionate Steelers fan since 1989.

Big Ben has talent,but he has shown that being talented doesn’t mean you are the sharpest tool in the shed.He may have the size and all..I mean who else out there can see over the whole front line? And doesn’t even have to back out of the pocket to do it?But when you see him,and really look at him….Well, it’s a No Brainer,cause Big Ben will forever be stupid Ben!! such talent wasted..

I hope he gets traded. It would be tough to pull for a team that he is on. Worst case scenario he is a rapist who should be in prison for the next 25 years. Best case scenario he is a sexual predator who has no problems getting a 20 year old girl so drunk that she can no longer speak coherently and have sex with her in a bar bathroom while his “security guards” stand outside and stop the girls’ friends from coming into the restroom to stop the sexual act. I know it isn’t much but I will not support a team, financially or as a fan, that has him on the roster. I am also disgusted to think that 2 local policemen would allow this to happen as off duty security guards and them come back here to work to “serve and protect” me.

Sexual assault is a very serious subject and I never want it to look like I would support someone who would be capable of doing what has happened.

You chose the comparison my dear, not me. Sidney is a dear, a tremendous player, and Mario and his parents will not allow him to be anything other. These guys don’t need to call anyone when out on a date, my point is that they cannot live a normal life without the media hot on the trail. Ben is an ass, but I firmly believe that we added to the fire. Had he lived in the same cocoon in Dan’s house, living by Dan’s rules don’t you think it would have had the same effect as Sid?
