I thought Ben Roethlisberger was dumb back in the day for not wearing a helmet while riding a motorcycle. Little did I know, he was just getting started.
Big Ben is certainly breathing a sigh of relief. No charges are being brought against him in his most recent sexual assault debacle–this we know. Whatever punishment the league hands out will amount to little more than a slap on the wrist.
Even if he’s suspended for multiple games, or what I think appropriate, indefinitely, whatever remaining respect you have for Roethlisberger, a quick perusal of quotes from the police report will make you want to burn the dude’s jersey.
Mixing news and gossip sources, everything seems to fit together like a perfect puzzle. And honestly, I think everyone is starting to see TMZ as the most honest “source of negativity” available. They want to make everyone look bad.
According to TMZ, as well as many other sources, the officer involved in the case, Sgt. Jerry Blash, has resigned–his resignation serving as the only alternative to being fired. Apparently, Sgt. Blash, the officer on the scene who was busy being photographed with Roethlisberger just after the incident, was spouting speculation at the onset of the investigation, referring to the accuser as a “f**king b**ch” while telling her friends that, “Roethlisberger has a lot of money,” and in filing a report they “would be wasting their time.”
If getting a bad cop off the force is a waste of time, then it’s time well wasted.
The thing that really gets me. If the league thought he were innocent of these charges, would they be considering a punishment? Would Art Rooney II, and the organization plan to punish him as well? Punish him for what? Looking bad? Being in the wrong place at the wrong time? It all stinks.

I have a good friend from school who is from Pitt. He goes to some of the same watering holes as Ben, and told me point blank to my my face that Ben is an obnoxious drinker. When he’s wasted he says anything that comes to his head to women. A lot of the times they are so offended that they don’t even care that he’s a star.
After reading excerpts from the police reports – I truly believe that Ben “TAKE THE GoOdieS” Rothlisberger raped that young woman. I also believe he belongs in jail and out of the NFL totally. If we can send Michael Vick to jail for abusing dogs then certainly what Rothlisberger did is far worse. I used to have a good opinion of him even though I wasn’t a Steeler’s fan. Now I think he is just a P-O-S. He belongs in jail where any other rapist would be. Payoffs just seem to cement the facts that he knew what he did was wrong. The Pennsylvania State Police need to investigate the officer that was his bodyguard and bring him up on charges also if the facts indicate the he aided and abetted the rape of that young woman. This just makes my skin crawl.
This man should be in jail. There are women who try to take rich people(Like the Seagal story), but this woman has back up witness. Multiple witness confirm the first thing out of her mouth was help me, I was raped. It was not hey, I just got lucky with a football player.
What should be the deciding factor is was the “ripped”. A woman who has willing sex with someone, would not have her genitals ripped. A woman forced to have sex, will be ripped and bleeding.
This is one of the reasons it is so important to have a victim checked at the hospital.
I just wonder why all these superstar types feel that they have to get a woman drunk before trying to get theirs. The fact that a 28 yr old man needs to engage 20 yr olds is sad in itself; the fact that sexual assault is not a strong enough crime like say, dog fighting is sadder! How do we send one guy to jail for dogs and then let a rapist stay in the game because he has two rings?
Everybody on this site knows BIG BEN “TAKE THE PU$$Y” ROETHLISBURGERwill not go to jail EVEN if he did it, because it’s her word against his and Ben is in the “GOOD OLD BOYS CLUB”. You don’t get that media courtesy unless you’re in that club and it is obvious two times in a row he is. Just boys being boys. (B*LLSH!T!!) Just boys being Pepe Le Pew!!!!! Taking Pu$$%. The Media and police are giving him time to get her payed off no doubt. The Rooney’s will put something in the pot too. The Rooney’s are “RAPIST” enablers for keeping Ben and helping him beat rape cases.
BOYCOTT THE STEELERS AND THE RAPIST ROONEYS.
Were any of you there? I am not blindly defending him. After a while where there is smoke …However you have him down as rapist. Maybe a 20 old drinking in the bars wasn’t the only one making bad descions that night. He needs to act with the morals of a leader and not a fratboy. SAC UP and stop acting like a jacka$$.
DIE HARD STEELERS FAN
(not a die hard ben r. FAN)
I dont know how any of you people can actually defend this guy. If i was a steelers fan (which im not) i could not cheer for this team with him on that roster. he is supposed to be a role model for kids and he is doing the complete opposite of what you would want your child to be. I beleive that people get coaught in the wrong place at the wrong time, but not twice in less then a year!! It makes me sick. PaleHorse is right on the money, Everyone is at fault here. Why is Ben going after 20 year old girls in the first place. Hes a fat slob that would not be able to get a girl if he didnt play in the NFL. Hes an absolute prick to women and he thinks hes the hottest shit since sliced bread. Whats even more disturbing is that there are 2 officers involved that should lose their jobs. You can honestly sit there and say hes innocent after a police officer said “dont even bother with the rape charges, hes got alot of money” and then do a photo shoot with this guy. people have been punished for far less and hes walk away with a 2-4 game suspension. it makes me sick. This “bodygaurd” police officer im sure knew nothing “wrong” was going on in that bathroom but wouldnt let the girls friend come in. i beleive that as far as i can throw Ben’s fat ass. Im a nurse and if that girl goes into a hospital, not even hearing the story, you would say she was rapped. the only reason there are no charges are because 2 lawless pigs are involved and Ben being a celebrity. Goddell has to kick him out of this league, becuase even if Art Rooney does it some other team will be willing to “give him another chance” and thats not enough. how you can rout for this team is beyond me at this point.
1. Ben did not rape the girl or they would have prosecuted.
2. Bill did have sex with Monica
3. Anti-Steeler fans can go suck eggs, your team still stinks.
haha please Joe. At this rate, in 3 years the steelers wont have an offense to put out there because all their players are rapist. first santonio holmes, ben roethlisberger, whose gonna be next???…..
Anyone sticking up for this guy is obviously a rapist themselves.. He wasn’t prosecuted Joseph because he’s rich DUH! People are so naive to think the law is just and he didn’t get away with rape, that’s a joke considering the FACT that an officer said himself that the charges wouldn’t stick because ‘he’s rich’. And by the way ‘Steelers haters’ is a joke because they sucked last year why would anyone hate on a crap team ? Get over your rapist QB and stop making yourself look stupid. This guy should be jailed and kicked out of the NFL.. This just proves what I already knew about the NFL: they say they have high standards concerning conduct yet they let a dog murderer and a rapist continue to poison the world as ‘role models’ .. Huge football fan but the NFL is a hypocrisy!
Y dont u all get a life
I am not a Steelers fan but I do not hate them. I have never really liked Ben Roethlisberger though because he has always seemed dopey, not to bright, and he has been riding the coat tails of his teammates on the Steelers. I can’t begin to understand why someone, famous or not, would do something like this. I haven’t read into the whole subject enough to make a strong statement about this and the sites that I have gone to to read about it have different thoughts, feelings, and points of views on the subject. From what I have read though, I am leaning toward the possibility that Ben actually did it. Also I don’t know why Ben would doing something like that when he is dating Missy Peregrym(Andy in Rookie Blue and Haley in Stick It) who is stunningly beautiful.(That last part about Ben’s girlfriend, hopefully ex, isn’t entirely relevant but still confuses me because he has a beautiful girlfriend and he goes and sexually assaults/rapes a woman. I guess it just show that the bike accident made him even more ignorant.)
