OT -- Big Ben

PrintHeard an interview with a member of the Pittsburgh media this morning, addressing the subject of Ben Roethlisberger and his general douchiness.
A couple of interesting tidbits, but the one that jumped out at me is that he's developed a reputation for skipping out on bar tabs. According to this guy, Ben's philosophy is that, if he's at a bar, people call and text their friends and more people show up at the bar, so the bar is making more money, and thus he shouldn't have to pay.
He also said that Natalie Gublis ditched him because her parents came over to meet him, and he was watching TV on the couch and wouldn't bother to get up to come say hello to them.
The overall description was one of an entitled frat guy.

So count him on the list.

high school mythical national championships?
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

Probably the gayest possible way to show off those rings.
Except maybe putting his hand up in front of his face.

I haven't watched espn lately but I'm guessing this rape thing has been swept under the rug right?

Negative.
Actually watched sportscenter this morning (first time in years) and they covered it right before they talked about the Mavs 12th win in a row. They had some TMZ pictures of women he was hanging out with that night and a reporter there discussing the finer points of admissible evidence in that city/county.

What is espn?
You reminded me that I haven’t watched espn in at least a year. MLB Network + NFL Network = greatness.

didn't the city of Pittsburgh want him to do a PSA
about helmet and seat belt safety?
I think he declined to do the commercial, IIRC.

So here we go again.
except this time, it’s a fat white guy.

wouldn't surprise me at all
to see him cut if they even try to go forward with criminal charges. The Rooney’s wont jack around with his BS, and as far as I’m concerned he wouldn’t be that hard to replace, they don’t ask their QB’s to do that much. Hopefully this is the beginning of the end for this douche.
im sorry
even the rooneys not messing around with BS i dont think they are ready to roll next year with dennis dixon as their starting QB.
they don’t ask their QB’s to do that much.
these are not the fucking bill cowher steelers — did you even watch them last year?
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.
I dont think they would role with Dixon
although they did almost beat the Ravens with him starting for them last year! I do think Ben is a talent, but not so much that his production couldn’t be somewhat replaced by the likes of a Jake Delhomme, Jon Kitna type
by blueballlefty on Mar 9, 2010 2:53 PM CST up reply actions
key word
almost.
and you clearly did not watch their games last year, and have not watched a steelers game since cowher was there
your showing you dont know jack about the steelers.
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.

alright douchey lets have a steelers quiz for the last 4 years
I’m sure I’ll be fine even though i hate them

Any QB apart from Rongrastname would probably die
behind that o-line. Watching the guy shrug off pass rushers is like watching McNabb in his heyday pulling his shit on the Cowboys.
Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.
this.
a thousand times this.
“big ben” is good.

Never liked the guy or see how they say he's such a great QB
"Hell's frozen over, Pigs are flying! The Saints have won the Super Bowl"
But he won
2 Super Bowls.
I keep hearing winning Super Bowls is the mark of a great QB.

More from the defense behind him than anything he did
-Roethlisberger had one of the worst passing games of his career, completing just nine of 21 passes for 123 yards and two interceptions; his passer rating of 22.6 was the lowest in Super Bowl history by a winning quarterback.(1st SB)
-Overall, Roethlisberger finished 21 of 30 for 256 yards, one TD, and one INT. He had a passer rating of 93.2.(Second SB)
So one horrific and one sorta good game

As the investigation regarding the sexual assault allegations against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger continues, KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh reports that Roethlisberger has conceded having “sexual contact” with the woman who claims sexual assault, but that there was no intercourse.
What the hell does sexual contact mean? There was sexual contact but no intercourse.

Sexual contact
Given my line of work, I know something about the distinction.
Sexual intercourse is penetration.
Sexual contact is kissing, fondling, and the like. All sexual intercourse is sexual contact, but not all sexual contact is sexual intercourse.

That makes sense.
I have a feeling thought that Big Ben is in big shit.
