I think it is safe to say that he is a complete idiot blessed with the skills to be an elite athlete.

What a clown.

At the very minimum.

It was a misake IMO for him to admit to the police his involvement to any extent. This is not his first time dealing with law enforcement, he should know what not to say. They're trying to decipher what happened between the time of any advancement on his part, and the time she fell and hit her head.

Complete hijack but along the lines of admit nothing - the other day I was tooling down Interstate 97 at a speed that may have exceeded the limit and the amount in excess may have been more than slight, and I may have changed lanes without a turn signal, and in doing so I may have cut-off the car behind me (who happened to be a State Trooper).

The Trooper pulled me over and asked "Do you know why I pulled you over?" As multiple combinations of the above raced through my mind, I reminded myself to simply say "Uh, no officer." Him: "Any reason you're not wearing a seatbelt?". Me: "Uhhhh, I forgot."

Gave him license and registration and he gave me a $25 ticket for no seat belt. I think it was "take pity on the idiot day"

Now - back to Big Ben and the Big Bang Theory.

I dont want anyone to take this personally, but it seems like some people are almost making excuses for Rothlesberger or minimizing certain unconsented acts as if they would be "no big deal" even if they did happen. If Rothlesberger engaged in any sort of sexual assault, however minor, its no trivial matter. He deserves what he's getting and it better include some sort of judicial punishment and suspension from the league and/or the team. In the "best-case scenario" for him -everything was consensual and hes now being victimized by someone wanting to get a big payday - he's still an idiot, a pervert, and someone who deserves what he's getting right now. He's a liability to reputation of the NFL.

My gut feeling is that he did something wrong in this case. People who are bar hopping between 5 different locations aren't going to be doing anything intelligent or making any good decisions.

I think in the end he'll get off (no pun intended). There was alcohol involved and it's simply her word against his. He's lawyered up with a guy who helped Ray Lewis get away with murder. At this point it's her word against Ben's. I have no clue what legal precedent says about these kind of cases, but even if his DNA matches whatever evidence the cops already have, it's going to pretty difficult to prove (without reasonable doubt) that a sexual assault occurred.

Either way it's another huge hit to his image. At this point he's a scumbag in my eyes.

jeeeez, look at those comments from posters........

Everyone wants his head, so to speak, and noone really knows anything about what went on. Absolutely nothing, and they want him out of the league, banished, for what, being a horny 28 year old millionaire? Idiots, hopefully they will weed these easily swayed minds out if this ever goes to trial. F*cking sheep.

You know just as little as we do. He could have done this type of thing 15 times before and no one came forward until now. No one knows the truth and he was probably so shitfaced that he doesn't know what happened either. Are you really buying the, "Yeah, I banged her and then she hit her head and decided to claim rape" story? He never should have been allowed to make that statement. What an idiot.

Sure he is innocent until proven guilty but as a high profile athlete with a track record of moronic judgement, he has set himself up to be judged in the court of public opinion. It is "right"? Probably not, but that is reality.

You seem to be more closed minded and judgemental about this issue than the other posters. Just calm down and look at the information out there. Things aren't looking too good for Big Ben aka Frank the Tank.

Here is the life lesson that I have learned from this:

If you are a famous 28 year old multi-millionaire, it is bad idea to get hammered and screw a 20 year old college girl in a bathroom during a 5 bar tour in Nowheresville, Georgia.

Edit: Isn't it interesting how aggressive Ben and his legal team were against the first accuser? Seems like a different approach this time around. What is different???
