Ben Roethlisberger

Ladies...with all of the trouble Ben Roethlisberger has seemed to get himself into, what are you thoughts on the whole deal.

 I am "still" a Ben Roethlisberger / Steelers fans regardless of the accusations!

Re: Ben Roethlisberger

  • Sure glad the Giants never got him. They more or less forfeited Ben for Eli.
  • I've never liked him. Disliked him when he was playing for Miami (of Ohio) and I dislike him now. That and I really don't like the Steelers.

  • Were the accusations ever proven?

    Even if they were not, it made me smile to see his bloody broken nose in... what was that, week 14-15???

    I'm not a Steelers fan, I'm not a Roethlisberger fan, so meh.  Plus, Roethisberger just has "jerk" face.  (Like from the movie "Step Brothers"?  "I don't know what it is about your face, but everytime I see it, I just want to  deliver one of these (fist) right to your suck hole.")

  • Ang2208...I'm with ya in that I'm still a Big Ben/Steelers fan.  The accusations were never proven and Ben was very cooperative (unlike another quarterback in a sticky situation).  I know everyone is going to have there opinions on Ben, but for me...he is still my favorite qb and one of my favorite players in the NFL regardless of the accusations.
  • I think the guy is a complete d-bag.  Used to like him, but yeah, totally think he's a rapist.  I also think that just because accusations are not proven (especially in high profile situations like this), doesn't mean they didn't happen.  One accusation, depending on the situation, I can give you the benefit of the doubt, but two, well.... 

    In the second situation, he was hanging out at some known underage bar - really dude?  You are a freaking adult and you are hanging out in a bar with 19 and 20 year olds - that just yells sketchy to me.

    all of this.

    accusations aside, what did it for me was a few years ago. If you are a pro athlete who gets paid millions of dollars, the least you can do is wear a freaking helmet if you ride a motorcycle.  then, when you get in an accident and get really hurt you STILL ride without one...then sorry, you are a moron.  I can understand being a fan of the team...but he's a real douche. 

    p.s  GO PATRIOTS! Stick out tongue

  • I am a Steelers fan and a Roethlisberger fan.  I do think of him less as a person after all of the terrible accusations but I still want him to succeed on the football field and I also want him to turn his life around like he has said he is doing.
