Do you have any support for this outlandish claim?

Isn't the point of making legal troubles disappear the reason why someone may not have support to make those kind of claims? Just saying...

So is that a no?

That's a no from me. People have gotten a lot better with cover ups since 1947. Actually I don't have any proof of that claim either.

Oh, in that case Ben Rothlesburger actually killed and ate all of the children in a burn ward at a local Pittsburgh hospital.

The police covered it up though, that's why there's no evidence that it actually happened. I know that the police did this because Ben is wealthy.

I knew there was a reason why I didn't like that guy. That is pretty bad.

That's why I don't like him.

Rape allegations pale in comparison to these other things I can't prove. I also hear that he worships Satan and parks in Handicapped Spaces.

That's too much! If you keep this up, I may have to destroy my Genestealer Steeler!

That is amazing!

You made that?

Wait a minute... don't they also try to force their seed into you and cause you to forget about it afterwards...

I sure did! I plan on making a whole team of them eventually. You think I still should?

Here is one other pic of him:

No I don't think you should.

I think you must!

Thanks for the peptalk! I really do want to finish them. I had ideas of using Warriors (Maybe even carnifexes) as linebackers. I am not too sure on what else. I guess it could mostly be genestealers.

You should use a Carnifex as your Defensive Center.

If Vince Wilfork was a tyranid, that's what he'd be.

The game wasn't an edge of your seat experience. It was decent but nothing anyone is going to be talking about in years to come.

The halftime show sucked. I'm ambivalent towards the Blackeyed Peas. They have a few catchy songs but its generic pop. Fergie is easy on the eyes and has one half decent rock song. What happened at half time though was just awful. The design was something out of 1993, the songs were read, not sung, and it was just bleh.

Looking back at halftime shows there was a trend to do ever weirder and weirder things straight out of MTV or the like, things no one who actually gives a crap about football would ever want to watch. Then Janet Jackson's tit got away from her. Since then the trend has been to keep the halftime shows as bland and inoffensive as possible and they suck. There's got to be a middle ground between interpretive dance and the abortion of last night.

Between the black eyed peas and the constant advertising for the after game glee special, I was perplexed at who these things were aimed at in the Superbowl viewing audience...

Someone said here that rock and roll and metal would be good. I suspect getting some ancient antediluvian rocker like The Boss or AC/DC or perhaps metal behemoths like Motorhead or Black Sabbath up there would electrify the entire stadium and set the ground shaking.

Can you imagine Thunderstruck or Ace of Spades or some other anthem like that belting out, with some apache gunships and dancing girls...

That would have been the shiz.

AC/DC would have been legend.

I'm not supposed to advocate violence, so I'll just say that the constant whoring of Glee displeased me.

It was a close game, which is all I ask of a Superbowl.

Some pretty good defensive plays by Green Bay made up for their wide receivers' horrible play in the first half. Honestly, they looked really sloppy. Aaron Rodgers was putting the ball in their hands and they kept putting it on the ground. Fortunately for GB, they made some excellent defensive stops in the first half.

Ben made a few bad decisions and tried to force the ball into double coverage too often and got burned by it. I'm not sure where the Steelers running game went. The Steelers finally turned it on in the second half, but too little too late.

Both sides were racked with injuries.

It was widely reported and discussed when the event happened, but thats right everyone except Ben is lying...

Everyone was saying that the police bleached the bathroom? I get that it was cleaned, but I don't know if the police were complicit in the club's bathroom cleaning schedule.

Also, I'll take your response as a distinct "no" answer to my question.

More fun Ben Rothlesburger facts.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4567321

The more I research this issue, the more wrong you are.

Interesting stats:

This is the first year since 1962 that a team has never trailed by more than 7 points. Green Bay did it this year.
Aaron Rodgers joined Steve Young and Joe Montana as the only QBs to throw for 300 yards and 3 TDs in a Superbowl victory.
Aaron Rodgers joined Kurt Warner as the only QBs to throw at least 1000 yards and 9 TDs in the postseason.

Ben Roethlisberger now has 3 TDs and 5 picks in 3 Superbowl appearances.

Right, because people have never counter-sued as a means to defelct the issue or gain revenge...

What is your evidence that this is the case?

Monster Rain wrote:What is your evidence that this is the case?

Your right, he is an innocent victim, just ask the investigating officer who was more interested in posing for pictures with the accused then performing an adequate and thorough investigation:

The police have the authority to declare a crime scene and then make it off-limits. Instead they posed for pics with the accused, did nothing to secure the crime scene and then left at which point the club generously removed all evidence for their superstar patron with a good bleaching...

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I still don't see how any of this is evidence of a police conspiracy.

So are you arguing that he is guilty but stupid policework failed to get him, because stupid policework doesn't make him any less of a predator.

Two sexul assault allegations in less then a year and a long standing history of acting like a entitled a-hole make it pretty clear what kind of douche this guy is.

Another great story that attests to his character is the one told by his teammates of him swearing and running riot at clubs refusing to pay cover and stating that the club should be paying him to be there. His embarrassed teammates had to go back and pay his cover and make ammends for him being a giant egotistical ass. yeah that doesn't sound like a guy that would force himself onto women at all.

He has a history of acting like he is above the law, rules and social code of society. he is an entitled jackass who thinks people are fortunate to be in his presence and this is all well documented by those that deal with him, both media folks, other players, etc.

I'm not really thinking he is the one that has earned the benefit of the doubt here, but it is people like you that validate him continuing to be a disgusting human being (sexual assaults aside)...

I hope someone like him never has the opportunity to be alone with your daughter...

Jesus, Roethlisberger is an alleged rapist and he will always be an alleged rapist, just like Brett Favre will always be known for picking his Vicodin out of his vomit.

Congrats on your win. You only have to win two more SBs to catch up. And don't give me "NFL championships" from some 12 team league 50 years ago.

Seriously though, the fact is that the Steelers showed your team plenty of respect leading up to the game and during the game. So off the high horse. Or should we bring up Mr. Brandon Underwood? Any NFL fan who thinks his fave team is nothing but a bunch of choir boys is seriously deluding themselves.

Regarding BR, it's fairly clear he acted like a jerk...however, that doesn't make him a rapist. And the more you read about the woman in Nevada (told co-workers she was in love with him and wanted "a little Roethlisberger") and the girl in GA (followed him around from bar to bar wearing a "DTF" button and initially told police he didn't assault her and couldn't remember having sex with him), the more it looks like some really bad hookups and not the actions of a predator. Ergo, the proper terminology here is "dolt." Apparently he's engaged now, so I imagine the fear of her going Lorena Bobbit on him will keep him on the straight and narrow.

Troy P. was almost certainly still injured the past few weeks. He usually patrols around the line of scrimmage and wreaks havoc there. But throughout the playoffs they often had him playing in very deep coverage. They were pretty clearly protecting him, IMO. Injuries are the guy's one weakness...he often outhits his body, if that makes sense. Those were two very banged-up teams last night that then had even more injuries during the game. And they want to go to an 18-game season? Crazy.

With luck, my daughter won't be putting herself in those situations to begin with.

Exactly.

Step 1: Have a mental illness.
Step 2: Have sex with well-known sports figure.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!

Do I think he's a good person? Not really. Do I think he's on a nationwide raping spree with police protection? Also no. He hooks up with crazy broads (Kobe, listen up) and it gets him into trouble.

Nope. I'm arguing that the actions of the police weren't based on a conspiracy to keep Rothlesburger out of trouble.

Actually, the Steelers fans were putting the Packers down and are in fact the most arrogant fans in the NFL perhaps. The difference between a Packers fan and a Steelers fan is the fact that Packers fans know the Steelers are a good team but believe the Pack will still win. Talk to a Packers fan about football and they'll talk your ear off. A Steelers fan puts other teams down and gloats about their wins.

Also, why is it that there are jokes about the Steelers' quarterback having a criminal record while there are none for the Packers' quarterback?

Hell, the only decent people you have on your team are Ward and Polamalu, by decent people I don't mean good players I mean nice guys.

Couple that with the fact that the Green Bay Packers are the only non-profit, community owned team says something about the caliber of people we have on our team. The 'G' stands for greatness and we expect greatness from our players and greatness from fellow fans.

Concerning injuries, we didn't have our starter LB in, Zombo is a secondary, we lost almost our entire offensive scorers seeing as though we only had Driver and Rodgers left after the first game. In the Super Bowl we didn't have our starting kicker(Crosby) in until the 4th quarter and we lost Driver, Woodson, and Shields in the first quarter. Despite all this we still managed to beat you with Jones(who can't catch), Jennings(who can't keep the ball), and Nelson(a lesser known receiver). I didn't notice Kuhn playing either and he's our 3rd down conversion maker.
