Ben Roethlisberger: Not the Guy We Thought?

Ben Roethlisberger is being accused of sexual assault for the second time.

A 20 year old college student accused Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting her at a nightclub early Friday during a night on the town near where he owns a lake house.

Police said the alleged assault occurred early Friday morning in Milledgeville, about 85 miles from Atlanta. Police Chief Richard Malone said Roethlisberger had been with three other people who were mingling with another group that included the alleged victim.

“He’s been identified as being at the scene and there are allegations naming him as the perpetrator,” Malone said.

Roethlisberger has been sued by a Reno woman, Andrea McNulty, who claims he raped her in 2008 at a Lake Tahoe hotel. He denies those allegations.

The first time, I gave Ben the benefit of the doubt. I figured it was some crazy lying woman. Now? I’m not so sure. Not to sound like Dennis Green, but is Ben Roethlisberger not who we thought he was???

Pro athletes shouldn’t be putting themselves in these situations. Big Ben: You’re a big idiot. Stop partying with college kids. You’re a creepy 28 year old man. Nobody wants to see you in line to buy a red cup at a college kegger.

The Steelers’ organization is apparently pissed at Roethlisberger, and rightfully so. Even Kobe wasn’t accused twice! (I will take as many unnecessary shots at Kobe as I have to.) Common, Ben. I’ve kind of disliked the Steelers for a while now, especially with them winning two Super Bowls recently. Now, I’m going to actively root against them.

Santonio Holmes nude pictures, two Roethlisberger allegations…what’s going on in Pittsburgh? I understand that you guys won the Super Bowl last year, but that doesn’t mean you can run amuck and do whatever you want.

Maybe big Ben should buddy up with Tiger. Just saying.
