Re: BIG BEN IN ANOTHER SEXUAL ASSULT
Nightclub's attorney says Roethlisberger video footage overwritten
NFL.com Wire Reports
An attorney for the Georgia nightclub where a 20-year-old woman accused Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting her said security footage from the evening of the alleged incident was recorded over, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported Thursday.
As a result, the Georgia Bureau of Investigations couldn't retrieve any evidence from the recordings, according to the attorney.
More on Roethlisberger
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday that plans to soon meet with
Ben Roethlisberger because "I am concerned that Ben continues to put himself in this position." More ...
» Tomlin says he talks with Big Ben daily "The DVD system overwrote itself," said Carl Cansino, attorney for the Capitol City nightclub in Milledgeville. "Had it just been deleted, they might have been able to save some of it."
No cameras were pointed at the staff restroom where the alleged incident took place in the early hours of March 5, Cansino told the Tribune-Review.

Bradshaw to Roethlisberger: Fight temptation
Posted: April 13th, 2010 | Adam Rank | Tags: Ben Roethlisberger, Burt Reynolds, Mel Tillis, Pittsburgh Steelers, Terry Bradshaw
Terry Bradshaw wants to give some tough love to embattled Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger.
Bradshaw knows the temptation of being an NFL quarterback. A Super Bowl-winning quarterback in Pittsburgh, at that. Bradshaw spent his offseasons getting into bar-room brawls with Burt Reynolds, and drinking beers while participating in road races with Mel Tillis. Of course, those were movie roles in highly acclaimed films Hooper and The Cannonball Run.
In other words, Bradshaw’s troubles were make believe. Roethlisberger’s are all too real.
The Hall of Fame QB spoke out about Roethlisberger at the annual Terry Bradshaw-Kix Brooks Golf Tournament, hosted by Louisiana Tech athletics (video via KTBS), handing out some advice that his daddy gave to him. Namely, stop embarrassing yourself and quit going to the clubs because of the microscope.
“I hardly ever went in a club — ever — in 14 years in Pittsburghm†Bradshaw said. “Count ‘em on one hand. I was petrified of the problems you can get into. And I almost got into — it’s there, believe me.
“There’s nothing greater if you’re single than to walk into a bar with beautiful women and have them just fill your ego up. And you ask yourself, ‘Would they pay any attention to you if you weren’t, you know, who you are?’ Of course not. Because I’m not that attractive, and neither is Ben. [...]
“He’s got an image problem right now. Best thing to do is don’t ever put yourself in that position again. When you’re through playing football, do whatever you want to do, but right now, stay clean. Stay out of trouble. Stay out of bars. Keep yourself clean.â€
Bradshaw, however, doesn’t believe Roethlisberger will listen to him because the two Steelers legends don’t have a good relationship. Bradshaw tried to reach out to Roethlisberger earlier in his career and was rebuffed.
“When I told him to park the motorcycle, he got pissed,†Bradshaw said. “Then he had that accident. Since then, he doesn’t like me, and I am learning not to like him.â€
The problem, Bradshaw said, is that perception shapes reality, pointing out how much grief Cowboys QB Tony Romo received when he took a playoff trip to Mexico the week before a playoff loss to the Giants in 2008. Bradshaw says that after being accused of a crime in one instance, he would avoid being in that situation again.
“That is the perception, right or wrong,†Bradshaw said. “The only way to clean that up is to stay out of it. Fight the temptation and stay out of those places.
“Once would scare me to death. Twice. I don’t know how you would sleep. I couldn’t handle that.â€
And of his relationship with Roethlisberger?
“Now he (Roethlisberger) hates me forever,†Bradshaw said.

Re: BIG BEN IN ANOTHER SEXUAL ASSULT
Bradshaw tried to give him advice. Bradshaw is well known and his opinion is heard on tv by many people during the season. No matter what Ben has taken a big hit on how people view him. His days of playing in the bars better be behind him because the abuse his body has taken over the years will not allow him to play for and extended period of time.

Steelers have internally discussed trading Roethlisberger
By Jason La Canfora | NFL.com
The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't talked with other teams about dealing embattled quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, but they've had significant internal discussions about the matter, a source with knowledge of the situation said Thursday.
According to the source, Steelers ownership remains dismayed and embarrassed by Roethlisberger's actions in a Georgia college town this offseason and finds his string of off-the-field incidents troubling. The team has been closely monitoring the public backlash against Roethlisberger.
Goodell stresses conduct policy
NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell issued a memo to all clubs last Wednesday, stressing to all parties the importance of the league's personal-conduct policy. More ...
» Goodell: Roethlisberger ruling soon "The Rooneys are livid," the source said.
A Georgia district attorney decided not to hand down sexual-assault criminal charges against Roethlisberger on Monday, but the Steelers, as well as the NFL, could impose their own discipline on him.
Roethlisberger met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell on Tuesday. Goodell said Wednesday that he would make a decision on Roethlisberger's status "in the near future."
The Steelers' front office has talked internally about possible trade scenarios that could be feasible and what makes sense for the team. According to a source, if other teams called about Roethlisberger, the Steelers would intently listen.
The Steelers could envision several trade scenarios, but they're skeptical about other teams taking on Roethlisberger, given his baggage. However, they also realize his contract is tradeable in an uncapped year, with the bonuses already paid and Roethlisberger signed for six more years at a manageable salary for a franchise quarterback ($8.05 million in 2010, $11.6 million per year from 2011 to 2014, and $12.1 million in 2015).
Roethlisberger still could be punished
Despite the DA's decision not to hand down sexual-assault charges against
Ben Roethlisberger, the
QB might not escape punishment, Steve Wyche writes. More ...
» Roethlisberger won't face charges
» Roethlisberger meets with Goodell
» Video: All eyes on Ben
» Video: Roethlisberger statement
» Video: Pittsburgh fallout
» Video: Black eye in Pittsburgh
In particular, the Steelers are enamored with likely No. 1 overall draft pick Sam Bradford. They essentially view Bradford as a sure-thing franchise quarterback and have considered what it would take to move up to the No. 1 pick in a trade with the St. Louis Rams, according to a source. However, the Steelers know executing such a move would be highly difficult, and they figure the Rams have limited interest in Roethlisberger.
Steelers officials aren't worried about how Roethlisberger's return will impact the locker room. The Rooneys' concern is born of the history and prestige of their franchise, the recent fan backlash and public perception about Roethlisberger and their belief that no player is bigger than the team.
However, the source noted that this isn't "a Santonio Holmes situation," alluding to the Steelers dumping the talented but troubled receiver for a fifth-round pick over the weekend as he faced a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy.
"This is not a case of having to get rid of this guy,'" the source said. "There would have to be fair value."
Roethlisberger, drafted 11th overall in 2004, has performed at an elite level for the Steelers. He's among the winningest quarterbacks for his age and already possesses two Super Bowl rings. His size, improvisational skills and ability to escape the rush and deliver the ball to all parts of the field make him among the best in the league.
Should Roethlisberger have another off-the-field misstep, however, his Steelers career likely would be over, according to team and league sources. And, if a legitimate trade scenario materialized, that end could come much sooner.
Teams that aren't committed long-term to a starting quarterback include the Rams, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers, Denver Broncos, Carolina Panthers, Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals.
The Steelers refused to entertain dealing Holmes within the AFC North, and that would apply with Roethlisberger as well. A trade likely would have to involve a quarterback or put the Steelers in position to draft one they like (Pittsburgh is high on its young backup, Dennis Dixon, however).
Finding the right deal is remote, the Steelers know, but not necessarily impossible.

Re: BIG BEN IN ANOTHER SEXUAL ASSULT
Some young bloods think they know it all!!!Bradshaw was one hell of a QB back in the day,as for Dixon he is one hell of a QB just waiting for the chance.
Re: BIG BEN IN ANOTHER SEXUAL ASSULT
Ben would do well to listen to Bradshaw's advice.
I wonder when the Rooney's will have had enough.

First off yes i am a REAL fan. Why do i say that? He was found NOT guilty therefore he should NOT be treated like he was. I agree if he WAS found guilty i would say trade him jail him etc.. But he was NOT because of NO evidence. By the way if they did trade ben (which they won't) It would be very foolish considering he has 2 super bowl's already and he is still young. The team would not even make play offs without his play making ablilities

Re: BIG BEN IN ANOTHER SEXUAL ASSULT
Not excusing Ben in any way here- but one thing about this that hasn't been brought up is the fact that the Woman was 20 years old.Dont you have to be 21 to even be in a bar legally? I know,under age people get in all the time. Yeah,maybe Big Ben bought her a beer or two,but how may times has the bartender at this bar sold to her as a minor and turned a blind eye to it? If she is in that bar at 20 i'm sure she was there at 18 as well.To make a long story short-not only should Ben not been in that bar for obvious reasons,neither should she had the owners been doing their jobs.Just some food for thought.

You can be 18 to walk in most clubs, they just give a a mark on the hands saying your under 21 so you can't drink. If you are 21 and over you get a wristband that lets the bartenders know you are of LEGAL drinking age.
