Big Ben's Night Out

But by all accounts, Polamalu isn't out slamming shots and doing keg stands. Instead, he's home with his wife and kid(s) doing plyometrics in the offseason. (I think. He's one of the most private superstars in the NFL.)

Roethlisberger's biggest problem is the booze when it comes to his douchebaggery and even his offseason weight gains.

 

Several of the ex-Steelers who met with untimely ends were known steroids users.
Everybody wants to point to the football connection with brain damage, but almost no one wants to wonder if there's another cause.

 

This is from 5 1/2 years ago.

Average life expectancy of an NFL player is in the 50s.

I'm guessing Ben can answer yes to a lot of the "Are you an alcoholic?" questions they ask you.

 

True.. but not all brain damage is the same.

The frontal lobe is responsible for inhibitions. As people age, the frontal lobe starts to deteriorate - that's why old folks often blurt out exactly what's on their minds - even if it's hurtful to their loved ones.

For Ben, add alcohol to the mix, and think of its effect on inhibitions.

Look - it's just one of those crazy Lugnut theories I like to throw out there... who knows...

But suffice it to say, after reading about the frontal lobe a few years ago... let's all protect ours!

 

There was a House episode on this. Dude would say the most vicious things to his wife and loved ones, House goes under the hood and sees it's related to that corresponding part of the brain (judgment and inhibition).

 

Allegedly violated.

 

If it is on TV it must be true.

 

Oh. What happened in the bathroom we'll never know. It would help if the girl didn't drink herself invisible, with the help of a 28-year-old man wearing a devil shirt. What we do know is after she emerged from the bathroom, she IMMEDIATELY went to the cops who took her to the HOSPITAL. At the hospital, they found she had a HEAD WOUND and BLOOD and BRUISES on her VAGINA (please stop and think about that for a minute) and administered a RAPE KIT. I guess she got all of that from Barney Fife.

Nothing ALLEGED about any of that.

 

Like I've said before, I wish we had more about what actually happened in that bathroom. The police report is 572 pages of "Girls Gone Wild" interrupted by two sentences to recount an alleged rape.

 

That's what happens when you have a bunch of jokers running a police investigation.

Haven't you been stopped for speeding before in a small Southern town? They practically treat you like you're Matt f-ing Bourne. Well, unless you're Ben and you're buddies with the cops and they pose for goofy pictures with you.

BR's next celebrity endorsement should be Pine Sol. It got him out of a heap of trouble.

 

These are tremendous points.

And to reiterate: What a Mickey Mouse police report. It reads like they wanted to know way more about what it was like to hang with Big Ben at the bars than about what happened IN THE GODDAMNED BATHROOM!!!!!!
