Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again (Update- No Charges Filed)

Re: Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again

That "whoosh" you heard was the collective sigh of relief from the Steeler nation.*


*Pending the commissioner's decision to suspend Big Ben for being a drunk dumbass.

 

Re: Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again

And rightfully so. What do you think, three games?

 

Re: Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again

Two accusations. One incredibly weak. If there are no charges filed in either case? I'm guessing he gets a serious ass chewing and, at most, a game.

 

Re: Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again

I'll bet an Omaha steak delivered to your doorstep that he doesn't miss any time.

The organization should be thinking about asking him to go on the wagon a while, of course handled internally. He either can't manage his alcohol or women, maybe both.

 

Re: Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again

No bet there. I really don't know if they even have grounds to suspend him if no charges are filed in the Georgia case.

You may now return to your regularly scheduled jerking off on Roethlisberger's bloated face, fanbois.

 

Re: Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again

Not so fast my friend.. ESPN may have jumped the gun (gasp!!!).
Apparently they cited one source - rather than many sources as initailly reported..They also used the legal opinions oif E. Roger Coswell, sorry Roger Cossack as a source ...
Cossack only claimed in his opinion, Roethlisberger would not be charged.

There was nothing in the Post-Gazette thjis morning.

 

Re: Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again

That's why I wrote it as according to ESPN and "if" he is not charged.

 

Re: Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again

I said two earlier (if no charges are filed) but I wouldn't lose any sleep over three.

 

Re: Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again

Typically, DAs don't tip off a person that he might be charged with a crime by announcing a press conference days before it happens. They make an arrest then hold the press conference.
He won't be charged.

 

Re: Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again

Unless an agreement has been made between the attys for the accused and the D.A. to have their client turn himself in at a certain time... which does happen... but it doesn't seem like the case here.

 

Re: Stillers Fans at DEFCON 1- Big Ben Accused Again

No charges.
