If you’re a Steelers fan, you’ve gotta be concerned that Roethlisberger may not play next season.
As the investigation regarding the sexual assault allegations against Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger continues, KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh reports that Roethlisberger has conceded having “sexual contact” with the woman who claims sexual assault, but that there was no intercourse.
The admission apparently came during an interview of Roethlisberger conducted at the scene.
Per the report, Roethlisberger claims that the woman fell and injured her head after the incident. She then went to a hospital and alleged that she was sexually assaulted.
Oh boy – the old “she fell down” excuse. That’s the absolute oldest excuse for a a beating that it’s become cliche. Didn’t Big Ben hire a hot shot attorney for this case? And that’s the best he could come up with? He’d be better off hiring the corpse of Johnny Cochran and instituting the Chewbacca defense:
I did not rape that girl. What does that have to do with Chewbacca? Nothing – it doesn’t make sense! You must acquit!

I have a feeling that this isn’t going to end real well for Big Ben.
Ben Roethlisberger has been asked to fork over a DNA sample to cops as part of the investigation into accusations that the NFL star sexually assaulted a 20-year-old woman.
The Milledgeville Police Department claim they made the request to Ben’s legal team and believe Roethlisberger will comply.
Here’s why I think this is bad news: the cops wouldn’t ask for DNA from Roethisberger unless they had something to compare his DNA to. Specifically, they must have found DNA on either the accuser or her clothes, or on something that indicates Big Ben sexually assaulted her. It’s not like the cops ask every suspect for DNA and then search for a match after obtaining it. That’d be ridiculous. No, my guess is that the cops found human DNA on the accuser’s clothes, and now they’re going to see if it matches.
And I doubt it’s someone else’s DNA, for the very simple reason that even thought girls can be crazy and make false accusations, I don’t think even the craziest of girls would be sexually assaulted by one guy and then claim someone else – especially someone famous – did it. Mark my words, Big Ben is gonna be in a lot of trouble.

In what has to be the most under the radar cheering squad in the NFL this past season, The Seattle Seagals were of the highest quality. I had absolutely no clue that these girls were so incredible.
Normally you hear of the likes of the Laker Girls or Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders when you think of professional squads. Well this year I’m pushing for the Seagals to make names for themselves.
Just one Playboy shoot is all it would take.
Until then, here’s a nice gallery of the Gals in action
The only question is, which version of Antonio Cromartie have the Jets acquired?
A few hours before the NFL’s free agency period began, the Jets improved their secondary in a big way by agreeing in principle with the San Diego Chargers to acquire talented but troubled cornerback Antonio Cromartie(notes) on Thursday night.
The Jets confirmed the deal, but didn’t release specifics—although it is believed to be for a draft pick in 2011.
I like this deal for both teams, as the Chargers really wanted to get rid of Cromartie. After dealing with Merriman’s bullshit all season, the last thing they needed was another distraction. Besides, Jammer and Cason are both very capable corners, and both played much better than Cromartie over the past season. Hopefully the pick is a high one (it’s got to be a 3rd rounder at worst, right?), and I’d expect the Chargers to draft – of course – a running back.
As for the Jets, if Cromartie plays like his 2007 self, they’ll have the best corner tandem in the league. By a lot. If he doesn’t work out, well, the Jets were pretty solid anyway and it’s a risk worth taking.
And for Cromartie himself, going from the warmth and laid-back atmosphere of San Diego to the urban jungle that is New York will be a big change, but as my friend Toby point out, he’s going to impregnate MADDDDDD chicks, yo!
Seriously, how do people root for Michael Vick? He’s legendarily dumb. Vick recently told Brad Biggs that he’d like to play for the Carolina Panthers. Why?
“Well, you know, it’s close to home,” Vick said. “I like the uniforms. You get to play against Atlanta twice a year. Ain’t nothing better than playing against your former team, right? So, yeah, that would be a good look, it would be a good look.”
Only two types of people like teams based on uniforms: chicks and children. There’s really not too much to say on this, as it’s pretty well-documented what a moronic scumbag Michael Vick is. It may seem like I’m picking on him, and I am. The guy electrocuted dogs and slammed them into concrete, and let’s not forget about his whole “Ron Mexico” ordeal – I think it’s alright to pile it on for a while. (So tempted to use “dogpile”)
If you’re unaware of how attractive the Eagles Cheerleaders are then you should be ashamed of yourselves. But they’re not just sexy on the field. These women do some pretty awesome stuff off the field.
On Saturday the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders were out in force the King of Prussia Mall where they teamed up with representatives from Jefferson University Hospital to help promote healthy hearts.
I tell ya I’d feel like my heart were a bit healthier with a visit from these women.

This was reported in the New York Post, so as always, take it with a grain of salt:
Nothing is definite, but the league confirmed yesterday that its Competition Committee is discussing implementing a hybrid of the college and pro overtime rules.
The potential NFL change would guarantee both teams a possession in overtime unless the first team scores a touchdown. If the first team kicks a field goal, the other team would get the ball with a chance to win on a touchdown or extend the game with a field goal.
Now, people think that the overtime system is heavily flawed, but upon closer inspection, the team that wins the coin toss ends up winning the game something like 53% of the time. So there’s an advantage in starting with the ball, but it’s not nearly as large as everyone thinks. Still, in the interest of fairness, a rule change wouldn’t be such a bad idea. I wouldn’t complain.
But what does this proposed rule change really accomplish? If the “sudden death” aspect of the overtime rules is what’s considered unfair, this doesn’t do much to change that, as the team who loses the coin toss may still find itself without ever getting a shot on offense. Either adopt the college rules completely or keep the rules the way they are – this hybrid does nothing except create another way for a team and its fanbase to feel jipped for losing the coin toss.
What’s better than a squad of 25 or so sexy ladies dancing in front a crowd? Why that would be 300 sexy girls dancing in front of only a few people.
By 10:00 am on Saturday, February 20th, the line outside the Dana Farber Field House at Gillette Stadium had grown to almost 300 hopefuls, as ladies waited their turn to register to audition for a coveted position on the 28 member, 2010 Patriots Cheerleading squad.
I tell ya, the Patriots have their hands full having to weed through this year’s crop. I sure as hell wish I had the same problems that the Pats do. You know, other than having to win a Superbowl post Skycamming and all.
