Big Ben goes free... again.

ESPN's Kelly Naqi reports that Ben Roethlisberger will not be charged with sexual assault stemming from the accusation of a 20-year-old student in Milledgeville (GA) last month.

If Naqi is right, this will be the second sexual assault charge Big Ben has avoided in the last eight months. Earlier Friday, ESPN's Roger Cossack cited "people involved in the case" to predict Roethlisberger wouldn't be indicted or arrested. The Georgia D.A. will make a formal announcement on Monday.

Could still face league discipline, and it'd be no surprise if the victim sues him. Not to mention, regardless of legal finding, the mere fact of this incident makes his other lawsuit a bit tougher to win.

Personal opinion: I think he's guilty in both cases. Ben's a bad combination of moron and a$$hole. That kind has a tendency to think the rules don't apply to them.

Athletes get away with too much, if any average citizen even remotely assaulted a woman sexually they'd get a automatic 30 days and a fine. He has gotten away with it twice which eventually leads to worse situations. I believe he gets a kick out of it and its going to cause him to go too far and actually rape someone and possibly kill them, then what they're gonna get a fine and a slap on the wrist plus 30 days in jail and set free. Look at Dante Stallworth that's the prime example.

sounds like enough for a suspension to me. idk how long, but if he gets of w/ no punishment from the league, i dont think that will sit well.

Damn ....it must be nice to be Rich, famous, and white.

lol Gilbert Arenas is getting off pretty light. If I recall, Vick could have gotten much worse too.

Celebrity status as a professional athlete has more to do with it than race. But it doesn't hurt that he's a superbowl winning QB of one of the most popular franchises.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
