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.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
