I was actually shocked when this story came out. Darren actually graduated from my high school a year before me, bought his parents a home down the street from my parent's place and was just seem as this upstanding person in the community.

 

I had never heard of any incidents during his playing days in high school, college, pros, etc.  Retirement must have popped a loose screw.  If this is true, I hope he is punished because it is absolutely disgusting.

 

You think you know somebody....

So wait...How come he's not given the benefit of the doubt like Ben was? Where is the "innocent till proven guilty" crowd? Oh wait...wrong society I'm dealing with...SMH

Ben was a lil different situation and people called for his ass. Using a race card here is dumb.

Oh, I think Roethlisberger did it.

 

Regardless, there was an entire SI cover story about how big an a--hole he was, so it's pretty stupid to suggest he got off easy.  Heck, he still gets flak for it (and deserves it).

 

But to be clear, the reason he got off easy was because none of his accusers ever wound up pressing charges.  They knew what kind of legal team Roethlisberger could afford.

 

Darren Sharper doesn't exactly make Roethlisberger money.  And while I'm sure he can afford a good legal team, he's facing seven accusations at once Roethlisberger only faced two, and they weren't concurrent.

Hahahaha sharper has allegedly raped 7 women! 7! No matter what race you are, that poo is inexcusable. Don't make a race issue out of something that is far from it.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
