Roethlisberger Rape Allegation

Ben Roethlisberger is being accused of rape by a woman that worked at the casino in a Lake Tahoe resort he stayed in last summer. While, due to a seeming lack of evidence, I believe the case will be overlooked, I think it will be interesting to see if Roger Goodell handles this situation with the same haste he usually takes in other cases. I honestly don't think he will. Roethlisberger is a trophy boy for the NFL, and Goodell knows it. He'll just sweep this under the rug just like he did the Patriots cheating scandal in 2007.

lol... yeah it looks that way. I just think it will be interesting to see if Goodell addresses it or sweeps it under the rug like Matt Jones and Marvin Harrison.

I'm surprised this guy is still on the market? I'm mean sure he may not be the deep threat he once was but the guy is an excellent route runner and their are plenty of teams that could use him.

Yeah I've been pretty surprised to see that no one has taken him. A team like the Titans or the Bears could definitely use him day one.
