An imperfect man, but a great competitor on the football field. Thanks for all the memories Ben.

 

Good timing. I just shared that video with family and all the guys in my 28-years-and-counting fantasy football league...most of whom hail from Boston and Philly. Cue the "Rapistberger" posts.

 

The guy was most definitely flawed but today is about the career.

He should have been done when that garbage happened!

Why is this acceptable if you're a pro athlete?

 

Imagine someone celebrating a child molester but today is about what a great priest or teacher they were?

He murdered my mom, but wow could that guy make a mean martini.

 

There are no perfect men. But rapists are pieces of shite no matter what they do for a living.

I agree. I  lost a 17 year military career and a state job because of trash far less than what he did. I was found guilty because of what I did for a living. The NFL and the Steelers let him play. I take it as a slap to my face.

OK…but he wasn’t even charged. Can the guy at least be innocent until proven guilty? (No OJ comments, please.)

He settled out of court...aka paid her off on the one. Was suspended, aka slapped on the wrist by the NFL for the other.

In other words if you're rich like Michael Jackson you can molest children and pay for it to go away. Or if you're a pro athlete, politician or movie star in the states you can pretty much get away with anything.

 

If he was a black plumber he'd be doing life.

Ya, he's real innocent.

 

Would you let him date your daughter?

He settled even after a co-worked testified the accuser bragged about consensual sex with him.   That wasn't even a criminal case. It was civil (i.e. - this "happened" so pay me). And yes - if I had pro-athlete money I'd pay a little to make it go away, too. If I were a black plumber though there is no civil suit because...no deep pockets.

 

The criminal case was the one where no charges were filed. Totally shady and he should not have been at a college bar in the first place. Total conduct unbecoming an NFL QB...which is why he was suspended.

 

The guy was no angel - but I stop short of calling him a rapist. And no - would not date my daughter.

He was so vile he was on my short list of players I wouldn't allow on my fantasy team. I would rather be lose without him than win with him. And keep in my mind my fantasy Football league is a payout league.

Just another criminal making a living in the NFL.

I lost a state job a 17 year military career because I would not pay a slut to seduce her (i was found guity of indescent assault because my jobs were payed by the taxpayer.) It still burns after 21 years. And the Steelers and the NFL let him play.

The NFL letting him play is hardly a vote of innocence. The league is crawling with criminals.
