He was at a college nightclub in not that great of an area.He puts himself into questionable situations and his decision making seems a little poor.Personally he just looks arrogant to me but whatever it makes no difference he is a good QB and might not be that great of a person.

You can't be so quick to say he is guilty.

He owns a lakehouse near Milledgeville (which isn't a bad area or anything, it's a college town in Tennessee), and was out on the town that night, after just having his birthday. I don't see anything "questionable" with that, or the town.

I can because it is my opinion.He never seemed like that great of a guy to me.Its one of those things where you see someone or something and think he looks like a jerk or that looks terrible.

I was thinking it was in Atlanta for some reason.Why would he go to a college bar though?I'm not saying he is a terrible person it just that he seems to get himself into these situation which are questionable.

It wasn't a college bar, but it was a nightclub that college students frequented. I'm assuming there aren't many nightclubs in Milledgeville, so I'm not sure that he had much of a choice on where to go. :lol:

It is your opinion that he is guilty? How is that fair? You don't even know the guy. :shrug:

He was in a nightclub, like any other young person would be at. And being accused twice doesn't mean anything when the first accusation wasn't even true.

Ben is what 28? Not that young, not compared to collage kids around what 20, 21?

This happened in Milledgeville, Ga. and It is questionable, he's being accused of sixual assault, if this was just a normal person we would never just assume that the girl was lying, this girl could be telling the truth. There could be alot of reason that the girl would lie, but what if she was rapped? You can't just jump to conclusion either way. Either way Ben keeps putting himself in these situations. He need to protect him self better, it may not be fair but sadly that what you got to do when your a well know person. Again I'll say he a 2 time Super Bowl champ, i don't think he should have too much of a problem finding a women the problem is finding a good one which is a bit harder to find at a night club.

So what, a 28 year old is ancient? I better inform my sister, poor gal. :P

And nobody is assuming that the girl is lying (or at least nobody who has posted), but the allegation is being questioned since another woman just recently made up a sixual assault incident in an attempt to get money out of Roethlisberger. If this were to happen to a normal fellow I'd feel the same way.

Roy Williams has the potential to be great, and was great while in Detroit.


I'd say he was very good, but short of great. You need to actually win games to be great.

Here's hoping for more than 2 wins next year.

I usually pull for them to win, since I can't imagine how it is to be fan. I was only 1 when the Colts went 1-15, so I have no idea. But they showed promise in that game against Cleveland.

49ers at heart, Ravens by association (also, Flacco went to my University. BALLIN'!).

Being in Delaware, I don't get to watch a lot of football teams I like. The 49ers never come on unless they face an east coast team and the Ravens are too up-and-down for me to comfortably watch them (way too many last second let downs last season). I'm hoping that with the addition of Anquan Boldin to the Ravens will open up Mason deep and Heap short and get our passing game going. We've already effectively established our running game, how we just need Flacco to get comfortable.

The 49ers just picked up David Carr (remember him? He was the Texans first QB) who is expected to back up Alex Smith. The 49ers haven't changed the offensive coordinator and, with two first round picks, have a good opportunity to beef up to O-line and secondary. With the Cardinals losing Boldin and Warner, if the 49ers can keep their act together, they have a shot at winning the division. I'm also really excited to see how well Crabtree does this year after an off season to practice.

The Colts are trying to get bigger at O-line... which is causing some people to worry here in Indy. If we can be a running force with Peyton Manning? I like that idea. Plus, we are going to have the best receiving core in the NFL (Wayne, Gar?on, Collie, Gonzalez, Clark).

But the prospect of a lockout in 2011 (which is the year the Super Bowl is supposed to be in Indy) is really pissing me off... :stare:

Seahawks, Bills and Panthers seems to be the teams interested in him right now. I'd say he'll be picked around the 4th round.
Whats been going on with the JETS? I haven't heard anything about them at all....

A lot of people say the Colts should pick him up... although, I am not too sure about that.

Jets signed Cromartie from the Chargers.

Well he was in a very bad system in Detroit and he was successful. He was a pro bowler in 2006. Had 1300 yds receiving and 7 tds. That is solid considering he had a Jon Kitna throwing to him and they finished with a 3-13 record. Roy Williams has potential. (Even though Jon Kitna is now on the Cowboy's roster, I don't exactly like him. He's not that great. He had moments of greatness for the Bengals but he made really poor decisions in Detroit. I'm hoping Dallas drafts Colt McCoy and release Kitna... he's just too old.)

I do admit he's not "great". If you start with that word you talking about Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin, Cris Carter, Randy Moss, etc., that is not where Roy sits.

Don't give up on him yet, if he works on his route running he can be good. Miles Austin runs the most crisp routes I've seen in a while and his cuts or smooth, I think that Dallas will be fine with Roy and Miles as their receivers because they can run the ball and they have Jason Witten.

Most of the mock drafts I've been looking at he doesn't go in the first round. Sam Bradford and Jimmy Clausen are projected as first round material.

Yea, they aren't usually accurate. But unless McCoy can really impress people at his pro days he won't be taken in the first round. He wasn't at the combine so he's a little behind. I've seen Bradford and Clausen projected over him but I think even Tebow will go before McCoy. There are so many possibilities and it's early in Free agency yet to really even be considering the draft really. It's just bit of wishful thinking on my part, I mean Colt McCoy taking over for Romo in a couple of years it would be that whole home town hero situation. Gets me a little excited. :)

Where have you been?They had one of the biggest acquisitions of the off=season.Cromartie has given them a huge boost in their already great D. They have also been rumored in getting a WR such as Brandon Marshall and getting rid of that bum Braylon Edwards.

I don't know, man. I've been following them since the early 90's have about 15 Jerseys since then, my room is decorated in the blue and silver, I own several bobble heads, have the entire 1995 roster in trading cards and have blankets everywhere. Its tough to beat me in Cowboys stuff. My girlfriend thinks I'm crazy. I'm just a devoted fan. I haven't missed a game in 5 years in which I've been to 3 in Green Bay (including the game where they won for the first time in Lambeau which was really fun!) in person and one in the new Cowboy Stadium. My girlfriend and I drove down to Texas from Wisconsin just to see the game on January 3rd against the ea-gals. That was a great time.
