Ben engaged?

Re: Ben engaged?

Don't get me wrong, I think Ben was treated like a dog (no pun intended) for somethign that he was never charged with. But fair or not, we are in the guilty until proven innocent media. Ben has to realize this isn't 1972 and he can't get away with wink wink turn the other way anymore. he needs to grow up, and everything leads to the fact that he has done exactly that, and I couldn't be prouder of the guy. I still to this day would rather have this guy leadign my team than any other QB who is playing this game. Yes, even moreso than Brady.

Re: Ben engaged?

Ben didn't get the same treatment but you won't admit it because you need to play victim.

You are right, Ben didn't get the same treatment as Vick. The UNCHARGED Ben got WORSE from the press, and from the NFL. He was also convicted in the court of public opinion because of Goodell and the selective media reporting.

How many 100's of millions did Ben lose? When was Ben cut from the Steelers?

He shouldn't have been cut, because he was never charged. Had he been charged? He would have been cut, just like Vick was.

If we win the AFC this all comes back into play. I guarantee that FOX will have a TV interview with either McNulty or Miss DTF on their Super Bowl pre-game show.

Ben is the victim here.

Vick's not. He's a convicted felon ex-con.

I agree with everything you wrote up to he needs to grow up. Hell, he's a 27 year old guy who wanted to get laid. He even turned down an offer to go back to the sorority house. I don't think he had to "grow up:. I think he had to realize who he is, what that means, and how to handle it all. If that's growing up, then so be it. But I don't think he had to grow up from a "woman hater" aspect.

And I would want no other QB either.

That would never happen due to on-going cases and/or settlements. But it will be a media circus and a lot of ill press about Ben.

I'm not going to add fuel either way to the Ben vs. Vick controversy,
but I will say this:

I don't want to hear any whining if I post a crotch shot of
some NFL stud in my sig line...

Talk about a conversation killer.

and how many of these posters with half naked women in their sig bashed Ben over all of his false accusations?
