Schefter: Steelers Contacting Teams to Trade Big Ben for Top 10 pick
http://twitter.com/adam_schefter
Pittsburgh has begun contacting teams to trade Ben Roethlisberger for a top 10 pick. At least one team considering it. Story far from done. |

I think adding Roethlisberger, Berry, Thomas Jones, a few OL and a year of progression, familiarity and maturity and an upgrade in the coaching staff would spell all sorts of win for this offseason!
Pipe dream... but if we offered all that (Cassel, 36, 2011 1st, 2011 3rd) for Roethlisberger it might be rather enticing to Pittsburgh. |

Notorious, I get that. But in some cases, the distractions outweigh on field performance.

In a heartbeat.
I think Ben is guilty of being an absolute ****stick. A completely irresponsible, overgrown fratboy gorilla. I don't actually think he raped the girl. A) He is an NFL QB. All he'd need to do is find another groupy. Did he try to nail a drunk girl? Yup, but that's hardly a select club. B) A rape kit would've shown some pretty serious evidence of it if he actually assaulted the girl. So the question for me isn't "Can I have a rapist at QB?" it's, "Can I have a complete douchenozzle and misogynist at QB?" Uh...yeah, I can live with that.

Doesn't mean I think he's walking around and raping them against their will... Sorry, I don't trust 20 year old club rats with $$$ in their eyes. |

Well Hootie, I don't.
I have a very close friend in Vegas who not only is involved in the club scene but whose wife worked at Harrah's for a decade that's told me the guy is VERY dirty. Only you would give up Cassel, and 2011 first and third round picks for a guy that will miss six games or more next year. Those 2011 picks would most likely be top ten. Posted via Mobile Device |

lets take the exact same scenario minus the fancy security guards and replace Mr. Roethlisberger with me...a 24 year old drunk asshole who finds demeaning young girls to be kind of a sport.
If I hooked up with that drunk ass girl in the bathroom, I guarantee it wouldn't have been against her will...and she and her friends would have known that. (Because I'm a normal person and have no desire to rape someone and then live in fear that I'll end up going to prison for it and in turn end up being raped by big, strong, African American men...) However, I'm 24 and have zero commas in my bank account...so her friends would have been like..."god damnit Lacey you're an idiot stop being such a slut!" and they would have gone club ratting at the next spot, and then the next spot, and then the next spot...like they do every weekend. Instead she hooked up with a rich QB and they all hear the stories on the news and they're like...cha ching! |

You're right... I'd give up those picks in a SECOND...for a 28 year old franchise Super Bowl winning NFL QB...and you know what? I'd give up a hell of a lot more as well...this is the ultimate buy low situation and if they really jumped on Cassel, 36, 2011 1st and 2011 3rd for Roethlisberger and it allowed us to still draft Berry and keep our other picks this year... Hell yeah I'd mortgage a potential top 10 pick in 2011 for a guy who would be UNTOUCHABLE FOR 10 TOP 10 PICKS if he didn't have such ridiculous character concern... and in all honesty...if I could do a futures bet on whether Roethlisberger ever gets in any significant trouble EVER again during his NFL career...I'd put my $$$ on NO. |

I'm very close friends with someone who went to high school with him.
I'll report back what I find out.

I'm sorry Mr. McCloud...I know you have had your party history... But perhaps you should trust someone who has spent the last 3 years partying with some of the most insanely hot, insanely slutty club rats in the nation... Seriously... Take a road trip to Illinois State University Campus...ISU (I Screwed Up)...4:1 girl to guy ratio...where every girl is stupid, and every girl wants to become a teacher or a nurse...and every girl wants to get pounded by any guy with a hint of status..."oh he ****ed that girl who is slightly cuter than me?!?!? Well I'll show him!" Seriously... I'm never going to take the underage 20 year old club rats word over...anyones. |
