Off-season Trades
posted by Sybil Vane
Even in the off-season, I can't help but think about football on Sundays. I think my allegiances are well-documented.
However.
Some lowlights:
And while I appreciate the sentiment, I guess, telling him he ought to "Grow up," doesn't really cut it. He didn't leave his fucking bike out in the rain.
A friend ruefully said to me the other day, "Well, at least it's not dogfighting." Good point, at least it isn't. Because you got to fucking PRISON for dogfighting. This was juts some lacerations on a vagina and a woman walking out of a skanky bathroom with tears on her face and walking immediately to a police car. To talk to an officer who didn't want to file charges because she was drunk. I mean, jesus, it's not like fucking DOGS got hurt.
Here's a fun game to play: what if Mike Vick had raped a girl in a bar bathroom in Milledgeville GA? No charges filed? It's like a perverse game of rock paper scissors, Privilege Edition. White man beats white woman, but white woman definitely beats black man.
I assume Roethlisberger gets a 2 or 3 game suspension. And I assume when that's up, they go right back to starting him. At which point I don't watch the games.
So, the upshot is I'm taking suggestions for a new AFC team to pull for this season. Ravens are out, all other suggestions will b considered. Please present your case in the comments.
However.
Some lowlights:
"And a friend of [the victim's], Nicole Biancofiore, claimed that a third woman was "taken away by a bodyguard of Ben's" when she tried to open the locked bathroom door."
"Mr. Roethlisberger is said to have exposed his genitals in the nightclub hallway, ordered a woman to be ejected from the club's VIP section and made "crude, sexual remarks" to his accuser."
"Hey, I need to talk to you guys," Sgt. Blash reportedly told Officer Barravecchio, the off-duty Coraopolis officer.
"We have a problem. This drunken bitch, drunk off her ass, is accusing Ben of rape," Officer Barravecchio said Sgt. Blash told him. "This pisses me off. Women can do this. It's[bull] but we've got to do this, we've got to do a report. This is BS. She's making [stuff] up."
"On the way back to his home in Reynolds Plantation, the quarterback called his lawyer."
