I remember that.

Well, some of that. I always recalled the "confusing D" part. I did not recall the, most important, class act part. Thanks for posting.

Of, wait. Most on this board are silent about that. I wonder why.


To be fair, Ben's accuser's didn't wait 30 years. LOL

But still...........he ain't been charged or convicted. My personal take based on the actions of his accusers? They both regretted fricking him after the fact. Especially drunk off her arse accuser #2 who describes it as the "bodyguard led her to his room" which is a fancy way of saying, "I went to Ben's room after getting drunk with him".

I remember being at Memorial Stadium when Terry Bradshaw played in the Grantland Rice Bowl in 1969. Losing effort but he threw for 299 yards. Went with my future Father in Law because we heard what an arm he had. All game we waited for the bomb. Finally, towards the end he just near threw it out of the stadium. Very impressed as a young kid.

Are you under the impression that you just made some sort of point?

Cool story. Your Karate teacher "still did it" doesn't mean all accusations are true.

Just pointing out your flawed logic defending rapist.

You do know that rape is the most under reported crime and 99% of rapist are NEVER convicted.

So you pointing out that Big Ben was NEVER convicted is a dumb argument. But you fail to mentioned he settled the Lake Tahoe lawsuit where he was accused of rape...before the multiple Georgia incidents.

That was early on in his career. He has cleaned up his act in the last decade

You don’t know what you are talking about. I know for a fact he has cleaned up his life, has settled down, has found Jesus Christ, and is a family man now. A family member of mine is very close to Ben’s mother

Sounds like how Jeffery Dalhmer was described in prison.

Can't think of a bigger bullshite excuse about terrible people than they have "found Jesus."

Jesus F-ing Christ! The found Jesus excuse is the worst.

I had a friend sober up and "find Jesus." He died of an over dose last year.
