Nonsense! Don't run away with idea that getting to have *** with someone like Ben Roethlisberger. To most of his Groupies, being able to have something with their famous star might be honorable. Yet, things aren't always what they seem. This sarcastic saying drew blood.

Take a look back at the story of 2008. Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger ***** a woman at a Lake Tahoe hotel-casino a year ago. But after hearing her complaint dismissed as "overreacting" and fearing for her job, the victim chose mum. Now she has stood up for her rights.

I don't know whether the victim is ready to seize the opportunity to make a final killing under color of being *****. At the time, she didn't go to police. She didn't reveal it to anyone. Just as she said, if the scandal is oozed out, she would be dismissed. She could hunt for another job if she is fired, anyways. At least, I think that it's easy to get an easy job. I assume her intentions are questionable?

Roethlisberger lawyer David Cornwell issued a statement earlier this week that the quarterback has "never sexually assaulted anyone." He said timing of the lawsuit and absence of a criminal complaint proves his innocence.

The lawsuit seeks a minimum of $440,000 in damages from the quarterback, at least $50,000 in damages from eight officials and an unspecified amount of punitive damages "sufficient to deter" Roethlisberger and the others "from engaging in such conduct in the future."

Everything must make full investigations previously to getting a conclusion. Facts are not clear, so it's premature to comment on which one is right. Facts are known only to the two parties. We will be watching the case closely.

The Pittsburg Steelers won their 6th Super Bowl title and 2nd in 4 years in 2008 by defeating the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 in a heartstopping classic. Ben Roethlisberger rebounded from his poor showing a couple years earlier against Seattle by completing 21-30 passes for 256 yards and the game winning TD to Santonio Holmes with just seconds left. Although the Steelers capped their impressive season by winning the Super Bowl they were an inconsistent bunch all year long in terms of fantasy performance. With pretty much the entire team returning this year will the Steelers offer fantasy owners more week to week options heading into 2009? I examine that now.

As good as the ultimate result was for Roethlisberger and the Steelers last year the QB proved to be a nightmare for owners last year with his inconsistent play. Roethlisberger finished2008 with 3314 passing yards along with 17 TD's and 15 Int's for a rating of 80.2. Not exactly the type of numbers you are looking for out of your number 1 QB. The bottom line is that Pittsburg is, was, and will always be a power running team and quite frankly when Ben is asked to throw a lot he usually gets himself into trouble. Ben is a very good QB just not a good fantasy QB. He possesses great leadership skills and has his statistical moments but do not trust him with your fantasy team because you will be greatly disappointed. Ben actually went in the 3rd round in my draft last summer and the owner who selected him won 2 games all year. Owners seem to be getting the point as Roethlisberger has been going around the 9th-10th rounds in the mock drafts I have been participating in. Treat him as a serviceable number 2 options heading into 2009 but nothing more than that. There are far better options.

When successful the meat and potatoes of the Steeler offense lies with the running game. Last year the team's backfield was hit with numerous injuries leaving Head Coach Mike Tomlin painfully thin at the position. Once again Willie Parker failed to make it through the entire season missing 5 games and finishing the season with 791 yards and 5 TD's. Parker has only played 16 games once in his career and he will turn 29 about halfway through the season. When healthy Parker is definitely a number 1 option at RB but when is he ever healthy? Furthermore, the Steelers will certainly be looking for 2nd year back Rashard Mendenhall to make much more of an impact in his sophomore season after playing in only 4 games as a rookie. The Steelers are extremely high on Mendenhall who is built more in the mode of what a typical Pittsburg back usually looks like. At 5-10 225 Mendenhall is a power runner who will inevitably steal short yardage and goal line carries from Parker who has never really been a TD machine to begin with. With both Parker and Mendenhall both out of commission the Steelers emergency plan actually stepped in and played fairly well. Mewelde Moore rushed for 589 yards and 5 TD's down the stretch run while also chipping in with 320 yards receiving and another score. The ex Minnesota Vikings castoff proved more than capable of holding the fort down while Parker was readying himself for the playoffs. In terms of fantasy potential I like Mendenhall the most out of all the Steelers RB's for the upcoming season. It will be a miracle if Parker stays healthy the entire year and even if he does Mendehall will be the goal line back at the very least. That being said treat Parker as a low end number 3 fantasy RB heading into the season. Mendenhall is far more interesting because if (when) Parker goes down he will have a real opportunity to become a stud due to his talents and the system he plays in. Mendenhall has been going between the 8th-10th rounds in the mock drafts I have been doing and spending a late round selection on him could prove to be a treasure for you as the season goes on. With Mendenhall back in the fold Moore's value goes down dramatically and he has typically not been drafted in these preliminary mock drafts.

Similarly to Roethlisberger the Steelers receiving corps has it's moments but in my estimation provides fantasy owners with nothing more than stop gap/match-up options on a very limited basis. Although showing definite signs of slowing down Hines Ward continues to be the Steelers number 1 option through the air. Ward remains a cagey veteran who is almost as well known for his blocking skills as he is at catching the ball. Ward had a really nice '08 statistically accounting for 82 catches for 1047 yards and 7 TD's. The 1047 yards represents his best yardage total since he went for 1163 in 2003. Ward will continue to be the receiver that Roethlisberger will look for when he is in a pinch or when the Steelers need a clutch catch. After you grab your first 3 receivers Ward is a nice option for you to have on your bench who is worthy of playing time depending upon who Pittsburg is playing. Super Bowl hero Holmes will be the Steelers number 2 option come opening day. Holmes caught 55 balls for 821 yards and 5 TD's in 2008 and with Nate Washington leaving for Tennessee should see more balls thrown his way. Holmes has much more big play ability than Ward does at this stage of their careers and thus Holmes is more valuable in fantasy terms especially if your league awards bonuses for long TD's as mine does. Treat Holmes as a nice number 3 WR or Flex option come draft day this August.   The only other Steeler receiver that is worth a look is 2nd year pro Limas Sweed.  Sweed had a rather forgettable rookie campaign catching only 6 balls for 64 yards and failed to reach the end zone.  Pittsburg has big plans for Sweed and he is the big target the team has been yearning for since the departure of Plaxico Burress.  Sweed has some real sleeper potential heading into '09 and is worthy of a late round pick.  If he happens to not get drafted in your league be sure to snag him off the waiver wire if you get a chance and let the chips fall where they may.  Keep and eye on him.  TE Heath Miller is really not a number 1 option and although at times Ben will look for him in the Red Zone he is not really utilized enough to be anything more than a backup used only in emergency purposes.

The Steelers DST is always a solid unit and if you play in a league like mine that rewards DST's with enormous point totals that can  greatly assist your chances of winning a championship.  I know full well what a good DST can do as I rode the Eagles DST to a title last year.  With Troy Polamalu and James Harrison continuing to anchor down the defence treat the Steelers DST as an elite unit and one of the top 3 DST's on the board this summer. Well, that is it for the champs.  Next up: The Cincinnati Bengals.

Indianapolis Colts Unstoppable

Chuck Berkley asked:


What made this game so interesting to watch, was the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers are the type of team that scores big time on the 1st quarter, keeps it simple and safe on 2nd and 3rd, but comes back to settle the scores on the 4th.

I was putting my expectations on Pittsburgh, as that terrible interception just 3 minutes before conclusion left a bitter taste on the Colts front line and there was the fact as well that Indianapolis has been struggling 40 years in Steelers ground, so the stat favored my decision. As I learned from this game, the game is not over until the last second.

Colts quarterback Peyton Manning gave Roethlisberger a good reason to say “not over till the fat lady sings” when at the end, the coin tossed in favor of the Colts. The 240 yards Manning threw during game time, proved once more, that even a strong and wall-built team such as the Steelers is vulnerable to fall down under pressure. And what can we say about Manning, who in the past 3 games has achieved two TD passes-in on each; and although, many fans feel uncomfortable with Manning’s full-of-surprises style, this time it worked perfectly.

The strange situation here is the fact, that it’s becoming a Mannings tend to break the Steelers faith when they play in Pittsburgh; Eli did it last October the 26th at the end of the 4th, with a final score of 21-14 Giants favored and of course Peyton this past Sunday.

Everybody knew the game was over for the Steelers when reaching the end of the last quarter, those last seconds were telling a story for the team. In extreme anxiety Roethlisberger's threw into the end zone sightless and was crushed by the defense; a very bad move because that interception went straight to Melvin Bullitts’ hands. The interception not only outplayed Roethlisberger to loose the game for his team, but it was his 3rd interception of the game… not looking to sweet for Roethlisberger at the moment, especially with the first two interceptions, which cost the squad 14 points in total.

Roethlisberger has 8 interceptions in 8 weeks, which in fact is not a bad stat for a QB, but making those errors during the final minutes of game time is definitely unforgivable.

Let’s look at some history and stats for a moment; in Pittsburgh the Colts are 2-12, making the last win for Indy back in 1968 and the first time after 12 attempts this 2008. The good news for the Steelers is that in the AFC this 2008, they are 5-1 on the board.

Now, the Manning-led team is happy and the Steelers are at practice reviewing the game video over and over again, perhaps wondering how come the 40 year nightmare could finally end for the Colts.

Two non marquees team Baltimore and Cardinals were clashed on Feb1. Before this, people were turning out to draw a conclusion that who would be winner and what would be football results? In the final-four match in the NFL play offs, only Pittsburgh Steelers is able to get national following.  Anyhow it was expecting that there would be not gigantic fight between New England Patriots and New York Giants. And you know why? I think it revealed when match results were wide open though confrontations of Cardinals vs. Ravens.

Last time Arizona Cardinals came with flying colors of winning title of NFC Championship 32-25 over Eagles, which was indeed a first super bowl for miserable cardinals- long awaited suffered team who had won NFL championship against Philadelphia Eagles in 1947. It is sad fact that as no other good professional player’s sports club in Chicago has gone longer for title fight as the Cardinals has done. Football live scores present Cardinals as long-suffering team that needs to make new implementation to win NFL championship title. Arizona would be going to play against Pittsburgh Steelers who has defeated Baltimore Ravens 23-14 last time at Steel city. Super Bowl were expecting pit pass-happy and flashy offense of the Cardinals who has dominated the best Eagles in NFC championship and they also showed defensive mode against Steelers who were considered no 1 defensive team in all NFL tournament.

In the match Eagles/Cardinals, held under closed dome roof in comfy Arizona, converted into terrific contest nothing sure about winning team until two minutes left when Eagles had dominated over their opposition.  The moment was arrived when these two strong poles are on war field, but excitements and suspense more arise from supporters’ side. At the ground, it felt that everyone was counting down whenever the Steelers moved against the Cardinals for Super Bowl XLIII. There was indeed a great victory for Steelers who were expecting as winner champion for their fans. So Steelers did not disappoint their fans who came out with gold and black towels clogged south side streets on Sunday night, celebrating their team winning championship of holding unprecedented sixth Super Bowl title.

Revelers streamed with full joy after the Steelers sealed their 27-23 glorious victory against Cardinals in Tampa. All the area is sounded with excited broke out of fans with following words, “we are champions”. In that moments yellow confetti whirled in air and people released golden and black balloons. Almost after the end of game, super bowl championship paraphernalia were sold in the streets. It was a great match that really made people full of fun and surprised that remained till the last moments of match.
