Ben Roethlisberger = moron

Well, I’m back. I had some flooding in November and family matters since then but things are back on track. For me anyway. Ben Roethlisberger has managed to single handedly derail the storied Steelers franchise. This is of course an overstatement. The Steelers are much bigger than any one man. Or should I say man-child. This immature idiot needs full time protection, from himself. He seems intent on self destructive idiocy. I cannot begin to imagine why he puts himself in situations like this. Is it immaturity or stupidity? I guess it just does not matter. He has proven he cannot be trusted to make good decisions. If Dan and Art Rooney decide to salvage this guy they need to stipulate around the clock baby sitters.

All of this would assume he actually does not get criminally charged. All bets are off in that case. I am not alone in wondering if he actually did this. Many of us tried to give him the benefit of the doubt in the Reno incident. This case makes it much tougher. A 28 year old man-child travels a substantial distance to get to a club in a small college town? It just sounds like he was up to no good. I can only imagine what went on in the rumored ‘come to Jesus’ meeting between Ben and the Rooneys. Oh to be a fly on the wall.

On the bright side, the return of Randal El was a welcome surprise. I hated to see him leave and remember how classy he was on his way out. Very nice to see him return.
