Big Ben's Legal Woes

I'm really tired so this is gonna be short and sweet.

My gut instinct on this Big Ben situation is that his accuser, Andrea McNulty, is full of it.

My first clue on this matter is that she did not file a Criminal complaint, choosing instead to go straight to a civil case where the decision does not have to be unanimous to be awarded damages.

Second clue is that if this happened over a year ago, why aren't we hearing about it until now? Could it be that Ben would be under stronger media scrutiny due to the fact the season is about to start? Might be easier for her to get him to settle out of court just to make the issue go away.

If Ben is proven to have done this despicable act, then I will join in the expected chorus of haters to condemn it. But again, Ben cares too much about his image to ever think about doing this kind of thing, and he sounded very convincing in his prepared statement to the media.

When will these football players learn to not put themselves in a situation that could remotely come back to bite them in the ass? Whether it be guns, drugs, dogfighting, sexual assault, strip clubs. You name it.

Oh well. I'd write more but I'm falling asleep.

Happy Friday!
