Because of the way things unfolded as evidence was released the first time Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was accused of sexual assault, I've been holding back on expressing an opinion on the latest similar accusations, which stem from an incident that allegedly took place in Milledgeville, Georgia. As things unfolded the first time, the evidence seemed to suggest the supposed victim had an agenda, so I'm keeping an open mind toward both parties until the facts come out in this case. There is one conclusion, however, that I have come to grips with.
Big Ben seems to be a 40-watt bulb in a 100-watt world.
Assuming he is completely innocent of these latest accusations (which is a big assumption at this time), he should realize that he is a target for those who are seeking an easy payday and should avoid situations that might again put him in that position. Apparently, though, he didn't learn much from the first incident.
If, however, he is anything less than innocent of these charges (which is also a huge assumption until the facts come out) then he is something much, much worse than a little on the dense side.
