Its got to be the Bills or the Raiders. Either way, i have to say that I relish the thought of Rothlisberger languishing in Oakland or Buffalo for the rest of his "prime." If he goes to either city, he'll be so damaged by the time his contract expires that his career will be effectively over.

That would be incredible...I live in Pittsburgh and a few friends of mine had the 'pleasure' of meeting Big Ben a few years ago. He was with Charlie Batch and Randle El's brother and he (ben) was the biggest douchebag in the world according to my friends. It's good to see that the world sees what a piece of crap he is.

Every story that i have ever heard about this guy is that he is a first class d-bag. Nice to see even two super bowl rings can't wash that off.

On the douche bag note. Ben owns part of a restaurant here in Mount Pleasant, SC. A friend on mine's ex works there. Ben was randomly texting every girl who worked at this establishment. When one of the girls finally responded to him, the dude texted her about 55 times in 24 hours.

not normal behavior for anyone. I am so surprised to see an NFL QB have no game when it comes to women. What a tool.

:smashfreahow is no many bringing up the fact that Big Ben leaving Pitt. is FREAKING CRAZY NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your talking about a 2 time super bowl winning QB who hasn't been arrested for anything and they are just going to ship him off .. this is crazy news and makes McNabb look like small potatoes .. i'm just trying to digest this whole ordeal, I understand that Big Ben has some major baggage and has def made some really poor choices but this is madness ..

He sounds like a real-life Don Juan

Every day that passes by, makes me wish the worst for him. If the Steelers are really trying to trade him they know more to the story than we do. They have the story from the teammates and the bodygaurds that will eventaully comeout. The Steelers are asking for a top 10 pick but Im sure they will settle for less. Rapistburger just screwed himself in the bumhole.

It was just reported on by Adam Schefter on ESPN that the Steelers are now calling other teams around the league to try and move him. I will be interested to see what kind of compensation they end up bringing in for him.

What's the name of the restaurant? I visit Mt. Pleasant somewhat often, my sister owns a condo in Montclair across from the Mt. Pleasant town center. Love me some Charleston & that area!

I certainly wouldn't go to a restaurant because a Pitt. player owns it, don't know if I'd boycott it because Ben is part owner either, but would like to know the name & location please.

Back on topic, I am surprised that people are this upset about Big Ben. Not saying he doesn't deserve some public scrutiny, I just don't think its enough to warrant trading him, unless there was more of a discipline issue w/the team that's not reported. I think Pitt. is just trying to scare him, as a PItt. reporter said last night.

King Street Grill. It is right off hungry neck Blvd. The new road they built recently that travels from the Georgetownn exit off I526 and goes to the IOP connector. I love Chuck Town as well, but we are headed back to the Northern Virginai area.
