		<description><![CDATA[RavenMaven...For the FINAL time &amp; I&#039;ll go slow...the Steelers &amp; PurpleBrownies met 3 times this past season, @PIT, @BAL &amp; in the AFC title game.  The results were the same in ALL 3, the BETTER team won, then the BETTER team went on to become the BEST team (also making them the BEST team in the NFL, as we now know it (since the AFL/NFL merger), whether you measure it by World Championships, Hall-of Famers, games WON or overall class, the FACTS are the facts!  So, you see, in an overall sense it really is an ass-whuppin, since the Steelers owned the PurpleBrownies in 08/09 &amp; the sad part for you is that your MURDERING leader knew it as well, since he didn&#039;t have the balls to face the media after the final blow was delivered, cause he realized that he had no answer for the hurt!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ravens Fan says:
July 23, 2009 4:37 PM
To all you Squeelers fans, the D-Players on the Ravens, Browns, and Bengals, will be heard screaming &quot;RAPIST&quot; on every play this year. LOVE IT.
--------------------------------------
Well, other teams tried it by screaming &quot;MURDERER&quot; at your boy Ray-Ray, didn&#039;t seem to have much of an effect on him.
I see all you haters are wetting yourself over this little passion play -- let me clue you in on the little diff here.
Ray was around a proven crime at the time it happened -- Ben is accused of an event that hasn&#039;t even been proved ever to have happened.
Except of course in the court of public morons.
My own guess is maybe Ben was involved with this woman in the past, maybe they even did the silk-sheet tango, who knows -- probably he moved on and she couldn&#039;t. But here&#039;s the kicker, haters.
If that is the case, all Ben has to do is prove a prior relationship, and BOOM! Down she goes, caught in a lie, since she&#039;s claiming he was some guy she met when she had to go and fix his TV set. I&#039;m guessing this will happen before too long.
Then guess what? I&#039;m taking names of all punks here who yukked it up -- you will be reminded forever on this site how stupidly wrong you were (got it, ppdoc?) Forget talking football -- we&#039;ll be talking your stupidity forever.
Oh and another thing smart guys -- forget the post Super Bowl slackoff, the Steelers now have a nice chip on their shoulders going into the &#039;09 season. Get another ready Lombardi trophy ready boys, oh yeah! What you haters don&#039;t realize is that this is the WORST thing that could&#039;ve happened to you -- get ready to have your team&#039;s lights punched out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RavenEatDick-iac...Prevent defense?  With a 3 point lead???  Surely you can&#039;t expect anyone to take your posts seriously now...do they let you out often, or just to spew your propaganda?  Of which you no doubt are so proud, regarless of it&#039;s accuracy or it&#039;s basis in FACT...count &#039;em fool;  not 1, not 2, but 3 ass-whuppins for your PurpleBrownies &amp; their MURDERING leader &amp; ALL in the same season!  How sad it must be to have to, in effect,  ultimately root for the enemy.  Indeed that is exactly what you &amp; yours have no choice but to do.  Since your team packed up &amp; abandoned your open sewer of a city decades ago, leaving you all no choice but to become fans of your prior enemy, the Cleve Brownies.  Can&#039;t blame Arty &amp; Co. since they considered it an upgrade (albeit an awfully slight one) to relocate to your cesspool from the landfill that is the mistake by the lake...so go on &amp; root, root, root for your PurpleBrownies &amp; I&#039;ll keep backin&#039; the ONLY 6x SB Champs &amp;  lookin out the other window every time I roll down 95 past your little trailer park by the bay!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DickBurghGirl...
Nobody lives in the past like a steelers fan.
Give big Jen time he will be brought up on criminal charges....Funny how confident you are that Ben did nothing...but Ray is guilty.
You know it is Karma....always something with black and gold isnt it...one year a windshield face hit and now Rape! Get ready for your mediocre 8-8 season.
They only way your team wins is with intervention from Refs!!! Look at the SB in 2005! Keep convincing your pathetic existence that your stillers actually won that game!
You ever notice Big Jen has these great drives in the last minute??? Against prevent defenses?? You could QB against a prevent defense. So dont get too high on Rape-Boy when he could not read a defense to save his ass any other time during a game (even Tomlin saud that last year). So stop blaming your OL for the sacks and realize your QB has an IQ of 20.
Think about it...if the league tested the stillers regularly for steroids like they do other teams, your defense would be in the bottom half of the league. The only legitimate player you have is the Obsessive Compulsive Genuflector Polamalu...
Face it, the steelers are no powerhouse. You are the Ravens of 2000. You have a great defense (who unklike the 200 Ravens are driven by steroids) and an offense that just has to go out and not turn the ball over...in reality Ben cant even do that correctly..that is where the refs come in...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PurpleBrowniesManiac...On second thought, I&#039;m going back to 3 ASS-WHUPPINS, my reason being that even your MURDERING leader knew it was total domination by the Men Of Steel, since he wasn&#039;t man enough to even meet the media after the title game.  Surely you noticed his absence, and why would he meet the media, when there was no &quot;next game&quot; that season to whine about avenging &quot;when they come to our house&quot;.  Because the Steelers sent your PurpleBrownies home alone, on their way to SBXLIII.  BTW...don&#039;t call it karma, because it&#039;s night &amp; day fool...GrayRay was arrested &amp; faced criminal charges, which he bought his way out of, Ben has done neither!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RavensManiac....Sorry maybe this will make it easier for you to swallow...the Steelers OWNED your PurpleBrownies last season, what else would you call it when one division foe defeats another, home &amp; away, then again in the Conference title game?  As for the refs giving them game 2;  if memory serves, Ben drove his team 80+ yards in the final few minutes, against a defense that cried the entire week preceeding, that it was not getting enough attention for being as good or better than the true #1.  After navigating through your washed-up D like the Steelers did, do you really think your PurpleBrownies had any chance of winning the game had the Steelers sent it to overtime???  Now go ahead &amp; hold onto those 2 games (&amp; NOTHING MORE) from &#039;06 &amp; I&#039;ll focus on recent history...3-0 against your PurpleBrownies (&amp; an UNPRECEDENTED 6th SUPER BOWL TITLE) in the NFL&#039;s most recent campaign!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Men that rape women are only thinking of penetration to get off their jollies, the woman attached to that body part is of no consequence to them.
Ummmm...No...Rape is a violent crime...Rape is about power, and/or anger, rarely is it about sexual gratification.  Anyone who rapes anyone is usually doing so because they want to display dominance over the other party.  Do you really think prison rapes are occurring because the inmates are turned on by each other?  It is a display of power and dominance.]]></description>

I love how you assume Ben will have a meltdown if he is forced to testify. Does anyone really think this case will ever make it to court? One of two things will happen: I am sure either Ben or Harrah&#039;s will pay the bitch to shut up. Or James Harrison will kill her.]]></description>

&quot;I saw someone saying that he will call him RAPIST during a game.Do you have any idea how the guy will feel deep inside if he&#039;s not guilty ?&quot;
----------------------------------------------------
Thats funny. I&#039;m sure Big Ben and his relations have been called a lot worse during games. I don&#039;t personally know if it has caused him to cry in the locker room, but my money is on no.

Thats funny. I&#8217;m sure Big Ben and his relations have been called a lot worse during games. I don&#8217;t personally know if it has caused him to cry in the locker room, but my money is on no.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[What&#039;s wrong with you people ? Im a Steelers fan and I would NEVER attack a player&#039;s dignity(not even Ray Lewis,Jamal or anyone else).
The player I hate the most in the league is Tom Brady and I swear that I wasnt happy he got injured last year.
This goes beyond football it&#039;s about real life and real humans.If Ben did rape this girl then I hope he gets what he deserves and I hope the Steelers will cut him.
Although if the girl is planning this thing it is just plain sick.Dignity is the only thing you have in life and it&#039;s not because you&#039;re a football player that earns a lot of money that this is different.
But come on,I saw someone saying that he will call him RAPIST during a game.Do you have any idea how the guy will feel deep inside if he&#039;s not guilty ?
Sometimes I just think humans are pathetic it makes me sick to my stomach.
No football rivalries or anything is an explanation to do such things.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So many are trying to make her out to be a nutcase with not even the remote possibility of her being a victim of rape.  Well, I got news for you.  Nutcases get raped too.  And not so attractive women, fat ones, short ones, women of every background and race, naive ones, smart ones, young ones, and older women.  But somehow not Andrea.  Yes, she has a name, Andrea.
Men that rape women are only thinking of penetration to get off their jollies, the woman attached to that body part is of no consequence to them.  So for those who keep bringing up her weight, lack of physical beauty, or carrying on an internet romance, think again.  Some women sit on their rape experience for years and this is why there is no statue of limitation on rape.  Say something and I will kill you.  Victims do listen.  She is from Canada.  How long has she been here?  How well read is she on U.S. laws regarding rape and that reporting to Harrah&#039;s security is not it.  Did she feel gratitude towards her Visa and decided not to rock the boat, especially involving a celebrity in a celebrity infested land.
For Ben&#039;s sake, I hope this is not true.  But if it is, Andrea is just one of many women who dealt with this situation in the not so ideal way.  If she went to Harrah&#039;s and they blew her off, they should be made to pay as suggested by someone.
And why are people making a big deal about the amount she is asking for.  This is to pay for incidental cost of the rape as I understand it.    What about punitive damages beyond the half a million she is asking.  This is one of the reasons I am inclined to believe that 1) something happened and 2) it was not consentual.  Ben&#039;s statement sold me.]]></description>
