Weighing in on Erin Andrews, Ben's Lawsuit and ESPN proving it leads nothing.

(This could get ugly)
I'll start with Erin Andrews-the sideline princess, for those of you who are unawhere or female, was in a 6 second nude video. A pervert used some wiring system to video tape her. I'll let you guys do your own sleuthing for now, as I don't want to step on this weekends mailbag(PLUG!).
Last night, as I was making one last sweep of the intrawebs I stumbled half awake upon this message on Twitter: ''Ben Roethlisberger accused of sexual assualt.'' My reaction-
HOLY-FUCKING-SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm woken up immediately, my 1st thought, and im proud of this part -was that a rich, popular professional athlete POSSIBLY took advantage of an innocent woman. It was the same reaction I had when I heard about Kobe Bryant's legal issue a few years back. My 2nd reaction, well.....

SUSPEND THIS MOTHER-FUCKER!

FUCK THE STEELERS!

GO RAVENS!

WOOOOOOOOO!

In other words, these things are touchy legal issues, with many large words I don't understand. http://profootballtalk.com is all over this one, check out the latest there.

Now this story is not just blog rumors, NBC now owns PFT, which is a pretty credible source. The AP has picked up the story. This is a legitimate news story. Yet one once poweful source of breaking news is mum on the issue.......ESPN. Why? Well there are many theories, the 1st 2 sources to report this story are noted ESPN enemies(Deadspin and PFT). Ben Roethlisberger is an ESPN favorite. ESPN could be still trying to make a story out of the horrible Steve McNair murder-suicide,(HEY GUYS DID YOU KNOW HE WAS DRUNK WHEN HE WAS LYING ON THE COUCH!) and just didn't have time to cover it. The real answer? I don't know. But the fact that as of this post(a lil after 7pm eastern time) ESPN has NOTHING(!) on their website or TV programming. ESPN......U SUCK!
