I want to hear everyone crticize Ben just like you all did Kobe. Lets all say that Ben is guilty and ban him from ever having an endorsement.

That's what I thought.

First of all--He was NOT convicted of rape! It is an alleged incident! Also, funny how the girl now wants to "settle" out of court!! If I was raped...hell, if any woman was raped, there is NO WAY we would want to "settle" out of court. We would want justice served. This is a lame attempt at trying to extort money from BR!!

AND she only went after BR when her employer refused to pay out.

Nothing to criticize him about... except having poor judgment and bad taste. And no one lost endorsements for that!

I think the OP is trying to point out that, while Kobe was a scum bag and cheated on his wife, he was found guilty in the court of public opinion, while Big Ben has been left alone for the most part.

Maybe that's simply because "Kobe was a scum bag and cheated on his wife", and Ben isn't.

Not a scum bag... just a young guy.
Not married... so no disrespecting wife & vows.

He should be left alone...

Well unless your married to Kobe is it really your problem? No.

Just because you have an affair doesn't mean your a rapist.

Big Ben looked pretty good last night. If the Titans blitzed, he found a way to step up/ get away and dump the ball off. If they did not blitz, he had all day and could wait on a crossing pattern. Seemed sort of unstoppable at times.

Hating the Steelers lately... but have to admit I was impressed w/ his play last night. He is a tough bastard as well.

As for the rape? I will leave that for the Great Debates Thread. ;-)
