BerniesElbow Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Steelers QB settles rape lawsuit ----------------------------------------- RENO, Nev. (AP)—Lawyers for Ben Roethlisberger and a woman who accused him of raping her at a Lake Tahoe hotel-casino in 2008 have reached a settlement that ends her civil lawsuit against the Steelers quarterback. Cal Dunlap, the Reno lawyer representing the woman, confirmed the settlement on Friday but declined to discuss the terms of the agreement. “The matter has been resolved and I have no further comment,” he told The Associated Press. The Reno Gazette-Journal first reported the settlement on its website. It also dismisses claims against Harrah’s employees whom the woman had accused of covering up the alleged sexual assault in Roethlisberger’s penthouse suite in July 2008. Dunlap first told Washoe District Court Judge Brent Adams in papers filed last Nov. 30 that his client wanted to have a stay lifted so the case could be dismissed because a settlement was pending. “All parties have reached a resolution of all claims and counterclaims,” he wrote. Adams formally dismissed the case Dec. 27 but neither side had publicized it until now. David Cornwell, Roethlisberger’s lawyer, did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment on Friday. His agent, Ryan Tollner, said neither he nor Roethlisberger would have any comment. The Nevada Supreme Court had ruled against the two-time Super Bowl champion quarterback’s request in August to have the case moved from Reno to Carson City because it was closer to where the alleged incident had occurred at Harrah’s in Stateline. The woman was a VIP casino hostess at Harrah’s when she said Roethlisberger allegedly lured her to his room under the pretense of fixing his television. Roethlisberger was in town at the time to play in a celebrity golf tournament. Roethlisberger denied the allegations. The original lawsuit filed in 2009 sought a minimum of $440,000 in damages from the quarterback, at least $50,000 in damages from the Harrah’s officials and an unspecified amount in punitive damages. The woman said she never filed a criminal complaint because she feared Harrah’s would side with Roethlisberger and she would be fired. ---------------------------- http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-roethlisbergerlawsuit-settled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhyscartwright_avfc Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 What do people think of Del Rio as new Broncos DC? Particularly Brumerican seeing as you saw his defence week in week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 31, 2012 Author Moderator Share Posted January 31, 2012 Del Rio has had the Jags' defence constantly in the top 10 and got the Panthers from last to 2nd in one season so I'm delighted to have him on board. We've a very talented defensive unit that just needs guidance. If we can add a top corner in the draft (I'm not sold on Goodman at all) then we'll be in very good shape for next season. If Dawkins calls time then add a safety to that too. But regardless, Del Rio is a very good appointment. Oh to have an OC half as good as our DC :?

BOF Posted January 31, 2012 Author Moderator Share Posted January 31, 2012 He doesn't deserve his career to end in that manner. I'd feel sorry for him if he couldn't return. The bitter irony being that it's not even his neck vertebrae, it's the nerves in his arm affecting his throwing speed. I'd say there's someone out there who would take an 85% fit Manning though.

kkr Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 NFL Network plans 13 Thursday night games in 2012 Posted by Michael David Smith on February 3, 2012, 12:01 PM EST Roger Goodell AP NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell revealed today that the number of regular-season games televised by NFL Network is about to increase. Goodell said NFL Network will expand to 13 Thursday night games for the 2012 season, and he added that with the increased number of prime time games, all 32 NFL teams will be guaranteed at least one prime time game over the course of the 2012 season. Between the NFL Network Thursday night offerings and NBC having Thursday night games for Week 1 and Thanksgiving, fans should be ready for Thursday Night Football to become a regular part of their lives, just as fans have grown accustomed to football all day Sunday and again on Monday night. “We’re going to be playing Thursday night games from Week 2 to Week 15,” in addition to the annual Thursday night regular-season opener, Goodell said. As for fans who don’t get NFL Network, Goodell said it’s time for the holdout cable companies to get in line or risk losing NFL fans. “The market for NFL Network is here,” Goodell said. “And it’s going to continue to grow.” link I have just renewed with NFL Network online, £30 for the year. So that is 13 games, combine, free agency, draft, offseason, preseason (of which they showed every game this year), plus highlights of every single game as well as all the analysis and discussion. Bargain! NFL Gameday Morning is superb also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
