Ben Roethlisberger, quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been accused of sexual assault. An employee of the Harrah’s Lake Tahoe said Roethlisberger attacked her when he stayed there for a celebrity golf tournament in July 2008. The woman is asking for $390,000 in damages.

The suit she filed has an unusual twist to it. Along with the sexual assault complaint against Roethlisberger, there is also a libel and slander suit complaint against eight other defendants. The eight others are “reportedly employees at Harrah’s whom the woman accuses of defaming her following the assault and whom McNulty says …read more

Gisele Bundchen has refuted claims that she and Tom Brady are engaged.
She tells one source that it is absolutely positively not true.
But what if she just changed her mind? What if she came to her senses and realized that if a guy is going to leave his girlfriend when he finds out she’s pregnant, that he’s probably a bum!
You think?
Nah… me neither. I doubt Gisele worries about men leaving her… pregnant or not. Still…. a sports blogger can hope….

There are great fans, overzealous fans, and occasionally, STUPID fans. This story falls into the last two categories.
Apparently a pair of Arizona Cardinalsfans “used diesel fuel to burn the words “Go Cards,” “Go Kurt” and “I (heart symbol) AZ” on Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb’s lawn.
The Cardinals are going to the Superbowl, while the Eagles are not. That should be enough satisfaction for a Cardinals fan.
Not only that, but the two fans also had left a cardboard box with a sign that said, “Go Cards” and “Beat Philly.” As if that …read more

Here’s a super shocking revelation: Kendra Wilkinson (one of the three “Girls Next Door” who pretended to sleep with super old Hugh Hefner) says she would sneak out of the Playboy mansion every once in a blue moon in order to have sex.
What? Isn’t the Playboy mansion KNOWN for sexual exploits here and there and everywhere? I knew something was wrong with three chicks sleeping with a guy old enough to be their great-great-great grandfather. And now I see what it is! (She said snarkily…)
Kendra is now dating Philadelphia Eagles wide …read more

In case you haven’t heard, the Pittsburgh Steelers are in the playoffs. The whole town is getting behind them, including their mayor, Luke Ravenstahl.
Notice the team name tucked into the mayors name? The “Ravens.”
Yah, well guess who the Steelers play this Saturday? Yep – the RAVENS. The mayor, true blue Steeler fan that he is, felt that having a last name that mentioned the opponent was NO GOOD. So he’s asked to be called “Mr. Steelerstahl” for the duration of the week.
He said, “On behalf of the Steelers Nation, I’ve decided to remove …read more

Congrats to Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady! They are engaged, and planning a spring wedding.
I’m happy if they are happy. I mean, so what if he left the woman who was pregnant with his son in order to be with Gisele. Right?
So what if he was a total scoundrel by getting involved with Gisele before he broke up with Bridget Moynahan.
Right?
No! No, NOT right. Men who do such things should suffer (at least for a while!). NOT take up with super-hot models before the ink on the pregnancy test of their …read more

The Dallas Cowboys have released Pacman Jones today – after a new allegation that he ordered ANOTHER drive-by shooting in 2007.
All this happened after ESPN called the Cowboys organization and the NFL and informed them that they would air an “Outside the Lines” segment which included “never-before-seen footage of Pacman Jones’ apparent involvement in a June 2007 nightclub shooting when he was still with the Tennessee Titans.” The footage is set to air on Sunday, for all you Gossip on Sports guys and gals out there.
What happened was that Pacman went to a …read more
