Bell tolls for Big Ben

Psssst!

I heard that Big Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers has been accused of sexual assault in Lake Tahoe. A civil case has been filed against him. Photo by Hakester/MySpace.

What, you haven't heard it on ESPN? Well there's a lot of suspicion on our local sports talk radio that ESPN is burying it because ABC/ESPN has a new reality show debuting Aug. 8 that features Ben and Shaquille O'Neal. The show is called "Shaq Vs." and it's going forward, ABC said.

Does ESPN cater too much to athletes? If Terrell Owens or Chad Johnson had been accused of this, would they have given him the benefit of the doubt? I don't think so.

Ed Werder would be out there in a jiffy. ESPN apparently said they hadn't reported it because no criminal charges had been filed. That didn't stop them in some other cases.
That's all for the rumor mill today. I'm going back to sleep.

Goodnight,

Jax
