Most of you have probably heard about Ben Roethlisberger's most recent off the field controversy. I don't know if Big Ben is being extorted or if he assaulted a woman. I won't weigh in until I know more.
I do know that good things don't happen in nightclubs after midnight. I don't think Big Ben is a bad guy. He's a happy-go-lucky guy who likes to go out and have fun. Nothing wrong with that. But he's gotta be careful. In difficult economic times, the odds of Big Ben being a potential target of extortion, kidnapping, and even worse increase.
Most of you may not know Saints linebacker Scott Fujita. Even though Fujita was traded to the Cleveland Browns after winning the Super Bowl last month, Fujita donated half of his Super Bowl bonus to Katrina relief and the other half to Haiti relief.
The Tank's Bottom Line: I wish Big Ben watch out for himself. The NFL and world needs more Scott Fujitas.
