Roethlisberger Isn’T Living With Fiancee Because Of Religious Beliefs
-
We knew Ben Roethlisberger was getting married. Now we know the particulars.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback spoke for the first time this week about his upcoming nuptials. In an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Roethlisberger confirmed that he's engaged to 26-year-old Ashley Harlan, whom he met during training camp in 2005.
"We were kind of on and off for five years -- almost six years now -- so I've known her for a while," Roethlisberger told the newspaper. "It's not like a random new person. We dated awhile ago; we have been friends ever since."
Roethlisberger and Harlan became engaged around Christmas, but the quarterback refused to talk about the subject during the Steelers' run to the Super Bowl. The 26-year-old works as a physician's assistant in the cardiac surgery department of a Pittsburgh hospital. She attended St. Francis College, where she played softball.
The two are scheduled to be married on July 23, one week before the scheduled start of training camp.
"I think a small part of her is hoping we hold out for a week so we can honeymoon," he said. "I told her I was laughing with coach [Mike] Tomlin; he said 'You guys might have to have the honeymoon suite at Saint Vincent.'" (Isn't he not supposed to be talking to coaches?)
Another revelation in the lengthy interview was that Roethlisberger won't live with Harlan until the wedding because of their religious beliefs. She still lives at home with her parents in nearby Newcastle.
The quarterback insists his engagement isn't part of an effort to rehabilitate his image and there's no reason not to take him at his word. But when he says stuff about cohabitation and religious beliefs, it's fair to say that he's not shying away from using his upcoming marriage to try and restore his good name. Why bother mentioning that if it's not to make yourself look pious and to try and draw attention away from past brushes with immoral behavior?
"People will always have opinions of everybody and me, and that's fine, they're entitled," Roethlisberger told the newspaper. "People can say that it is whatever, but people who know and can see and are around us and know me, know that it's something special when you find that person, and I'm extremely lucky," he said.

This is a joke that's not even funny...

I am assuming that the "not living together" thing is part of her religious beliefs, not his.
But then, just because they are not living together doesn't mean that they are not humping on a daily basis. I mean, how many people that have girlfriends or fiances have sex on a regular basis but don't live together?
As far as their situation "not being an attempt to rehabilitate" his image, yes, then why bring it up?
OK, its fine well and good that you have vowed not to continue put yourself into positions where you could be accused of rape. Should we have a banquet for you because you have decided to behave properly in civilized society?
On the other hand, will the fact that BR is giving up being a snatch hound cause him to lose his "Mojo" on the football field?
Oh, behave!

this girl is either extremely naive or she's a gold digging bimbo who has one thing on her mind. ben has a long history of being a serial sexual predator dating back to his college days (and that's just what we know of. it could go back further than that). the guy has targetted a specific type of woman and has used alcohol to get his way with them and some woman wants to marry him??!! yeah, ben's just going to magically change overnite and cold turkey his sick, twisted ways. it's possible, i guess. but this story and ben's own words make you seriosuly question his sincerity.
"I think a small part of her is hoping we hold out for a week so we can honeymoon," he said. "I told her I was laughing with coach [Mike] Tomlin; he said 'You guys might have to have the honeymoon suite at Saint Vincent.'"
so basically ben has talked to his coach DURING the lockout. will the nfl fine the steelers or will they let them get away with murder...............AGAIN. if the steelers do get punished, i bet it will be the ususal slap on the wrist.

so why mention this at all? why even tell the world you won't be moving in together for religious beliefs until you're married? shouldn't that be personal? sounds like weirdo ben has a hidden agenda up his sleeve. this has pr move written aaalllll over it. but i'm sure his homer troll police will come and try to defend him.

That picture is b.s. everyone knows ben likes his women with a little more fight in them. That's the only way some rapist can get it up.

Without reading one word of this article, I can very safely say, WHO GIVES A xxxx?

She's not from Pittsburgh. PA, but not Pittsburgh and I'm trying to figure out why anyone here gives a sh.it? It's been a while since one of these "wonder threads" has been started. Just couldn't resist I guess, too much BROWNS talk. lol.

newcastle is what...35 minutes away? i guess thats not steeler country...eh?
She doesn't live in Pittsburgh or Pittsburgh proper and New Castle is further than 35 minutes away. It still doesn't negate the sh.it show in this cute thread or why anyone cares about the article outside of Pittsburgh to begin with....oooooo right haters gonna hate. Unfortunately for some of you it's the same usual suspects starting the mindless threads. The place has been void of anything Steeler for what almost 2 months? Some things never change.
And yes Newcastle is Steeler country, most of PA is outside of Philly, but I doubt her address says Pittsburgh like mine for example. Twas my point.
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -

It's mindles because this is a Browns board. One that usually takes a specific dislike to outside Steeler participation and has been void of most things Steeler for at least 2 months. I also don't understand why anyone is interested in this story at all. Plenty of pro athletes get married but because Ben apparently decided to stand beside the beliefs of his eventual wife he's chastised for it. I don't really care one way or another and this thread could go 40 pages for all I care. I just find it amusing, especially after all the crying about Steeler fans on your beloved message board. I've been reading the last two months and actually ignored this one for a while. Posted in a few other threads and finally broke down and participated. Some of you just can't resist and New Castle doesn't carry a Pittsburgh Address so no she's not from "pitspuke" man what a cute little nickname.

lol....u ever think that we post this type of stuff cause u stooler trolls feel the need to be on this board more than we are?
thats right u didn't. cause u aint got the equipment that allows coherent thought.
i live in wexford dumbfuk...the only non ghetto community in allegheny county. i golf in newcastle.....dont tell me how far it is.
-
Which part of the total bullshit on this thread has to do with football or being sore losers.............
Grow up folks.......Ben is a big time player we could of had him instead we traded up for Kellen Winslow under the dumbfuque regime
Now get on with football and hope McCoy can carry Ben's jock strap or better so we do not get our ass throttled for six more years
Sad .........Sad .....Sad a dumb fuquing thread with dumb fuqing responses
I made a statement in 2004 when we passed on Ben and gave a away a second to get brain dead Winslow that it was a dark day in Browns history........the sorta whining here is not going to fix stupidity but requests more
Offense Wins.......Franchise QB's are the key.............Defense keeps you in the game.........Go Buckeyes -

Who the xxxx are you again? You live in Wexford the only "non-ghetto" community in Allegheny County? HILARIOUS and let's not talk about coherent thoughts because there isn't a thing that I've ever typed on this message board that hasn't met that "criteria" I also think your first sentence is nothing more than a cute deflection from one obvious fact. A few of you morons just can't help yourselves. The same morons singing "the demise of the Steelers' for what seems like the better part of a decade. Let me ask you. How has that worked out?
And going back to your other point you must not get out much. Wexford is alright and during my days in High School I enjoyed beating the sh.it out of Mt. Lebo but your comment is so ridiculously ignorant it's almost not worth a response. I responded anyway and if you don't like Allegheny County do us all a favor and get the xxxx out.
"only non-ghetto community in Allegheny County" LMFAO and lol @ you golf in New Castle. I golf at Oakmont Country club. You should come by. I'll piss on your shoes.

Stepped back from message boards from awhile, this shit is ridiculous.
SJ, how many guys do you know that don't "prey on drunk girls" to get laid? Don't act like nobody on earth besides the Steelers QB does that.
Anyway, Ben is clearly using this to revamp his image. But like Homotron and someone else said, who really gives a f!ck?
I also think it's unfair to say he's using it to revamp his image. You don't get married and try and keep things hush/hush to revamp your image. They've also been off and on for a long time now. I'd say he went a long way to revamp his image since his return to the field and your first argument has been my own for a while, not to mention how ridiculously aggressive women are now sexually. Water over the dam.

i don't know any guys that prey on drunk girls to get laid. i don't hang around weirdo losers. real men don't need to or want to do sick crap like that. sounds like somebody on an episode of criminal minds.
i'm quite aware that ben isn't the only sicko like that in the world. but that doesn't lighten the fact (that ben is a serial sexual predator) just because other guys do it to. so your point that i put in bold letters is extremely pointless. and people wouldn't post steeler crap like this if their star qb wasn't known for illegal contact off the field.
btw, there was a recent thread on this board about lawrence taylor and his recent drama with a female. no, it wasn't the same situation as ben's. but my point is that it was a non browns topic brought up on this browns board and i don't remember anybody complaining about that being on here (http://thebrownsboard.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=19237). i'm just saying.

If you don't think it isn't news, national or otherwise, about BR getting engaged a little over a year after he was accused of rape, and in the offseason after he served a 4 game suspension for his deviant behavior, then you are foolish. I suspect this sort of thing would be TMZ fodder for a month. Why would you think it would NOT be mentioned on a rival team's chat board? I agree that the news is of no consequence to me, but to believe that it shouldn't be mentioned or discuss is way too pollyannaish.

We fans could have second guessed every draft pick the Browns have made for the last 40 years. Don't know why you think passing on BR is any more special of a pass than the hundreds of other passes we made.
Hell, this is a team that passed on Tom Brady to take Spergeon Wynn.
