    Ever since Slick Willie and Palmeiro's vehement denials I put zero credence in Big Gay's.

    I'm standing by my orignal (and only) take on this: The accuser is full of sh!t and lying through her teeth to get money.

    RENO, Nev. (AP)—The woman suing quarterback Big Gay Ben(notes) for alleged sexual assault has been accused of bragging about having consensual sex with him to a co-worker.

    According to court documents filed late Friday, Angela Antonetti said the woman who made the rape claim “did not appear to be upset, stressed-out or nervous” about her time with the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback during a 2008 celebrity golf tournament at Lake Tahoe.

    Antonetti said her Harrah’s hotel-casino co-worker “appeared happy and boastful,” and later said she thought she might be pregnant from the encounter. Antonetti made the remarks in a sworn statement attached to a motion to move the case from Reno to Minden, Nev.

    “Rather than indicating that she was afraid or apprehensive about this, (the woman) expressed to me that she was hoping for a ‘little Rapelisberger,” said Antonetti, who worked with her at Harrah’s between 2006 and 2009.

    Lawyer Cal Dunlap, who represents the woman, declined to comment Saturday.

    “We’ll just deal with it in the lawsuit,” he said.

    In her lawsuit, the 31-year-old Nevada woman says she was working as a VIP hostess during the tournament when the two-time Super Bowl winner raped her in a hotel penthouse across the street from the golf course—a claim he vehemently denies.

    She also alleges Harrah’s officials orchestrated a cover-up, and worked to silence her and undermine her credibility rather than investigate her claims.

    But the motion, filed by Rapelisberger’s Nevada lawyer John Echeverria, says her claims were an attempt to exploit his celebrity status and secure an “extortionate payday.”

    Antonetti said the woman’s emotional collapse had nothing to do with a rape but resulted from a failed relationship with a married man and then a long-distance relationship that turned out to be a hoax.

    Antonetti claims the woman became “very emotionally distraught” afterward, and took a leave of absence from Harrah’s.

    Antonetti says she wanted “to set the record straight” after hearing about the claims against Rapelisberger.

    I highly doubt Brokeback forced himself on a chick, but I don't know it for a fact. I also don't know who this Antonetti gal is either. Maybe she didn't get along with the accuser.........that's why they have trials or settle, but even then nothing is certain.

    Either way, Brokey was pretty stupid for this encounter and the chick isn't even a total piece.

    This is why you don't put yourself in that position, but nobody ever accused Big Gay of being overly intellectual.

    the AAFC titles hold about as much weight as an XFL championship would. do something, ANYTHING, in the modern era of football before you start touting your franchises achievements.

    That is too freakin funny JADBF! I was thinking the exact same thing.

    You can't help but get a kick out of the Pittsburgh spin. They think Worthlessberger has been pumpin iron and powergluing HOT chicks.

    Then there's the REAL world that knows he's only Ben Pumpin hotel workers against their will when he's not snacking between snacks. I feel bad for that poor homily girl because that's such an inexcusable act; and now she'll have a bunch of 3 River Mutants stalking her while another Rooney payoff gets underway to assassinate her character. She'll prolly lose her job in the process. She stands a ZERO % chance of this ending up the way it should.

    For the mere Karma alone - I'm GLAD Willie power-slammed his ass. I'm even MORE glad Atenears had a brand new icon to comemorate how Ben Smellinsalts left the field that day.

    Ha HA HA ... Just Prepare for two more Azzzzwhoopins Brownie Nation. And Ben pretty much has always had a Fat Head , hence his contract WITH FATHEAD !!

    Secondly, women are very competitive and vengeful towards each other (which is sad). This new woman could just be jealous of the attention or something.

    Yeah maybe, but I don't buy it. Why is it so hard to believe this chick is trying to extort money? I have heard some pretty wild stories to back up this Harrah's chick, and I don't buy any of them.

    Really, a jealous women is backing up Ben on a rape charge?

    Because this is when the press got wind of it. She may have come forward a long time ago (immediately after the lawsuit) and Ben's lawyers needed to check everything out. Plus, I am sure this isn't only person coming forward. Her goose is cooked, IMO.

    I could care less about him being a Steeler. He isn't married so he didn't cheat on his wife. He got laid and she is trying to get rich. F*ck her in the a$$. I hate c**ts like this.

    Easy there big guy, you have no idea about this gal and what her intentions are. The same scenario you just said could work in reverse, she just found out about some chick she can't stand through the media claiming rape.

    I've already said I doubt Brokey did this but it's not out of the realm of possibility and the accuser deserves to be treated with respect until this is resolved.

    You're right. I guess her asking for $300-400K but not filing charges has my BS meter flyng high. I have all kinds of common sense questions that I can't get answered, so I will agree she deserves her day in court.

Will Ben grow the freak up ? I find it disturbing either way ...could you see this happening to Brady or P. Manning ? I dont like it regardless how it plays out.

    --that was quite a minor league with Paul Brown, Otto Graham, Marion Motley, Loe Groza, Elroy Hirsch, Y.A. Tittle, Joe Perry, etc... too bad those guys weren't good enough for the NFL

    In reality, during those days, it was the AAFC that was the major league and the NFL the minor league in comparison.

    The AAFC had higher per game attendance records.

    The AAFC paid its players better.

    The AAFC had African-American players where the NFL didn't.

    The AAFC team won the NFL title the first year it joined the league and the other teams from the AAFC did fairly well.

    The only problem with the AAFC was that the Browns really were too good. Interest did begin to lag because all the other teams knew they had no real chance, so, lack of competitiveness caused it to suffer.

    how bout this point? what about every good guy that has been unduely accused of rape and either got convicted of it or didn't and will have the title of "rapist" over their head for the rest of their lives?

    you care about that at all?

    guys, no matter if there is ZERO evidence to support the claim, are ALWAYS and FOREVER seen in a different light. this is the vindictive woman's best friend......the alleged rape.

    i always thought the courts should have laws stating that "If any person, knowingly, brings a false charge of rape against another individual..........then they themselves will be sentenced to prison for the same amount of years that the accused faced".

    that would definately keep gold digging tramps from making false claims.

    oh, and just to let all you women know who may be reading this board......................."if a pro athlete wants you to accompany him to his room..........it's for sex" they don't looovvveee you, they aren't going to wife you, they don't want your baby, they aren't taking you up there to tell you their deepest secerets while you tell them yours, they don't want a relationship, they don't want to meet your parents, they don't want to even know your name.

    all they want..............and listen to this closely women, so that if you find yourself in the wake of a pro athlete on his way up to his "presidential suite" you aren't shocked at what you find on the other side of the door.

    all they want..............is a wet hole to pipe on.

    plain and simple.

    I hear what you are saying about sentencing the acuser.. but it's still utterly ridiculous. Here is why. ..The court decides if there is sufficent evidence to warrant a trial even BEFORE they even allow the trial..So that is already decided.If there is insufficient evidence..there would never even be a trial.. If the guy is found not guilty..that does not mean the charge is false.. only that the evidence cannot be proven BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT..that does not make the accuser guilty of bringing false charges..

    This is a civil trial..there is no sentencing here.. it's just about proving the claim and the amount of settlement. If they find for Toothlessburger...does not make her a liar..only means the evidence was not convincing enough to find in favor for her.

    It is already scary enough for women to step up and charge rape when they are really and truly raped because of how they are mistrated by the defense in a trial.. your rule would only make it more difficult for women who are truly raped to bring charges... That is part of the issue here..is that she was claiming she was coerced by her employer not to bring charges when it happened..

    There is truth in some of this. The AAFC did have African American Players in it.

    After that, the rest is laughable.

    To suggest that the AAFC was the pre-eminent league is a joke. What happened to the New York Yankees, Buffalo Bisons, Miami Seahawks, Chicago Rockets, Los Angeles Dons and Brooklyn Dodgers? They folded. Within two years, most every team in the AAFC was losing money. The league was started by a group of men who had deeper pockets and yes, they paid their players more to compete with the NFL, but the league had a huge disparity in talent and teams were either very good or extremely bad. Basically, the Browns had no competition to legitimately match themselves up against.

    Bottom line, when most of the league you play against can't even field a team and goes out of business, there isn't a whole lot of legitamacy about those "championships".

    The NFL does not recognize accomplishments or records from the AAFC. The NFL is the league that exists today. These titles are not recognized as legitmate NFL Championships. And that is an undisputable fact.

    But why not recognize the Browns' achievements, because they were the few of teams that were still left in the AAFC after it folded. That's the NFL saying F-U to my brownies! 😠
