Re: Roethlisberger Dislocated Rib (OT?)
Fair enough.
FWIW I wasn't suggesting that people should be somehow required to adopt a legal "beyond reasonable doubt" standard to their opinions; rather, that there were enough mitigating circumstances (that is, enough not cut and dry or objective) in both cases that plausible scenarios existed supporting either side. And that being the case, the degree of absolute certainty that a lot of people have shown (and again, I'm including Steelers fans here) is surprising to me.
Ben has a track record, though. Not just the Georgia case, but Vegas as well. In a court of law, he's innocent until proven guilty (or until he pays someone enough to drop the charges), but you don't have to be a Steelers' hater to take the POV that something pretty bad happened.
