Yes, I agree. Its about the money. There are a lot of holes in her story. Its an incredibly rotten thing to do to a man. It affects his reputation, and with training camp just around the corner, it affects his ability to make a living. Can you say distraction?

So the question becomes can he destroy her credibility for less than the half million she is seeking ?

I've heard a lot of stories lately about women accusing men of rape and suing for money. A lot im sure are not true. Hopefully in this case who ever is telling the truth wins.

This is sad....I don't think ben did it. But then again i didn't think kobe did it either. Sexually based crimes are the worst of all and I don't think ben is that kind of person. Besides he's the quarterback of the pittsburg steelers....he could probably have any woman in the city.....It just donsn't make sense to me
