Video of Ben Roethlisberger Press Conference Denying Sexual Assault Allegations

I think it’s pretty much what everyone expected, although Ben seemed a little more defiant than I expected.  But if he really is innocent (and at this point we have no way of knowing either way) then I would expect a little bit of the anger that his words seemed to be coated with.  Florio, as usual, had an insightful take on the Ben Roethlisberger press conference video over at PFT.
