Roethlisberger Won't Live in Sin

Shutdown Corner - We knew Ben Roethlisberger(notes) 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.

Wait a second!  What!?  They really buried the lead in this article.  Ben won't live with her before the wedding because of religious beliefs!?  You mean he is part of some religion that is totally cool with violating women in dirty bar bathrooms, but not with living in the same house before you are married.

This whole marriage is a crock of shit.  This is probably just some chick that he has known for awhile, who has agreed to marry him so that he can look better to the general public and she can spend money like the wife of a star NFL QB.  I can't hate on her for that, or him for that matter, it's a business agreement (like Bill and Hillary), but don't bring religion into it, when it's clear that you haven't given a fuck about honoring your religious beliefs for the last 10 years.

I'm not an idiot Ben, you can hide behind God and religion all you want, but it's too late.  I already know you're a scumbag.
