Roethlisberger investigation continues

Football Betting Lines

03/08/2010 - Milledgeville, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Milledgeville police chief Woodrow Blue said Monday at a brief press conference that arrangements are being made to interview Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who was recently accused of sexual assault.

Blue said that the department has been in touch with Roethlisberger's attorney, and that Roethlisberger is cooperating. Blue did not get into details of the case, only saying it is still in the investigative stage.

Georgia Bureau of Investigation special agent Tom Davis said he anticipates conducting about eight interviews over the next few days, and said the accuser has legal representation. Davis also did not disclose much about the case.

The alleged incident took place Thursday night at Milledgeville club Capitol City. Roethlisberger's agent confirmed Friday to the Pittsburgh Post- Gazette that the allegation had been made.

The alleged female victim was treated at the Oconee Regional Medical Center in Milledgeville and released.

Steelers president Art Rooney II released a statement Monday about the situation.

"All of us in the Steelers family are concerned about the recent incident involving Ben Roethlisberger in Georgia," the statement said. "We cannot comment on any of the specifics until law enforcement's investigation is concluded. Certainly, we will continue to closely monitor the situation."

Last July, the quarterback was accused in a lawsuit of raping a 31-year-old woman in a hotel room in Harrah's Casino in Lake Tahoe. Roethlisberger denied the allegations and no criminal charges were filed.

The lawsuit was put on hold late last year pending the outcome of an appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court.

Roethlisberger owns a home in Greensboro, Georgia and spends much of the NFL off-season at the location, which is approximately one hour from Milledgeville.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds

With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season.  What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season.  Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all.  Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13).  Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two.  Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury.  Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven.  Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury.  Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.

In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons.  Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4.  Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1).  The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this.  No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
