I put this here because it surely will become if not start out as smack.  LATROBE, Pa.(AP) — For Ben Roethlisberger, there really is no place like home.
In his Steelers biography, Roethlisberger now lists his birthplace as the fictitious and the incorrectly spelled Corey Rawson, Ohio. There is no such community, although he did attend Cory-Rawson School in Rawson, Ohio, before his junior high days.
Roethlisberger apparently made the change because he was displeased with unflattering comments made about him by some residents of hometown Findlay, Ohio, following a March incident in which he was accused of sexual assault. He was not charged, but drew a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy.
Until this season, Roethlisberger identified Findlay as his hometown.
LINKShould change his name from Big Ben to Big _____ (think of a character on the Sopranos )

Tom Mullet's mom is weeping. Do we have to spell out everything?

This story is CLASSIC! Not only does change his hometown to a non-existant city...he misspelled it! How he graduated from Miami I'll never know.

He graduated in Physical Education I believe. The education department at Miami had the highest GPA of all the majors on campus with around a 3.2 avg I believe. The econ department had the lowest with the avg GPA being around 2.4.

http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/38794103/ns/sports-baseball/Is 18 enough? Another losing season for Pirates! PITTSBURGH - For a change, the hits kept falling for the New York Mets. For the Pittsburgh Pirates, nothing's changed — it's another losing record, another bit of history. David Wright and Jose Reyes each had three of the Mets' slump-ending 15 hits, Mike Pelfrey pitched eight innings and New York assured the Pirates of their record-extending 18th consecutive losing season, winning 7-2 on Friday night. Chris Carter homered and drove in two runs a night after the Mets managed three hits during a 3-2 loss in Houston. That performance led manager Jerry Manuel to call his offense "pathetic."

OOOOOhhhh, the pieces make sense. Got out my Ouija and it filled in the blanks. Is it legally possible for a player to be suspended for importuning himself in the restroom? Or whatever? 'Cause the name change would certainly get his own attention. LOL-- clever blanks. Like Scrabble but quite, quite different that. LOL

I understood Bard completely. Then again we're from Swingfield. It's like a hometown codec. 
Me question is what does Worthlessburger have to do with an octogon?
