Police: Man claimed to be Roethlisberger, St. PierreAssociated Press

PITTSBURGH -- Police have flagged a man for an illegal quarterback sneak.

Authorities said Brian Jackson, 31, dated two women by pretending to be Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Ben Roethlisberger and Brian St. Pierre.

Jackson, arrested Friday, was charged with harassment for allegedly continuing to contact both women after they learned of the ruses. He was also charged with criminal mischief for allegedly ruining a Steelers jersey owned by one of the women's neighbors when he signed his worthless rendition of Roethlisberger's autograph on it. The jersey was worth $75 before it was signed, police said.

Jackson and his attorney, Paul Boas, declined comment after he was arraigned in Pittsburgh City Court and released on an unsecured bond Friday. Boas again declined comment when reached at his office. Jackson faces a preliminary hearing July 25.

The team didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.

In one of the scams, Jackson arrived at the woman's home on July 6, gave her an autographed football and pretended to be Roethlisberger, signing the neighbor's jersey, authorities said.

When she got home from their date that night, the neighbor brought her a newspaper article and told her that the man wasn't Roethlisberger.

Allegheny County police said Jackson pretended to be St. Pierre, the third-string quarterback, when he met a woman last September. She told police that during the three weeks they were in contact, Jackson often talked of his "teammates" and offered to autograph footballs for neighborhood kids. Jackson also told the woman to watch Steelers games so she could see him when he went into the game, police said.

When the woman did watch a Steelers game, she saw the real Brian St. Pierre on the screen and realized that Jackson was an impostor, police said. Jackson tried to explain to the woman that he looked "different" on TV, but she asked him not to contact her, police said.

Are you $hittin me ... this guy was arrested for this? :-s

When did it become a crime to GAME some gold-diggers?

If the chick wants to give it up because she thinks he's BIG BEN, why is that his fault ... that doesn't mean he forced her to disrobe?

So now he's to blame because these broads act like cheap hookers?

Well I'm just glad this was not the case back in the day ... I'd have been arrested a million times ... I was everything from a doctor, lawyer, CIA, to the President of Spain! :lol:

WTF man, whatever gets you over! :mrgreen:

Oh yeah, and I played for the Yankees a few times as well ... NO JOKE ... there's a few chicks out there who believe {TILL THIS DAY} that they slept with a former Yankee!

Gun of Bavaria: "The stupid b!tches got what they deserved".

It's true

All of the sudden we're making laws to protect some wannabe hookers against mistakenly sleeping with someone who isn't really rich and famous?

Like, I thought he was rich and famous ... he said he was rich and famous ... so I willingly dropped my draws ... but now that I know he is not really rich and famous, can you please put him in jail?

:wtf:

And let me tell you something else ... if misrepresenting yourself to impress a woman is really a crime, there aren't enough jails on this planet to house all the criminals ... we'll have to start building some prisons on the moon and other planets, because there isn't even enough real-estate on this planet to build the amount of prisons we'll need

Now that might not be PC ... BUT THAT IS A FACT

Lying to impress women is as old as time itself ... I'll lay 2 to 1 that even Adam was prone to exageration, and he was the only option Eve had!!

:mrgreen:

That conversation probably went something like this ...

Adam: Eve, I Just caught a huge fish ... had to be at least six feet long ... enough to feed us for a week ... and if you stick with me, darling, I promise you will never starve ... I am an expert fisherman and hunter ... once killed a Tyrannosaurus with my bare hands ... I will give you everything your little heart desires

Anyhow, now that dinner is taken care of, at least for the next week or so, whatta ya say we go and work up an appitite? 8)

:lol: This thread is hysterical.

Verde: You are hereby cut off. It's not my fault that you can't tell the difference between TomShane and Tom (space) Shane. Here's a tip: they both have huge penises.

Ham: :lol::lol:=D> Remember when you and me were cruising the boardwalk in AC and we convinced those two broads that we were Tiki and Ronde Barber? "I swear, baby! The TV takes off twenty pounds and adds alot of melanin!"

I agree with Ham 100%. I read this while ago in the newspaper and I had to reread it twice to try and find where this guy did something illegal.

I was unaware that tricking stupid chicks is a crime in the state of Pennyslvania.
