TFD: Are you ready for some football? Ben Roethlisberger certainly is.

With his off-field problems accelerating, Ben Roethlisberger takes the field tonight in the NFL opener vs. Tennessee.

Ben Roethlisberger will be under center in a little over two hours as the NFL season kicks off. But if an attorney has his way, well, the world will know a whole lot more about the Steelers' QB and his previous, ahem, gameday activities. From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:

A lawyer for a Nevada casino worker accusing Ben Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting her last year at a Lake Tahoe resort wants a list of every woman the Steelers quarterback has slept with and any who have claimed sexual misconduct on his part.

Reno attorney Calvin Dunlap filed the request late Tuesday as part of a court filing opposing motions to have the civil lawsuit dismissed. Dunlap also requested, among other things, Roethlisberger's telephone and e-mail records and for him to undergo psychiatric and physical examinations. His lawyers have suggested the same for his accuser, calling her "disturbed and calculating" and a "sex addict."

If it seems like Roethlisberger is checking down on 2nd-and-7 tonight, he really might just be thinking about a night in Aruba four years ago. Gotta make that list!
