You may have noticed this story. Here's a quick summary:
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged that the league will delve into the suit that alleges Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger raped a woman in 2008.
"I don't know enough of the details, but it's a civil lawsuit, it's something that we obviously will look into," Goodell told reporters, via NFL.com.
"I've been in touch with the Steelers about it."
Andrea McNulty, a former employee at a Lake Tahoe casino, has accused Roethlisberger of rape in a civil suit. There is no criminal complaint.
More importantly, ESPN is actively NOT mentioning this story. Nothing on the TV, web site, or radio stations. A reporter in Dallas has said that an order was issued from the main offices to not talk about it in any way. Very strange.

Will it blend? That is the question.
