Tuff Stuff is creating a bracket of the best 16 rookie cards from the 1980s and '90s in baseball, basketball, football and hockey and pitting them against each other until there is one left standing – all determined by your votes.

Big Ben Appears To Be In Big Trouble By now, everybody and their brother has heard about Big Ben's latest troubles involving a college girl and alleged sexual assault. Being a life-long Steelers fan, my first reaction was: here we go again. Another gold digger looking to cash in. But while the first woman who claimed Roethlisberger assaulted her had no evidence to help support her claim and the case was quickly thrown out without any criminal charges being pressed, this case seems to be different and not in a sweep-it-under-the-rug kind of way.
