Brian Jackson - JackAss of the week July 18th, 2005 - July 25th, 2005

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 returned 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.

LMAO!

This is the best jackass of the week ever!! I wonder if he even looks like Big Ben? I mean you certainly don't have to look like the 3rd sting QB because you don't usually see them, but Ben's face is every where.

I wonder how many times he got laid pretending to be Big Ben. That would suck if he knocked one of them up and she tried to get money out of the real Ben without even knowing it wasn't really him.

that guy isn't a jackass...he's a genius

Rusty27 · July 18th, 2005, 02:14 PM

Seems like the women who dated him just because of his supposed name should be the jackass of the week.

Faking being the third stringer I can understand as you dont often see them, but Ben, jeeze. Hard to do, must have known that they didn't watch football or happen to see any of the commercials.

These women were stupid.

I wonder if he is Dan Hinote too?

JGAC · July 18th, 2005, 09:16 PM

lol

Almost forgot about that flop of a mess.

BtownJay · July 18th, 2005, 09:17 PM

Me too... did you ever figure out who was the fake Dan?

Shane · July 18th, 2005, 09:19 PM

Never did, and don't care anymore. I offered the info to the real Dan, and told him I would testify if he wanted to sue, but he declined. I do still have the real Dan's contacts, and that is all that matters. Especially now that he has a job again.

Yes, the pro athletes are just lining up to be interviewed, but they are being turned down.
