Didn't he also say "Anquan Rolle"? Or was it "Antwan Rolle"?

Charge to EEOC accuses Bill Maas of sexual harassment
ST. LOUIS -- A bartender at America's Pub in suburban St. Louis claims that one of the bar's owners _ Fox Sports commentator and longtime Kansas City Chiefs player Bill Maas _ sexually harassed her, the woman's attorney said Monday.
Lauren Risley, 22, filed a charge of discrimination with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on April 26. She quit her job in March, about two months after the alleged incident.
"She wants to make sure this kind of stuff just doesn't happen," Risley's attorney, Richard Banks, said. "She told management, 'I wasn't raped, but I might has well have been.'"
Maas' attorney, Kevin Regan, of Kansas City, denied any wrongdoing and said his client is considering a lawsuit against Risley.
"Bill Maas is a good man with an unblemished reputation in our community," Regan said. "We will do everything necessary to protect that reputation and take whatever measures the law allows against those who attempt to tarnish it."
Ira Blank, attorney for America's Pub, said the "Pub's position is that the allegations are not true and that we intend to cooperate fully with the EEOC."
Risley was working alone in the bar's VIP room on Jan. 27. Among those in the room were Maas and the bar's other co-owners, Greg Dill and George Kauffman. Blank said Dill and Kauffman left the pub before the alleged incident.
Banks said Maas was drinking heavily and propositioned Risley and made lewd comments. As the night wore on, Banks said, Maas touched the woman inappropriately, including putting his hand down the back of her pants, even followed her into the stall of the ladies' room.
Because Risley was working alone in an isolated area, she used her cell phone's text messaging to alert a manager, Banks said. "I REALLY NEED TO TALK TO YOU," she wrote. "I"M NOT IN A GOOD PLACE."
Risley contacted Maryland Heights police but never sought criminal charges.
Risley said in her filing with the EEOC that she was harassed and suffered retaliation after complaining. Risley, who is scheduled to graduate in December from Harris-Stowe University with a degree in marketing, was a part-time bartender. Still, she frequently made $700 a week because she often worked Friday and Saturday nights.
After the incident, Banks said, she was given less-lucrative shifts such as Tuesdays and Thursdays, prompting her to quit in March.
Regan gave a different account. He said Risley was friendly with Maas, even text-messaging him at one point, "I don't want you to leave here without me tonight." Regan has hired a private investigator to look into the events of that night.
"Our investigation thus far reveals these allegations are unfounded, according to witnesses that were there on that night," he said.
EEOC lawyer Robert Johnson said the agency does not comment on cases until they are resolved.
Maas, 44, spent nine seasons as a nose tackle with the Kansas City Chiefs and one season with Green Bay. He was selected for the Pro Bowl in 1986 and 1987

Yep, wrong team, and Dansby wasn't even active for that game, I don't even think the guy wore Dansby's number, I'm blanking it might have been Brandon Moore.
