I think this is absolute BS...get ready to do this to EVERY player that now goes to a bar and hooks up with ladies. If I am Big Ben I would challenge this.

Re: Big Ben out 4-6
Yeah, total BS. It's BS that after 6 weeks without pay, Ben can go back to earning millions.Originally posted by Tony Oday
not only has Ben ruined the life of his victim, the cop also lost his job over the incident, not to mention his bodyguard, who is a trooper, is under investigation for his part in the incident.
It's also BS for the Rooney family and every Steelers fan with a Roethlisberger jersey.
Sorry Tony, you're a great poster and I really enjoy your posts, but we see this differently. Ben deserves to be thrown out of the league and sued to pay back the Rooney's their bonus money.Comment

I'm thinking, if this thread doesn't turn football sprecific shortly, it will get moved to Romper Room. There's already a Big Ben thread raging in there.
So, what will the Steelers do without their Franchise QB for 25% to 40% of their season?Comment

The Steelers have begun contacting teams to trade Ben Roethlisberger for a top-10 pick, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
This confirms yesterday's report from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and takes it a step further. Schefter says the Steelers are the ones being proactive, and there is at least one team considering a deal. It's starting to look like a real possibility that Roethlisberger will be serving his 4-6 game suspension somewhere other than Pittsburgh.

Re: Big Ben out 4-6
Look how many people have slept around and NEVER been accused of this. Ben's already been accused of sexual assault twice. He's either sexually assaulting these girls or treating them like absolute crap and bordering right on the edge of assault. I tend to think the latter. There's an outisde chance he found two gold digging liars, but that seems so remote and slim that I won't even consider it.Originally posted by Tony Oday
The NFL, the Steelers organization. It's a privilege to be a part of them, NOT a right. This isn't the law. If he was convicted of a crime for his sleezy actions, I'd be sort of outraged too. If the NFL suspends him, they have the right to whatever conduct policy they choose and if they think being a sleeze ball, is enough to suspend a guy, then Ben can go find a different job where being a sleeze ball is OK. I would have liked to seen a year. That way he's out of football for a year, and hopefully his career and financial well being is ruined. As far as I'm concerned, he did it to himself.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

We do see different on this one...and I usually never go to Romper Room so if this post needs to be deleted rock on.
I think he is a D bag for sure, if I am related to the girl in question I want blood.
What I dont like about this is that a girl made an accusation that she cannot back up and this guy almost loses his job. I have no problem with what he did in the abstract...DH thing to do YES, Creepy as all H YES...slimy H YES...HOWEVER how did his conduct at the bar violate the NFLs oh so stringent code of conduct? Making it rain at a club, the countless things we have heard about the love boat and the arctic blast, just two examples of the Vikes (sorry Rastak), and how many weeks were guys suspended? NONE all that happened was a one game check fine to Smoot and Mckinnie!
Sorry I think this guy should be beat no doubt but the facts do not support the punishment all it turned out to be is an accusation.Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

What annoys me about the Schefter tweet is that some owners are prepared to give this scumbag a chance.
Obviously, Green Bay would never be considered a trade partner in this, but if they were, I'd feel it was a slap in my face as a fan. One of the things that really attract me to the Packers is the value they put on character.
This isn't like Koren Robinson (remember how irrate the Vikings fans were about him?). This isn't a codeine cocktail (Jolly). This isn't about carrying a concealed weapon or a bar room brawl.
This is dispicable and ruined at least 2 people's lives mid term.
So, keeping a football spin on this post, I can turn the other cheek and try and excuse a lot of things as immaturity, stupidity and give someone a second chance. I was all for giving Koren a second chance and last I heard he was doing a lot better in life because of it.
I wouldn't want to be a fan of a club that employs sexual offenders.Comment

I wouldnt want him here because I really don't think he is a game changing QB. I like "Packer" people you know? Guys that my son can watch and I dont have to explain why they are on Fox Sports and Fox News you know?Originally posted by Tarlam!
This all being said the Vikings should take him and ditch Favre. I mean for what theasking price is for a "franchise" QB and the history of the Queens this would solve a long standing problem for the purple...I hope they DONT do it but I would if I was ChiliSwede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

Only problem with your post, Tarlam, is that you don't know that he ruined their lives or if they put themselves there and then were mad at him for being such a jerk.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

So what does this do to the Steelers? If they are shopping Big Ben then they have conceded that this year is a losing season? How pissed are you if you are a Steeler?Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

True, and the cop was supposedly a jerk, so he brought it upon himself. As to the girl - actions speak louder than words and her actions after the event speak volumes to me. BR is a sexual predater and I wouldn't want him in the NFL let alone in Green Bay.Originally posted by JustinHarrell
If Chilli takes Tony Oday's advice and does indeed trade for him, I will have a reason to want them to fail miserably.Comment
