Look man...can we just chill. You really don't want to get into a pissing contest with me about education or life experience. I know you were a Navy guy and saw a ton of crap and I respect you for that. But just because I am a Democrat and like Obama doesn't mean I'm a moron...you just lose a lot of credibility with your odumbass stuff, but you hate him and cover it up by saying you love your country. Like I don't? Dems and Repubs can both "love their country", but I think even that saying is a bit much these days.

If they get rid of him......they BETTER get a top 10 pick!

[Danzig]

steelers are shopping him, but other teams were waiting to see how long he'd be benched. he can get the time off down to four games, but he needs to show a lot of effort to do that.

At the risk of touching off a political nuclear explosion it should be said nonetheless that there is something wrong about this concept of a second layer of double jeopardy justice fueled and dictated by an employer who sanctions when the police have walked away from prosecution of Ben's behavior never mind enforcement.

Obviously I do not know what Ben has done, with whom and how much of it qualifies as decadent and/or immoral. If I had better access to exactly what went on perhaps I would feel differently but I have a problem when a punishment is levied when our judicial system did not feel that the standard for punishment had been clearly violated enough for even a TRIAL, never mind a finding reached that deems punishment appropriate for discussion.



I actually wish Ben would walk away and retire immediately and let the Steelers and the Commish scramble to explain how this turned into a lifetime vacation from the game and theft from Steeler fans of a pretty decent QB.

6 Games... not even weeks... They've got a bye week 4

Though Godell may reduce it to 4 games if he behaves himself...

Im not trying to get into a pissing contest with you. I have no beef with you being a Democrat either. I have voted Democrat on numerous occasions. Just because I hate O'Bama doesn't mean I don't like this country. I do thank you for respecting the fact that I was in the Navy.

Doc,
Living in Pittsburgh and being a season ticket holder I have followed this story pretty closely, I disagree. Even though there was not enough evidence to convict him of a crime(this time) it does not mean his behavior would or should be tolerated by any employer. There are at least 3-4 other indiscretions that have been substantiated around town that seem to be within his realm of behavioral possibilities. When your alleged best pick-up move is to unzip your pants, expose yourself and say "do whatever you want", you are not representing your employer very well. There is a consistent pattern of sub-human behavior which casts your business in a bad way you have to do something.
I also wish he would walk away from the Steelers and retire. IMO if he walked away or was not a pro athlete he would already be in jail or beaten to a pulp. Either way he would not be a exposing himself or forcing himself on star struck college co-eds.

In a pathetic attempt to rerail this thread - ESPN reporting that Pittsburgh is shopping Big Ben for a top ten pick
