I'm not. The NFL isn't playing around with this stuff anymore. I know it's the Steelers but...

And Dang, I posted this thread in the wrong zone!

Don't know. If he was asking for a link I posted it.

Goodie. Eric Foster, a back-up d-lineman for the Colts was accused for sexual assault earlier. I wonder how many games Goodell will suspend him if the woman pursues criminal charges.

ESPN now talking about Steelers trying to unload Roethlisberger for a top ten pick in the draft.

Who would do that? If this is true, (Not doubting you heard this) everyone knows the Steelers would be desperate to unload him and the baggage that comes with him. At this point they would be lucky to get a 2nd for him. Unless they are talking to Al Davis.

And then wouldn't that be a pretty picture?

I speculated that the Rams may give them the first pick of Day 2 for him.

Crazy Al may go for it.

Is it conditional, like Vick's was? If so, probably only be 2 games.

 

[Smith22]

I thought the maximum possible suspension was 4 games?

I hope he is traded to the Raiders. Love to see Pittsburgh trying to find another QB.

Nope. As long as the Commissioner decides. The four game thing is what you get for a second violation of the banned substance policy.

You realize this was the second time and right after one big blow up already. Plus the evidence does not look good in the public eye about Rothlisberger

Has the dlinemen been arrested or charges files then no he want get suspended now if it happens again then yes he can and it will also depend on the facts from the case.

i thought it was the third time you where busted unless it is performance enhancing (ie Steroids of any type) then it is automatically 4 games
