Roethlisberger suspended 4-6 games

[WG5516]

Pittsburgh has begun contacting teams to trade Ben Roethlisberger for a top 10 pick. At least one team considering it. Story far from done.

Per Schefter.

WHOOOA!

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.

probably be determined by the circumstances. if foster was out drinking and has double digit statements that he was wasted, buying young girls shots and flashing people, my guess is he'll be gone for the year if not forever.

teams take chances on guys like big ben.. a back up dl gets file 13'd.

I'm impressed. They did that to the all mightly Steelers. I will be completely blown away if he actually ends up with a six game suspension.

Of course, thats only what half what Wade Wilson got and he was only trying to improve his sex life with his wife? (I believe anyhow, can't remember exactly)

 

[SaltwaterServr]

nope. it could be years. just you not see the vick suspension?

the commish has a ton of power. he has suspended a lot of guys.

The Vick suspension was for only 2 games I thought. Technically he wasn't suspended from the league while he was in prison, to the best of my recollection.

 

[Dough Boy]

I am shocked.

I'm not. Think about it. The steelers don't start thier "nationally televised" games until week 7. Right when ben comes back. NFL loves the steelers.

 

[Yeagermeister]

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

First time isn't announced
Second time is 4 games
Third time is 1 season
After that it's up to the league I believe

Unless someone is convicted of an offense, or heck, goes to court over the offense I could care less. Godell needs to step down, he's a dictator. All I want to do is watch football, I could care less what the players do on their off time as long as it's not criminal. And no Ben hasn't done anything criminal since he has not been convicted in a court of law.

I believe when I see it, I know the Mr. Rooneys is pissed but to trade Big Ben?

 

[Cajuncowboy]

Who the hell is Godell? :laugh2:

btw, I'm guessing you partake in this type of activities? Maybe you should be suspended too!

6 games

If it's knocked down to four games, that's why they have a bye during week 5, to get Big Ben some practice time.

I think 6 games is too light myself, but glad he got something.
