bluenews Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Link That's heavy but could be reduced! He could go cheap?? Anyone interested
JustMaxx Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Said it on sportscenter a few minutes ago Crap, when do we play the steelers?
Bufcomments Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Love da bootay pic BTW, Yea but I think he can reduce it by 2 games with good behavoir.
CodeMonkey Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Crap, when do we play the steelers? Nov 28. Unless he does something else stupid there is no way he is out for us.
Lori Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 what's good behavior? Not raping anyone for the next three months? Good one. Turning serious, I'm guessing the "conditional" part includes evaluation and treatment (including counseling) in the substance-abuse program.

ieatcrayonz Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 That's harsh. 4-6 games is a lot of money. And the only thing the woman has to deal with is a lifetime of fear and memories of violation. That's not money. Poor Ben.

stuckincincy Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Sorry if it's already been posted - they signed Leftwitch yesterday. http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true
scribo Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 If that's it, then it's a joke. It's, in effect, a two-game suspension. I have a feeling that if the Steelers don't trade him, they're going to come out with a punishment along the lines of X additional games suspended above what the NFL ultimately does. Not two games. The reports are that it will be an NFL suspension of six games that could be reduced by two games down to four.
Booster4324 Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Good one. Turning serious, I'm guessing the "conditional" part includes evaluation and treatment (including counseling) in the substance-abuse program. Good call (close) on the 6 games bit. I hope you are right about the bolded.
Lori Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Good call (close) on the 6 games bit. I hope you are right about the bolded. As I said, I wouldn't have put money on it without knowing the original source, but I do trust my friend. And once I started hearing "conditional" -- see: Vick -- I'm thinking that counseling/rehab/etc. has to be in there somewhere.
scribo Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 I saw this flying around Twitter: Note that the Steelers have five games that will be on national TV, but not one in the first six weeks. The first actually is in Week Eight.
Malazan Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 That's harsh. 4-6 games is a lot of money. And the only thing the woman has to deal with is a lifetime of fear and memories of violation. That's not money. Poor Ben. Nothing makes up for losing money. I hope he gets counseling to help him deal with his loss.
CodeMonkey Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 I admit this is far more extreme that I would have guessed. Particularly when originally I thought since there was no arrest for lack of evidence he wouldn't be punished at all. It makes me wonder though, if he had say been in a bar fight or accused of something other than rape, would Sir Roger have given this big of a suspension? Particularly considering that to my knowledge BR has never been suspended before. Rape is such that even a accusation can bring about strong feelings and reactions from people (obviously, just read the various threads here).
