6 game suspension. I have mixed feelings on this? Glad he is being punished but at the price of his entire team??? Season is a wash for Steelers and they are not even in pre-season yet! I think Ben will be wearing a new uniform sooner than later!
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Maybe his team being pissed at him will knock some sense into him. Obviously 2 accusations and 2 investigations haven't done it. Plus it seems every day there are more accusations coming. To me he seems to have the "I'm a pro athlete and I'll do whatever I want, to whoever I want" attitude and this could be his last chance to wake the **** up.

There was no punitive action against the team at all. The suspension is for Rapistberger's own actions. Sure his team suffers, but it just places more emphasis on the fact that teams must draft/sign good citizens. Those that do not, will suffer. This is good for the league, good for the teams, and good for the fans.

He's a scumbag.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
