4 games ban at minimum, 6 games max depending on he acts.

I think it's a big harsh considering the case was dropped in court. I would've personally given him a 1-2 game ban.

I'm really up in the air as to whether he committed the crime in question. I have read the entire police report and heard all the reports. I don't think we'll ever know if it's true or not, only the involved parties will. It's really shady on both sides.
Thing is though, even if he is innocent of rape, which it seems he is, at least legally, he was getting a bunch of 19 and 20 year olds drunk in public and got caught.
Plus the embarrasment this has brought to the league and organization is pretty bad.

According to Chris Mortensen on ESPN, Ben has a long list of "incidents" that including situations the public isn't even aware of. This apparently cuts far deeper than this one situation in Georgia.

Wow. If it's all 6, that pretty much ends the Steelers season - all for a Girls Gone Wild moment by Ben.

Seriously though, what normal single mid 20's guy hasn't tried to get 19/20 yr olds drunk? They're more fun, often hotter, and don't have marriage or baby making on the brain like women Ben's age.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but what Big Ben allegedly did went way beyond getting a girl drunk.

I only work in allegory.


Anyone who puts GGW in a post is clearly in sarcasm mode.

marvelous ruling by goodell, although I wouldve given him 10 games

Should've suspended him for half a season and just left it at that.

There goes the Steelers season. Unless the defense can return to their year 2005 selves.

I haven't even seen the Mortensen report, but a friend and I were discussing this and I had brought that up that I thought there had to be a long list of incidents that the public weren't aware of, probably related to drunken debauchery and douchebaggery, and that this was the last straw even if the girl making these accusations was lying or at least stretching the truth.

I'm sorry but what kind of mid 20's professional athlete goes to small college towns and bar hops for college girls. This guy should be banging super models not dumb sorority bitches who an average college guy gets to bone plenty of times.

Very true.

A little crude but I agree. And that's Big Ben's problem--he's a 14-year old dumba$$ horndogger surrounded by sycophants who enable him to live and act like one.

I'm still up in the air on the suspension. It seems like an awful steep penalty for not being charged, but I'm aware of some of what Mort is referring to and if some of those are true he got off real light. Interesting to see how Ben handles it.

10 games...? are you kidding me? its not like the guys killed some one i think 4-6 games is ok for him the get. he will learn and the steelers will feel it. But hey what a good way for someone like Denis Dixson to make a bigger name for him self and take this opportunity to show the Steelers he can play

You're right, it's not like he killed someone. It was only rape.

My friends have seen him at bars at Miami Ohio and say hes a total creep trying to get on the drunkest girls basically.
