Yeah, thats what I always find funny in these situations. People are so quick to say, "oh he's completely changed" or "he's done everything asked of him". Can a person really change in two months - or can a person really prove they've changed in the two months that someone is watching their every move? Just doesn't seem that difficult to me. And, "everything asked" means, not committed another crime? You know, like most of the rest of us have done our whole lives.

I understand he was never charged with anything, but if that was the only basis then he shouldn't have been suspended to begin with and we wouldn't be talking about this.

"Fat Boy" got 4 games and he'll be unavailable to visit the Steelers facility until the bye week.

When he's criminally charged AND convicted of rape, that question has meaning. As of now, it doesn't.

I figured they would try to get it reduced, but I doubt it will happen. The commish has always been strict on these things that give the NFL a "black eye".

Much as I don't care for Ben or the Steelers he should have it reduced which he did. If there is a next time then he should get 2x the punishment.

Yea like:
Carrying a loaded gun into an airport- felony
Assualt and Battery- Benson
Assualt and Battery- Vince Young
Murder- Ravens have 2 of them

Oh no, he's found "God......."












At least until the heat is off of him and he decides to get busy in Burger King bathrooms again. :D

Ben is one of the faces of the NFL...these other guys are not. I am not saying it is right, but a high profile guy is going to be in more trouble.....wait, why am I arguing with Capone?

Exactly. If you Cleveland fans can't even admit that Goodell is less than consistent in how he deals out punishment...well then....you are Cleveland fans so I'm not surprised.
