Ok here are my thoughts on the trade and the suspension.

#1 The suspension is right in line, and I heard on Sirius NFL radio it could go past 6 games if Ben fails to conform to the guide lines set forth by Rodger Goddell or the pyschologist gives a bad report to the NFL during his pyscho analysis. In my mind Ben is getting off easily. I do not know if any of you have followed the case reports, but I have as I. My mother was recently sexually assualted in her own home. A man knocked on the door, mother answered and he sexauly assaulted her in the first degree. She was the only one home and the perp was watching her for 3 days studying her habits. I can't tell you the anger I still feel just typing this.

They way the whole act went down is utterly sick, and it is more of a star player using his fame and also his feelings of invinsibility to get away with rape. Rather than using his star power to find a willing participant which I am sure there are plenty of them out there.

#2 The Steelers as a franchise and particulary the Rooney Family should get this guy of thier team. This is his second offense, and I am having a hard time beleiving that the incident that took place out west was in any way harmless, and it would seem that Ben is going down a very destructive path and picking up some extremely dangerous behavior. After the motorcycle wreck and 2 civil sexuall assault cases I would not want this asshole on my football team. I don't care how many superbowls this douche has won. YOU DON'T IN ANY WAY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WOMEN, BEAT WOMEN, OR SEXUALLY ABUSE WOMEN. This is a pathetic excuse of a man and a professional football player. I could go on but I will discontinue my rant on Ben. He isn't worth the time I have spent on the subject already.
