I LOOOOVE how many hipocrites we have on BGR. Given the oppurtunity, EVERY SINGLE unmarried man on this site would do what he done. Sit there and deny it all you want, but YOU WOULD DO IT IF GIVEN THE OPPURTUNITY. You walk into a bar full of college girls throwing themselves at you, and I would bet my life on it that you wouldnt turn it down. Yeah he bought them drinks, so what. Thats what college girls do. Come out from under that rock you all are living under. Call what he done disgusting all you want, but he was never charged. He was never arrested, and he was never convicted. If it was all so concrete, the Ga prosecuters would have made a case and tried to convict him. But they had NOTHING. Call him an embarrassment all you want as well. But Ill bet you a cold one that YOUR FAVORITE players on YOUR FAVORITE team does the EXACT same thing when they go out. And guess what? THEY DO GO OUT. Again, its the Steeler-hating court of public opinion that got him punished by the league, which is garbage. Santonio Holmes got four games. Everybody else is getting four games. I wish Ben would scream race. I would find that incredibly amusing.

Ben was ordered to undergo a comprehensive behavioral evaluation. Goodell will look at Roethlisberger's progress before the season and might consider reducing the suspension to four games.
All of us may have done the same thing but all of us are not under the same employment contracts that he willingly signed. If my employer wants to discipline me because of behavior unbecoming my position they can. They could suspended me or even fire me. The league has a very public policy if you bring disgrace to the league you get suspended. Do it again the suspension increases do it a third time you're out. (See Odell Thurman)

"The Personal Conduct Policy makes clear that I may impose discipline 'even where the conduct does not result in conviction of a crime' as, for example, where the conduct 'imposes inherent danger to the safety and well being of another person,' " Goodell stated in his letter to Roethlisberger.
