Rapelisberger to receive 4-6 game ban to start 2010 season

[Dos Equis]

apparently you guys don't watch espn

E

I watch ESPN every day.  I haven't heard anyone talk about race. 

[Dos Equis]

here's one, become an espn insider and you can watch their recent shows mentioning race

if that's not enough for you, do your own homework

and yes when the media talks about race, it becomes a race issue

Who cares what this guy thinks?  And if you actually read the article you'll see the two guys who quoted (Barkley and Brown) both said these suspensions are not about race. 

[Dos Equis]

Actually, I think the Roger Goodell is the best commissioner the NFL has ever had.


Bottom line, playing in the NFL is a PRIVILIGE, not a right. If you fuck up, there are consequences. End of story.


Not sure I understand all the discussion in this thread about race and politics and what it has to do with anything.


Goodell made the right ruling, in my opinion. And it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a Ravens fan, either.

Yeah.  Completely agree.

the first womans coworkers claimed she was hoping to have a "little roethlisberger"

i already told you what the second skank did, and from what i hear ben laughed when he got semen in her hair and that really pissed her off, she had to "get him back"

no conviction, no arrest, no trial (unlike ray lewis who i don't think was suspended) once again people are listening to one side of the story and believing every word

Read the incident report....

And the fact that the DA kept calling the woman "the victim", repeatedly, instead of "the accuser" in the public statement, speaks volumes

They just traded for Leftwich. 

[Mr Nobody]

They just traded for Leftwich. 

looks like the Browns will beat them this year.

Who is playing QB for the Browns? 

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

I can't wait to watch the draft. How great would it be if Roger Goodell steps to the podium and announces, " We have a trade between the St. Louis Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers......"

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

Who is playing QB for the Browns? 

Delhomme

[Mr Nobody]

Delhomme

A bum for sure.

[Dos Equis]

Delhomme

Thanks.  Forgot about that.  He had trouble getting the ball to Steve Smith the last couple years.  Can't see how things will improve for him in Cleveland.   

[tonymctones]

delhomme is a decent qb defintly better than either of the 2 they had starting last year

and I agree about goodell my main beef is with him trying to get more games on the NFL network...all games should be free and broadcasted on regular television...

Don't even get me started on that crap.

It's all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. The sooner you come to terms with that, the sooner you'll get over it.

screw that...its gay and those fuks make enough as it is

[tonymctones]

hahahahh its OFFICIAL he is suspended for 6 games

[2ND COMING]

A little harsh, but pretty much warranted imo

way too much negative press for the league.

Lol at "rapelisberger"

[tonymctones]

Been watching espn since you mentioned the race bull shit earl havent heard one word about race...

[tonymctones]

Lol at "rapelisberger"

I agree its a tad harsh but I dont see one thing wrong with it tbo...act like an idiot get treated like one...

[body88]

Goodel has been clear.... He's out to protect the image of the NFL, period.

Ben is an idiot, and the negative press that he's brought to the sport and to his franchise are the reason that he's been suspended. Clearly he didn't learn from the first time he was accused of rape. This IDIOT is in the middle of Georgia, following 20 year old sluts into the bathroom at some random shithole bar...after he beat the first rape charge. Ben deserves this; what a fucking idiot.

I bet the Rooneys would have suspended him for at least 4 games.

It's been said the Rooney's pushed Goodell {not that he needed it} to take a tough stance with Ben.

You're right.... and Shefter just tweeted that the Steelers have talked to several teams about trading Ben. What an idiot this guy is.

This is the second time this idiot had been accused of rape.

He's out being a sloppy fuck, following 20 year old girls into bathrooms, and acting like a shitbag in general. Goodel has every right to suspend this idiot for bringing negative press to the NFL and to his team.

The Rooneys are trying to trade Ben according to Shefter. That say it all.
