Well, sure, but BR is actually a Wigger, ain't he? Here is his anthem:

Why don't you be the one to tell him that. Go ahead. I dare you. Rogers might either squash you or shoot you.

(like I said though, I am surprised. I was expecting 4 games)

OH NOW IT'S A RACE THING!!!!! I guess somebody had to go there. Thanks for that.

I'm with you on this & thinking he'll be playing in the opener. This is an IMMEDIATE lift for our D. I wonder whether or not they'll insert him at DE early this year. I guess we'll have to wait & see.

Seriously... STFU.....

My point is that he was not found guilty, but was given a suspension as though he was. Where as the others were guilty and get off without a suspension. I don't understand Goodell's logic. That is all.

I think Goodell is doing a great job! He is hitting these players hard for things that the NFL should not tollerate. I have to believe that he had much more information on what Big Ben was up to then we all did. And beyond that Ben had repeated allegations. Rape is serious. And as much as Vick's actions with the dogfighting sickens me, If Ben was guilty (and we may never know if he was) then you would have to say that Vick is the one who got the raw deal by the Commish. So we could look at this any number of ways. But the bottom line is that the commish is not putting up with any crap from players and making them think twice about what they are doing off of the field. In my book that is a great thing. Kids look up to these players. Whether or not they should is always a debate, but they do, and the commish is aware of that and doesn't want these guys screwing up off of the field.

As for Rogers not getting suspended. He has a permit for the gun so the only thing that was illegal is that he forgot and had it in the airport. There is no harmful intent to someone else. It seems like again he had more information then us and maybe saw it for what it really was. A small mistake. At least I would classify a legal gun in an illegal place by accident as a small mistake.

Chris Henry, Pac-Man Jones, Vick, Big Ben, Illegal drug use, domestic violence, rape, inhumane treatment of animals, gambling...... It seems like these are the things that the commish is most concerned with. All things that can hurt the individual player or other people. Rogers actions did not cause any harm, nor did he intend to cause any harm. (or so it seems) Just all my opinion but it seems this is the distinction. He got fined just like Suh should get fined for his mistake on the football field. A mistake in judgement that wasn't intended to cause harm.

I'm sure the Gipper will find things to disagree with in this post, but I believe that to the commish "INTENT" is a big big factor when it comes to him deciding punishment.

If he did, then he deserves more than just a punishment from the NFL.

Shitsmypantsberger gets two accusations and gets a major suspension.

I'm not standing up for the guy. I just believe Goodell is a joke at commish. I'd be pissed to if I were a squeelers lover.

If rothlisburger actually raped someone he got much less than he deserved. Wow, suspended 4-6 games for rape, yeah that is a tough sentence to deal with

I agree with mostly everything you said except Goodell is far from a joke.. well, if he is a joke then what does that make Stern and Selig?

Had it been any one of us, we would have ended up getting fined. I doubt anybody would do jail time unless there was more reason than a screw up, nor do I think most would have been terminated or suspended from work.

All I can say is: C'est la vie.

@clevelandfanforlife said:

I hate to admit it, but Worthlessberger got a raw deal. Vick doesn't get suspended being in places he shouldn't have where there was gun violence (not his first offense), Rogers gets busted, Cedric Benson punches someone, Vince Young punches someone... and no suspension.

I am quite surprised...even shocked if that is true. I mean, he was carrying a loaded weapon in an airport and he was charged with a criminal offense...though he did do a pretrial diversion program. Will wonders never cease?
