Comments on: The Big Ben Clock: Half Past Horny http://pickingpros.com/blog/nfl/the-big-ben-clock-half-past-horny/ Unleashing the power of statistics to give the best predictions for every situation.

The NFL should throw the book at him for "Conduct not conducive to a football player". After all football players sprint full speed at each other and drill each other into the ground. Football players poke each other in the eye and ear holes and bend fingers back whenever there's a pileup over a loose ball. Football players launch profanity laced tirades at each other and the officials. And they do all these things and more in front of crowds of 80,000 rabid fans who are there to watch them do exactly that. So the NFL is right. If Roethlisberger had displayed "Conduct conducive to a football player", there would be no he-said-she-said. The girl would be half dead, covered with bruises, and 80,000 people would have seen it go down. Instead there is no evidence, no witnesses and all this girl has is a very questionable story with sketchy details. Funny. Such is the hypocracy of the NFL, the modern day slave trade. "Fight, kill and be a savage for us and we'll pay you millions. But if someone so much as starts a rumor about you off the field, we'll blackball you." I guess the NFL realizes that when its players assault people off the field, they can't profit off of it. Shame on you Big Ben... Good points. The NFL should throw the book at him for “Conduct not conducive to a football player”. After all football players sprint full speed at each other and drill each other into the ground. Football players poke each other in the eye and ear holes and bend fingers back whenever there’s a pileup over a loose ball. Football players launch profanity laced tirades at each other and the officials. And they do all these things and more in front of crowds of 80,000 rabid fans who are there to watch them do exactly that.

Regardless if he's not guilty of sexual assault, how do you permit yourself to get in this situation twice during the course of less than a 12 months. The Steelers need to make a serious choice concerning whether they really want him to still be the face of the business. It is a huge problem for one of the quality organizations within the NFL.
