@pokerpro7s …
The Steelers had disciplinary problems during Noll’s reign and during Cowher’s. This is nothing new. It just happens to involve two name players at once.
Holmes threw a drink at a woman, he didn’t rob a liquor store. I’m not excusing it–it’s appalling. But every team has someone on the roster who’s been in trouble for something similar.
Roethlisberger had a one-niter with a Nevada hotel employee. A year later she sued for $3 million claiming rape. Everything presented so far in that case indicates it’s an extortion attempt. Since he didn’t do that, it makes me skeptical that he assaulted anyone in Georgia–especially since that woman also immediately hired a civil litigator. So far PFT has run a lot of rumors and stories about Ben being rude. But the only facts released by the police are that the girl is not accusing him of rape and there was no semen on her person. Ben has never been charged with a crime.
From a PR standpoint and for the good of their players, I’m sure the Steelers will aggressively address behavioral issues. But everything really does look more alarming than it is.

Ok, I’ve been holding back but I’m gonna be the first to say this. Despite Tomlin’s reputation as a “tough” coach I’m starting to wonder if this recent barrage of disciplinary problems might be related to him. I’m just saying, I don’t remember this sort of thing happening when Cowher was coach because he would have never stood for it and probably put the fear of God into his players if they ever got out of line.

Rooney knows the cost of paying the ref’s to win a Superbowl, he is just getting around to the real cost of drafting thugs, criminals and rapists.

@Steeler-lady hahah come up in my house uninvited and see how FREE You are.LOL Anyway……………………………………..
Just exactly how is the VIP room Holmes’ ‘house’? To my knowledge he doesn’t own the place- therefore he has no more right to it that anyone else who is lucky enough to be considered a VIP.
And don’t worry about me, I don’t like skank so I would never be up in your house.

@Steeler-lady
“Holmes then allegedly ‘threw his entire glass cup…’”
In her lawsuit against Steelers receiver Santonio Holmes, Anshoenoe Mills alleges that the Orlando Police Department failed to prepare a formal police report after Mills complained to an officer that Holmes threw a” drink” that cut her under the eyebrow.

@Sourdough …
In the Roethlisberger situation, if he’d been charged, tried, and convicted, it wouldn’t matter. We could all agree he was a heinous person, and team allegiance would be irrelevant. That isn’t the case. Strip away gossip, innuendo, and the repeated posting of material supplied by one unnamed source, and here’s what’s left:
A single 26-year-old guy went to a Nevada golf tournament and had sex in a hotel room with a hotel employee a few years older than him. No one alleges alcohol was involved. A year later she claimed it was rape and sued for $3 million. All evidence presented so far refutes her story.
A single guy celebrating his 28th birthday went bar-hopping with some friends and met up with students in their early 20s. A girl in the group later alleged he “sexually manipulated” her though no official has said how. The police say it wasn’t rape and there was no semen on her. A TV station quoted an unnamed source saying he “admitted” a consensual sex act/head injury. That story has never been confirmed.
Based on this, there’s no reason to hold him accountable, suspend him, or shred his reputation. He has never been charged with a crime and no evidence has been presented that he has broken the law. Being an occasional jackass to fans isn’t illegal. So when people demand everything from suspension to counseling to jail, yeah, you can’t help wondering what ax they have to grind.

@AllThat: What a stand up guy you are.. Didn’t your daddy ever tell you not to talk to a lady like that? Just keep on showing everyone what a piece of trash you are, apparently you have nothing better to do than talk $hit on an anonymous message board. Good job though, you’re the best at internetting in your moms basement, congratulations!

hayward giapunchmi: It matters not whose NFL team posters on this site root for when the subject of the article is about yet another Steelers player having a run-in w. the law. Please tell me why the team they follow has anything to do w. Ben, Santonio, Harrison or any other number of Steelers players being written about due to their law-breaking behavior off the field. I’m sure it isn’t fun having ‘your’ team being cast in an unfavorable light for its many recent brushes w. the law but such is life when Steelers players break the law. Unless the Steelers front office starts holding players accountable (not just 2nd/3rd team players), I suspect we’ll see more of the same in the weeks and months to come.

I heard that although the person who threw the glass is still unsubstantiated, an examination of the girl’s face revealed the presence of Ben Roethlisberger’s DNA.

Damn, if the NFL really wants to discipline their players, forget the courts and jail time.
Like they should have done with Burress, just sentence them to play for the Browns for 2 years.
That’s far worse than prison.

“# Matt says: March 29, 2010 12:24 PM
What team are you a fan of?”
I was just saying the same thing over on Steelers-Bashing-Post-of-the-Day #57.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who has noticed this but, it seems that every time some idiot posts one of these hit-n-run schoolyard insults they fail to mention who THEIR team is.
And when challenged to do so, they run and hide.
Why is that?

funi says: This party girl wants MONEY!!! When Holmes told her to leave, she should have left! What was her blood alchol level and what is her age!!!
First off, no one knows at this point what happened but if some ahole tells me to leave without merit- I’m not leaving, no way, it is a free country after all.
Secondly, you and Steeler-lady need to stop posting on here b/c you are only adding to the demise of the Steeler’s rep. Leave the posting to decent fans like Deb, etc. who seem to have some ability to be logical and not completely biased.
