Goodell has had it out for the Steelers all year, from Harrison’s baseless fines to this last — and greatest — outrage. Suspend this guy now, he violated the conduct policy.

Detrimental to the league–can we suspend Goodell for this?

Right now, we all know that you can ‘run your mouth’. In about 5.5 days, we’ll all know if you are man enough to get up on that riser and present the Vince Lombardi Trophy to the Rooney Family, Mike Tomlin, Ben Roethlisberger, James Harrison, Hines Ward and the rest of the Seven-Time Super Bowl Champion Steeler Team.

I sincerely hope that with that hand-over, you are man enough to also offer up an apology to the entire Steeler Team, their Fans and, even more importantly, to Mr. Rooney who has faithfully stood by his team and his quarterback.

GO STEELERS!

PS – never forget how the victim in Georgia went to the police IMMEDIATELY after being assaulted.”

Actually her friends went immediately to the police. And when the police asked the alleged victim if she was raped, she said “No”. She was then asked if she had sex with Roethlisberger, and she said “I don’t know”. Don’t let the facts get in the way of your bais.

What gets me though is these morons (Peter King, Bill Simmons, etc etc etc) who keep saying that PigBen (and Michael Vick) are REDEEMING themselves because they are playing well. King was on PTI yesterday spouting that nonsense.

Good football playing does not forgive attrocious and illegal behavior – (unless you’re a Pitt fan of course)

And never forget that “victim” in Georgia had a full rape kit done……..which proved not only that her claim of “unprotected sex” false, but also proved that no sex even took place.

No he isn’t “way ahead of everyone”. Jay Glazer owns the NFL beat and Peter King is simply a lap dog for Roger Goodell. Glazer actually waits to confirm his info before dispensing it to the public. Peter King was Brett Favre’s personal media mouthpiece and Glazer still beat him to the punch on every single Favre story the last 3 years…….from helping the Lions game plan against the Packers to his arrival in Minnesota.

And just what the hell is Adolf Goodell doing interviewing players from OTHER teams in deciding Ben’s fate regarding an alleged event that had nothing to do with football? And then what’s he doing divulging that so-called information to the media? Just proves Goodell’s “investigation” was nothing more than simply caving to the media witch hunt.

BR becomes upright citizen with his public image.

King and Goodie talk about the BR the week of the team’s biggest game, and this time bringing in his teammates.

Classless act by Goodie and King.

but you can’t talk about the refs . . .

Do they even have a framework in place for verifying stories? Perhaps rules? Ethics??

Peter King knew exactly what he was doing when he leaked that quote from Roger Ramjet — driving up interest in his upcoming column. He can feign embarrassment and ignorance all he wants — cat’s out of the bag and he knows it. Just like he planned.

As I said before, a clever ass, but an ass nonetheless.

And PFT, by enabling this kind of slapdash reporting, is no better.

PS – never forget how the victim in Georgia went to the police IMMEDIATELY after being assaulted.

I sit this morning drinking my coffee trying to think of anything Goodell had done that I respect. Standing strong against steroids. No wait, he just continued policies brought forth by Tagliabue.

Nope, can’t think of anything.

My question is: why did it take so long to clarify the remarks?
MMQB was posted online before 7am. At a certain point, it was the feature story on si.com. Ben and other Steelers were commenting on it throughout the day. A clarification didn’t come until close to 10pm. King, Goodell, and SI lost a lot of face in my book today. News outlets should be fair/balanced. Goodell should maintain confidentiality in scenarios like this. But this isn’t how things work in the real world.
