Comments on: Steelers suspend Ta’amu two weeks, Polamalu out this week http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/10/16/steelers-suspend-taamu-two-weeks-polamalu-out-this-week/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Tue, 21 May 2013 15:50:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: footballfan http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/10/16/steelers-suspend-taamu-two-weeks-polamalu-out-this-week/#comment-2066632 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 12:27:50 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1418016#comment-2066632 I decided to look at the police blotter and see how many players that have been arrested are still with the team. Maybe all the rest of the Steeler haters need to do the same. Its a pretty damn long list of starters that are on it, and none of them play for Pittsburgh. Maybe we all should look a little bit harder at out teams of choice before bashing anyone.

At least Hines is a happy drunk…

That’s a very bad example, but at least they did something. Most teams wouldn’t have done anything at all except leave it up to the League to punish and then pretend to accept it graciously.

This guy is going to jail.

His arraignment is in two weeks. That’s why the suspension is short. Coming out of that he’ll get more from the team or league.

He will most likely not play a down for Pittsburgh after the whole process sorts itself out, but in the meantime it’s an opportunity for the trolls to sing their song.

He was driving dangerously around the 17th to 14th blocks of Carson and Sarah Street. He not only ran but easily knocked out a Pittsburgh officer, and resisted the arrest in an obscene manner. Die hard Steeler fan here, but this guy needs to be out of the league.

I thought they could only cut a player and that all discipline related to a players availability for games was up to the Commissioners Office? Did something change in the new CBA?

And don’t forget you recently honored jamal lewis after he just filed bankruptcy and couldn’t feed his kids or properly secure them in a carseat. Guess the steelers way, as you so eloquently put it, is also the ravens way.

Everyone flipping out about this being too short can calm down it’ll end up being longer. Innocent until proven guilty and whatnot.

The team needs to get this guy out of pittsburgh. The community shouldn’t be in danger because of its football roster. As a long time Steeler fan, I’ve accepted that our defense is going to look like crap on the field this year; don’t let it look like crap off the field, too.

Granted, there were drastically different circumstances. It’s just funny how hypocritical teams can be.

Don’t suspend the contributors; make examples of the underlings.

(Marijuana and was suspended by the league not the Vikings)
Make a statement and suspend the kid 8 games. Has he even played this year yet?
