Talk is even if the charges against Ben are thrown out or the girl recants that Goodell would still discipline Roethlisberger. If so, that would be the most ridiculous suspension ever. You can't suspend someone just because they like to party with younger girls. I would hope that Ben would fight it hard with lawyers and take Roger to the woodshed.
It only a few years Goodell has become my least favorite commissioner ever.

It's kind of amazing how Goodell surpassed Selig so quickly in terms of unlikability, but he's done it.
Then again, if he suspends Roethlisberger for a Browns game then he's AOK in my book.

just because someone isn't being prosecuted for something, doesn't mean they're not tarnishing the reputation of the league.
i believe all contracts have clauses in there that give the commish this type of leeway.

How is he tarnishing it though? He hooked up with a girl who later had "buyer's remorse'"? (assuming he's innocent).
I mean....being suspended for that seems inappropriate.

first time, sure. but this song's been played before. that's where the whole tarnishing image thing comes in, i think.
