Even if the Pittsburgh Steelers trade Ben Roethlisberger sooner rather than later, it won’t change the bottom line. Quicker than you can say Bill Belichick, Spygate and cover-up in the same sentence, the grassy knoll lives again in the NFL.
This is a conspiracy for two reasons: the silly length of Roethlisberger’s suspension and the highly suspicious timing of it all.
I mean, just four to six games?
What a joke. What’s more laughable is to hear those applauding NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for his toughness. You have others grumbling that the punishment was too severe, but here’s the truth: Eight games to a year was more appropriate for a player accused of rape twice within nine months. He also stiff-armed orders from former Steelers coach Bill Cowher in 2006 by riding a motorcycle, and then the helmet-less quarterback nearly died in a crash.
If nothing else, courtesy of those other suspensions by Goodell — ranging from eight games for Tank Johnson and Chris Henry to an entire season for Pacman Jones — consistency says Roethlisberger deserved more than this.
