Mr. WEO Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Lynch should fire his guys and hire Holmes' and Roethlisberger's guys. So, when do those sit downs happen with Sir Roger, again? You may now stop whining. http://blogs.nfl.com/2010/04/12/expect-goo...rger-this-week/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Duncan was quick to point out, however, that the video did not show Ben and his accuser going towards the bathroom where the alleged incident took place. I believe it was more of a case of "they believe" it would not have shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 One thing I was not aware of before is that Roethlisberger was buying the girl shots all night. That makes me start thinking more about his guilt. I thought it was just some random chick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Link Steelers President Art Rooney II was described as "furious" by some after watching a news conference from Milledgeville, Ga., Monday afternoon that detailed in graphic terms some of Mr. Roethlisberger's escapades with a drunken 20-year-old woman. Mr. Rooney later issued a statement that the organization will consider the "next steps in this process" after consulting with Mr. Goodell. Mr. Rooney said the commissioner will meet with Mr. Roethlisberger in the next few days. ___________________________________________ Mr. Roethlisberger took no questions from the gathered media of about 50. It was the second time in nine months he had read a statement from a podium at the Steelers facility in response to a sexual assault claim by a woman. However, while coach Mike Tomlin and personnel head Kevin Colbert stood in the front of the room in obvious support of their quarterback while he faced the media last summer, Mr. Roethlisberger stood alone Monday. He was sued last year by a woman in Nevada who claims he sexually assaulted her. He was not criminally charged in that case. ___________________________________________ Multiple Steelers sources indicated that Mr. Rooney is considering various types of punishment for his quarterback, including suspension from a game or games in 2010. It's also possible the NFL could take that decision out of Mr. Rooney's hands by issuing a suspension under the league's conduct policy. In his statement, Mr. Rooney said: "During the past few weeks I have met with Ben on a number of occasions, not only to discuss this incident but also to discuss his commitment to making sure something like this never happens again. "The Pittsburgh Steelers take the conduct of players and staff very seriously. Ben will now have to work hard to earn back the respect and trust of Steelers fans, and to live up to the leadership responsibilities we all expect of him."

JMO "What Jimmy Harrison was doing and how the incident occurred, what he was trying to do was really well worth it," he said of Mr. Harrison's initial intent with his son. "He was doing something that was good, wanted to take his son to get baptized where he lived and things like that. She said she didn't want to do it." - Dan Rooney, on James Harrison hitting his girlfriend. "Nearly three years ago, his marriage broke up, depriving Holmes of two adored sons. Driving through eastern Ohio after leaving them, he started firing a pistol at trucks. Before he was stopped, Holmes shot at a police helicopter and wounded a cop during a chase through woods." - TIME magazine, on the Steelers' Ernie Holmes, Dec. 8, 1975. He played for the Steelers until 1977. (From Deadspin) Yeah, those Rooney's don't stand for bad behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
