Jerry Jabber Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8...mp;confirm=true After the first time, most people gave him the benefit of the doubt, but now that it's happened again, people know something is wrong with this guy. Granted, there was supposedly "not enough evidence" to press charges, but celebrities can buy their way out of trouble. If he gets suspended, good for him, he needs to stop putting himself in those positions, quit embarrassing the Steelers and the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kota Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 If he gets suspended i hope the players union goes nuts. I don't understand how you can suspend someone who isn't having charges pressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. But I doubt even the NFL is that stupid. You want to talk about a lawsuit just begging to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Suspended for what? Being accused of a crime that there is no evidence he committed?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynchMob23 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Conduct detrimental to the shield I believe is the reason they can. The NFL's personal conduct policy empowers Goodell to impose discipline on a player, if Goodell deems it appropriate, even if the player is not convicted of a crime.

CarolinaBill Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Conduct detrimental to the shield I believe is the reason they can. Link 1 bingo, we have a winner. In the NFL, you DO NOT NEED TO BE CHARGED, MUCH LESS CONVICTED for the ayatollah, er, commissioner to suspend you, if he feels that your conduct has been a detriment to the league he may choose to suspend a player for any reasonable duration.

Mr. WEO Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 There won't be any suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 There won't be any suspension. Might as well wait until he rapes a 3rd "crazy woman" before doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Might as well wait until he rapes a 3rd "crazy woman" before doing anything. "Rapes"? Which one's are those now? Maybe you have some information that no one else has, doc? If so, spill it. If not, then you've got to, for your own mental health, move on from your bitter betrayal by Mr. Lynch. Reality has to set in at some point.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynchMob23 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 If we're throwing guesses out there, I'd say 2-4 games from the Steelers OR the league. I would say one from each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then you've got to, for your own mental health, move on from your bitter betrayal by Mr. Lynch. Reality has to set in at some point.... You're better at the wild-assed theories doc. Remember how Lynch had to have been boozing-it up "in the bathroom" because no one saw him drinking that fateful night, unlike the countless other times he was caught bringing-in his own hooch? But actually in this case, you don't have to go too far, seeing as how a tape the cops (who had pictures taken with Big Ben) were reviewing until they suddenly and wholly unexpectedly got called away, curiously went missing. Or how he ("read between the lines" of the accuser's words, if not the DA's, doc) paid off the accuser, who doesn't want a trial because it will only drag things out and not because he's innocent. You're nothing if not (foolishly) consistent, doc. I could have written your reply for you. I guess I should call Lynch's victim a drunk crazy chick from now on.

LeviF Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Suspended for what? Being accused of a crime that there is no not enough evidence to convince a 12-member jury beyond a reasonable doubt that he committed?? Fixed that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Why are people so quick to assume an athelete is guilty? is it because they have money or are famous? I just don't get it. Getting investigated or arrested doesn't mean you are guilty. There is still due process. The same people who thought Big Ben guility in the first place before an investigation is done are usually the first to say that Big Ben's money/fame got him off the hook. It is a very ignorant attitude if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very ignorant attitude if you ask me. Once is possibly a bogus charge. Twice is more likely a trend. Especially given the rarity of sexual misconduct charges against NFL players as a group. Big Ben may truly be innocent. But as an NFL player, and especially as a QB and star, he's held to a higher standard. After the first incident, he should have learned to not put himself in these types of situations. After the 2nd, he needs to be suspended. And that's what Goodell should do, if he wants to have the look of impartiality. But most likely, he'll just have the sit down and let it pass. Watch and see.

apuszczalowski Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 If he does get suspended, can we get a couple of volunteer women to say that Brady commited "Sexual Misconduct" against them? If it doesn't matter if they are convicted, and only have to be accused by someone, why not give it a try to get a few games suspension for him?
