Vudu Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Roger Goodell reduces Ben Roethlisberger's suspension to four games Posted by Michael David Smith on September 3, 2010 11:11 AM ET As expected, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has reduced Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's suspension to four games. Jason La Canfora of NFL Network was the first to report that Goodell reduced the suspension, after Roethlisberger met with Goodell today. The NFL confirmed that the suspension will be four games. Roethlisberger was suspended under the league's personal conduct policy this offseason after he was accused of sexual assault. Goodell had previously said Roethlisberger would have his suspension reduced from six to four games if he stayed out of trouble, and more recently Goodell said Roethlisberger had done everything asked of him and more. According to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, the suspension reduction is contingent on Roethlisberger's continued adherence to the program the league has set out for him, and on no further conduct violations. "You have told me and the Steelers that you committed to making better decisions," Goodell told Roethlisberger, per Aiello. "Your actions over the past several months have been consistent with that promise and you must continue to honor that commitment." Roethlisberger will have to stay away from the team for the first four weeks of the regular season. He can return Week Five, which is the Steelers' bye week, and then play for the first time on October 17 against the Cleveland Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HessStation Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Rape 2x = Smoking pot. Got it. He's not a rapist, he just aggressively forces himself upon woman when he's drunk. He really is a good guy ya know. What would you do if you were a big, dumb, rich, drunk stud, Duuuh.
