Will they call Ben

[black and gold apex]

Heard on the NFL channel this morning that the Pats are going to call all these players with different suspensions to show God-dels one sidedness going at the Pats and Brady. They feel the punishment doesn't fit the crime when others have been slapped on the hand. So with Ben not arrested or charged but big suspension for suspension alone I doubt they call on Ben's thoughts. If they do as reported will be interesting how many players side with Shady Tom.

**** the ****************************************************Pats


Does RG just roll dice when it comes to suspension, yes he is a twatwaffle. But the ** have been caught twice now cheating. Man up and take it.

 

[TDX27]

Call Ben all they want. It will only help their position against Marsha. Ben got 6 games (reduced to 4) for nothing. He was accused of something that was dropped because there was no evidence. His suspension was based on perception. Brady and the Cheatriots didn't cooperate with the investigation and therefore should get an even bigger suspension.

 

[SteelerAl]

There is simply no precedent for what the Pats have done (twice). At this point it's the only card the Pats can play, but I don't think it will get them anywhere.

 

[Crimsonsteel]

Amazing to think we still made it to the Super Bowl that year! Yeah, I agree that Ben's case wouldn't help Brady's cause.

 

[Litos]

Ben is DTF the *s

 

[Lloyds legend]

Well don't forget to call Sean Payton who was suspended the entire ******* season for allegedly not knowing what was going on with his team.

The way I see it, based on precedence set by Roger Goodell himself Belichik should be making plans for his season long vacation.

 

[AggieSteel]

I hope they do call and he tells them to go **** themselves. I've never seen a team or player take a suspension like more of a ***** than Br*dy and the P*ts

How come no one is asking the other question:

If the Paterisks* have now been caught cheating twice, with severe punishment from the league, how likely is it that they have only done these two things?

Shouldn't the NFL, cognizant that the the Cheaters* have accomplished too much with too little, completely audit the entire organization, especially wrt to any/all complaints from other teams?

If the Cheatriots* are nefarious enough to cause ball handlers to cheat on their behalf OR ignorant of same, what is to be said of the entire gamut of dirty little tricks they might tried or turned a blind eye too? There simply needs to be a large audit of the entire operation, from the too-chummy relationship of Krapft and ******* Goodell, to Belicheat's clear willingness to tread over the line wrt rules, to all other organizational aspects.

Why doesn't someone start a funding site to offer a reward to the first former Cheatriot* player/employee to come forward with a full disclosure of hidden misdeeds?

 

[Superman]

if they call Ben, he should put them on speaker phone, then have the entire Steelers team laugh at them and remind them who was the ONLY team to vote against giving Goodell this much power.

**** them

punishment was too light.

Have you guys seen this bullshit from a Pats fan who created a site to tell you how much more your teams have cheated, but just aren't as good as the New England Patriots, hence your jealousy...

[steelrzgirl]

Roger went on a roll with his random punishments to protect the shield. Well someone call Vick ******* Mackey then.

He didnt account for the fact that his homeboy's team was going to cheat again and he would have to cover it up. #firerogergoodell

and its also quite inaccurate. besides that we already lnow who is a the cheating champion of the world in the entireity of modern era sports, Pats fans dont need to keep shoving that accomplishment down our throats

 

[SteelerSask2]

There were a lot of things that pissed me off about the Ben suspension, but I'd say the worst was that the NFLPA DID NOTHING. And it was a difficult time to be a Ben fan in the non Burgh, but I was like where is due process. Now the NFLPA is stepping in for everyone else. If I was him, I'd sue them for poor representation.

Without even looking, I'm gonna guess that they bring up the Steelers using steroids in the 70's when steroids were not illegal, hence it was not "cheating".

If they ever ban Caffine, every sports championship ever will need to be vacated by that logic..... All I hear from that segment of Pats fans right now is "whaaaaaaaaaa, Whaaaaaa, Whaaaaaaa..... seriously they have no idea how good they got it... they still haven't even figured out that the commish had no input on the verdict this time... foolish and whiny to the max over there

I emailed the "Commish" of the site - LOL. I said the following:

Your depiction of the Steelers on your site is in error. You point out using Steroids in the 1970s as "cheating." The use of steroids in the 1970s was not cheating. Literally, not cheating.

Cheating is defined by Merriam-Webster as: cheat: to break a rule or law usually to gain an advantage at something; to take something from (someone) by lying or breaking a rule; to prevent (someone) from having something that he or she deserves or was expecting to get

In the 1970s, using steroids was not illegal in the United States, and it was not banned by the NFL. Translation: using steroids was like using Tylenol, it was a choice. No NFL rule was broken, no US law was violated. This is not a case of cheating.

"It's important to remember that steroid usage was during this time period both legal in the United States and not banned in any form by the NFL. It was not until 1983 (20 years after the Chargers began using them) that Pete Rozelle and the NFL wrote specific language banning the usage of steroids in the NFL.

It wasn't until 1987 that the NFL began testing for steroid usage. And it was only after the Ben Johnson Olympic controversy that the U.S. began debating adding steroids to the Controlled substances act. Two years later, anabolic steroids were added to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act in the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 1990 (27 years after Roy introduce them to the NFL)." http://bleacherreport.com/articles/232404-the-steelers-steroids-and-profound-misconceptions

The Steelers have long been purported to have introduced steroids into the NFL and to have glamorized their usage. This article (copied) dispels the notion. Steroids were introduced into the NFL by Alvin Roy. Alvin Roy began using steroids with his players while in college at LSU in the 60s. In 1963, Alvin Roy became the strength coach for the San Diego Chargers and brought steroids with him. That year, 1963, is the only season the Chargers have won a professional sports title, winning the AFL Championship. By the time the Steelers began to win Super Bowls in the 1970s (beginning in 1974), Alvin Roy had been a coach with San Diego, Kansas City, and the Dallas Cowboys, where he remained until 1975, before moving on to the Oakland Raiders. By 1974, the use of steroids was pervasive in the NFL. The article gives you a detailed history.

Thanks.

I applaud your efforts on the site. But if you want to have your site be about "cheating," well...have it be about cheating. No rule breaking was even involved here.

So I got a reply from "The Commish" at YourTeamCheats.org.

to me
i have the steelers PEDs cheats flagged for review. thanks for the feedback.

- Commish

That site is a crock of ****. They rate everything a 1-5 severity. The Patriots fan that runs it rates the Steelers use of roids in the 70s as a 3.5, he gives Spygate a 2.0.

The sad thing is that trade rags are referencing this garbage.

The time for the Pats to have a problem with other players suspensions was during other players suspensions.

I would have respected them protesting a suspension of another teams player. Trying to use those now is yet another pathetic ploy on their behalf. I could not have less respect for an organization.

 

[Hineswardkickedurpanzyass]

wait 10 years when Legarrette says the *'s told him to walk off the field so the Steelers would drop him. Then you may have even less *respect.

the big issue is eventually players will talk... like they say, BB doesn't give a rats *** about his rep, so he doesn't care if ultimately the championships are tainted, but one day a player or coach in the know will be hard up for money and write a book, and spill all the beans, and then this era will be marred worse than it already is

I can't believe the equipment managers haven't said **** it and decided to cash in by having someone write their story.
