There are thousands of lady's who love and watch football, either on TV, or live in the stands, the fact that he's just going to say "@!$%# happens" won't work. If it was my daughter or sister, or even a close friend, it would make me believe the fact that she said "no" wasn't enough to stop him and because he thinks it's O.K. because of who it just don'r sit right with me, and I'm sure thousands of true Steelers fans. I don't post but this had to be said, Ben, your a sad example of a professional in any sport, you should man up and tell the truth and take what comes with it(if your any kind of man, that is).

The Stealer arrogance has finally caught up to them....first Santonio and now Pig Ben. Serves them right to watch the rest of the division from the bottom rung for a while.

Just beause Ben's jerk doesn't mean he can't take them to the big show. Anything can happen. Zip it up and get back to the game Big Ben.

Let's listen in on the thought processing of BB's brain:

"Hmm, me no throw TDs for six weeks-bad. Can't buy refs like last two Superbowls-bad. Too many thoughts. Me go for motorcycle ride to clear mind..."

It's only 6 games - if he's wise he'll use his time-off and come back kickin'. Pigs usually do. . .

Cinci to win this weak divison in upcoming year and steelers are falling from grace fast

Mike in Portland, lol

I say no because they have already broken team unity! They cut one star,harass the hell out of this one when he has not been convicted of any crime? THe NFL for the most part is a joke with grow men dressing up and acting like the giddy little people they were at 9 years old! They are not jocks or gods and all are over paid big time for what labor they provide! Look around the stadiums and the pictures of the screaming painted radicals that support this thing called pro football and then wonder why the players behave the way they do! ETHICS mr.Goodell? I have not watched but one game in past twenty some years, that would be the New Orleans victory last season, I have reached the point that I do not care if any professional sport is ever played again anywhere,with their primadona whinner players and managements! Want to see a good game watch your local high schools a few times!

They'll make it because now maybe Dixon can show 'em what he's got! Go DENNIS! There is a player with some REAL class!

If they start this season fresh with a different starting quarterback, maybe. Rapist Ben is too much of a distraction to the team and will be too distracted himself to manage a solid season. Let Rapist Ben play ball in the showers of a federal pen somewhere because that's the league he belongs in.

With Leftwich ! Child Please

We will make it because the steelers have always been a team no matter who is on the field! BIG BEN I got your back! You are still our qb. But love that we got three of the best behind you

The steelers will deff make the playoffs.....I know alot has happened this offseason but we still have all the pieces to make it. Big ben gone 6 games sucks but it could move down to 4 an all you sayin the ravens are so much better when dennis dixon took them into OT in his first game. yea santonio holmes left but mike wallace will step up an be a stud an drafting emmanual sanders could be a great pick after watchin his highlights an all an if not randle el is ok. mendenhall will get his first full season with john dwyer possible the steal of the draft an pouncey. Mcfadden coming back helps alot plus Polamalu will be back healthy which is a big difference. Think about it.. it all adds up

who cares what happened in that bathroom? big ben is still the best qb in this division. he broke his freakin jaw and almost died and still won a super bowl after that. everybody hates the best...there's always gonna be yankees haters, lakers haters, and steelers haters. but one thing is for sure; we have won 2 of the last 5 super bowls and that is more than any other team can say in the last five years. i don't see much change in the nucleus of the team so i don't think the playoffs are a long shot. ben will sit out 4 games and come back with the fury. the bengals? please!!! they have a winning season every 10 years and every1 expects big changes...spare me. the ravens, bengals, and browns could only eek out 1 super bowl win combined...we all know who the class in this division is. i'll give u a hint...starts with an s and ends with teelers.
