However, I had to go back and re-approve your last two comments because my spam filter removed them. When you post 7 or 8 comments per day, several in a row, it thinks you're one of those viagra ads or Nigerian email schemers. :) You're clearly a passionate fan and I enjoy our exchanges as well as your take on these things. However, if you could maybe gather your thoughts and consolidate them into a few posts, I'd greatly appreciate it. As for what Artie Jr. said today, I'll be posting something on that later tonight. I just got back from work and it seems a whole mountain of things came out today. Never a dull moment in this Steeler offseason...

They recognized where there is so much smoke, there is obviously a fire. Way to go Art II. Ben Stop the off-field B.S. I will always root for the Steelers, even if Ben still dons the B&G. But the stain he has placed on the proudest franchise in the History of the NFL will take a long time to buff out. Although Ben is lucky his sentences run concurrent and not consecutively Ben MUST understand he is a STEELER! Alan Good for Pittsburgh.

I would suggest the two-game suspension I have been predicting for the past week is well on it’s way. Stay tuned.

Also funny and true on the back up QB situation there in Pitt. Ahhhh I can still here the "Brister, Brister, Brister" chants. Or was that, "Tomczak, Tomczak, Tomczak" No, No, No...It was Woodley thats right, Woodley. (lol, little joke there, that era hurt.) I know that 3 QBs is not an ideal situation, and I was as nervous as a wh@%e in church that year, but the Steelers showed that it could be done....not that it SHOULD be done but in a pinch, COULD be. But back to the TEAM. I too am ready to root for the Steelers again and start reading/writing about something besides Ben. Thanks for letting me rant, I'm sorry it took me this long to find this page. Alan I’ll agree with you on the personnel moves I suppose….I get a little exciteable at times.

The outcry over this situation demands Goodell do something. And if Goodell does the suspending, there isn't really anything Ben can do to fight it. I get your point about the 3 QBs in 2005 but that's not the optimal situation for any team. What I'll find interesting is if Ben sits for, say, three games and we go with Dixon. What if Dix goes 3-0 and looks pretty damn good? Then Ben returns and we go 6-7 the rest of the way to finish where we did last year? Can you imagine what people will be saying then? Nobody on the Steelers is ever more popular than the back-up QB. I do agree with you that if we take care of the OLine/D, the team will improve dramatically regardless of the QB. Which is what I've been saying all along when the blind Ben Worshipers kept trying to argue that the team depends 100% on him to win. Football is a team game and Ben is no where near good enough to single-handedly lead them to success without a running game or stellar defense to help him out. I don't agree with your personnel moves, tho. They'll take a safety but unless one of the top prospects drops to them, it won't be until round 3 or 4. They have Clark for 3 more years so there's no hurry to find a replacement anymore. And I doubt they'll trade for anybody because there were already a bunch of great CBs/OL in free agency/traded and they sat on their hands. But I'll get into my thoughts on their draft strategy next week in my Draft Preview post. That is a pretty funny story on Ben's groping police dog. I heard about it this morning but, honestly, I'm tired of writing Ben Roethlisberger stories. As I said before, all I care about at this point is what he does on the field because that's all he's good for. He's clearly a dick, he'll always be a dick, and I'll never forgive him for how he disgraced my city and my team. I’m pretty sure Ben is going to sit 2-4 games.
