Next to go...Big Ben.

Jets are building a decent team. Could all implode though considering most of the acquisitions are "bad character" guys.

I've seen the pics.

Big Ben will probably have no action taken against him.

Think your lot are playin Shropshire on sunday if im right, one of our LB/TEs plays there, but wont be playing as he broke his leg the day after a game playin 5 a side.

Apparantly they've got a bouncy castle for the game.

Yea, we're down there.

Really can't wait. 3 months of flogging myself, getting nailed and f***ing up in the backfield should pay off this weekend.

And a bouncy castle. EXCELLENT!

If their DB number 40 is on, i'd target him, he played for us in the 1st semester at OLB and can't tackle his way out of a paper bag.

=#8000FFCromartie?

Big Ben is not to be charged says the DA.

It will be interesting to see if he gets a ban still though. Its the 2nd time hes put himself in a position like he has and normally when a player does that a 4 game ban follows......

Apparently Santonio Holmes refused to give a drug test aswell so I can see his 4 game ban becomeing even longer

If the NFL attempt to ban him for what basically amounts to some allegations which have subsequently been withdrawn and over which no criminal charges were brought then I'd be suing the living hell out of them if I was Roethlisberger.

If you can take drugs, get caught and still not get suspended (yes Venus and Serena at Minnesota, I'm talking to you) then there's no way this is worthy of time out of the game.

I agree that he shouldnt get a ban, but Roger Goodell likes to make one big example at the beggining of the year and I think he could well be it

Ha, I'll pass the intel on!

Fudge Packers reportedly interested in Brian Westbrook

and another dumb player this time Leroy Hill arrested again just 11 days after pleading guilty to a drugs charge

Please please sign him. Starter, no. Excellent back-up/pass catcher, YES!

He could well be the next Kevin Faulk

What exactly would you be suing them for? Thats a pretty weak idea considering the personal conduct policy allows a player to be banned for something EVEN WHEN NOT CHARGED OR CONVICTED OF A CRIME (and Amani Toomer thinks Ben should be banned for half the year). Quite what your suing for then, i have no idea.

Also, the allegations have not been withdrawn by the alledged victim (certainly not in this case, unless you can provide contrary verification?). They declined to prosecute Ben because there was insufficient physical evidence to prove it beyond reasonable doubt, if any physical evidence at all. The woman in this case wrote a letter to say she didn't want to prosecute Ben because of the intrusion it would cause to her which is understandable given comments and attitudes (not on here) that many people seem to have about her/people in her situation.

Do i think Ben has done what has been alledged, i have no idea really, but he's put himself in stupid situation twice. Maybe don't have sexual contact of any kind in club toilets Ben? If he's broke the conduct policy then he should definately be banned. 8 games IMO.

The NFL (and it appears, some of its fans) has gone mad if that happens.

Carry an unlicenced firearm, pump whatever legal or illegal substances you like into your body but whatever you do don't go anywhere that someone might be able to accuse you of sexual impropriety then subsequently not have the knackers to take it all the way.

Goodell's playing politics in the wake of all the scandals that have tained baseball and got it Congressional attention - the sad thing is he's doing it with people's careers.

That isn't the point. You said you'd sue the NFL and i was just pointing out it is a ridiculous idea.

Again you seem to be suggesting the woman has subsequently retracted her version of events, i haven't read that she has (if you could provide evidence she has?). There was/is insufficient evidence to take it to trial. She said she didn't want it to go to trial since it would cause her intrusion, she has not retracted anything as far as i've read, which is understandable. The DA said this had NO IMPACT on whether he was taken to trial/charged, rather the lack of concrete evidence. Where you get this "not have the knackers to take it all the way" from i don't know, and frankly is abit out of order.

Ben has obviously been stupid and deserves a ban. If you don't want to be accused of it Ben then maybe only have sexual contact with woman you know/haven't just met in a club/have taken out on a date etc. Suspending him would send out a message that you conduct is paramount and even when not necessarily guilty of a crime you will be punished.

I think Ben should get 8 games, he likely gets none or maximum 4. As for the comparisons with other instances they are largely irrelevant to this discussion but IMO illegal drugs should carry a mandatory 1 year ban and likewise, unlicence firearm possession, should also be a mandatory 1 year ban.

Brandon Marshall to the Dolphins for a 2010 and 2011 2nd round picks.

Thats a quality pick up and I cant even begin to tell you how annoyed I am the we didnt even attempt to get him and/or Boldin

Enjoy being third in the AFC East next year...

1. NY Jets
2. Miami
3. Patriots
4. Bills

A good draft for the Bills (Clausen) and i'd consider putting you at 4.

We have 12 picks so Im not worried 1 little bit





With the smartest coach in the game Im sure we will turn them into quality players/ higher picks next year



Even if we are not at our best (like last year) we can still compete for the division

[size=50<<<<<<<<<<<< Sits back and awaits Conroys Tapes mumbo jumbo



[/size

I dont think the Dolphins are that good even with Marshall sure he will improve them but they still need more players, they are apparently trying to trade Ted "drops alotta" Ginn (good luck with thats BTW hes shoite) so their still short on the WR front IMO, and if Chad Henne gets injured they are pretty much competing with the Bills for last place. I think the Jests could go well but I still reckon that Santonio Holmes will get a longer ban, then again apart from 1 game (the super bowl) he didnt really do an awful lot to help the Steelers win IMO so I hope he starts every game

, he is far too much of an off field distraction and now hes back in NY where all his drug taking homies are I can see him being in prison soon enough where he belongs. They are pretty much reliant on Tomlinson getting back to his best again aswell IMO, Shonn Greene is good but with Leon Washington coming back from a serious injury(if hes still there next season) all it will take is an injury to one of them and there strugging again.

I must admit the Jests Defensive scares me a lot, but Im sure we will find a way around them

I have in the past had a difference of opinion with ST Conroy over his view of Josh McDaniels but i have to admit he needs to work on his relationship with his players.

After a few weeks in the job his QB wanted a trade,all season there was friction between him and Marshall and now he's gone.Also now Dumervil and Scheffler are refusing to paticapate in off season workouts and want to leave.If he keeps going he's going to have no good players left.
