Big Ben

NFL Commisioner Roger Goodell suspended Big Ben for six games today. For what, I'm not sure. Maybe because he COULD be a rapist. Maybe because he brought bad publicity to his team. I like that Roger Goodell has cracked down on off-the-field behavior, but I think he went too far with this suspension. Big Ben MIGHT be guilty of something, but the District Attorney didn't have enough evidence to bring charges. What did Commissioner Goodell have on Big Ben that the DA didn't have? I think even a one game suspension would be too much considering that he was not charged with anything. Writer Clay Travis (author of the great book Dixieland Delight) summed it up really well:
