Title: Steelers Team Report
Post by StegRock on Apr 10th, 2010, 10:38pm
Was waiting until this point to report this...  Big Ben off the hook... [smiley=dodged.gif] From "The REAL Feed":

Sources: Ben Roethlisberger will not be charged (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5071769&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines)
ESPN: NFL (09.04.2010 17:54)

Atop the real feed....Big Ben out 4-6 weeks.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5121614&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines

I think the % of him getting traded is going up as we speak.

It makes the Wrs value go down, and I don't think it much change for Mendenhall...maybe a slight increase, not much worth noting IMO.

Maybe I spoke a little too early, but here is support for my belief of Mendenhall's stats this year:

Like I said I see nothing different in what I expect from him this year.

Man, this guy's season is over well before it was even to begin,... which is a shame since, with the sudden departure of Holmes this offseason and an ever-youthful, but matter-of-fact ever-aging Ward as the team's leading receiver, he had his chance to emerge...  From "The REAL Feed":

They had 20 grams of weed on them, [smiley=kb.gif] and Bell also got popped for DUI.  It is being reported that this will likely not affect them for this season.

My take...  I would not at all be surprised if the Steelers, a high character organization, dump Blount, a known troublemaker who could now potentially be seen as a bad influence on the younger Bell, who is not known as trouble.
