NFL Big Game & Troubled Players:
| Author: Michael Licata |

The National Football League may be the best product on the
field of all the major sports, but its athletes might be the worse off the
field. Ben Roethlisberger is the latest athlete to look foolish after it was
announced that the district attorney would not be pressing charges of sexual
assault against the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback. They also traded away
another off the field headache when they sent Plaxico Burress to the New
York Jets for a late round draft pick.
These two players are public relations problems for the NFL's model
franchise. Yea, other fan bases are bigger, and Dallas Cowboys may be named
"America's Team" but they don't have six Lombardi trophies, a great history
of keeping their coaches for decades and having some of the most successful
signal callers in NFL history. The Rooney family doesn't put up with all
this unruly behavior off the field. Expect Big Ben to get some sort of fine
and suspension. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell doesn't take off the field
actions lightly. He suspended Adam Jones, Chris Henry and other players
entire seasons, causing them to lose millions of dollars because they're not
playing football.
Roethlisberger presents a tougher case. He's the quarter back, the most
important player on the field. How many games should he miss and the
Steelers lose an entire season because he's not under center. It's early
enough in the off season that Pittsburgh can make plans should Big Ben be
suspended for part or all of the schedule, and Goodell won't keep the
Steelers waiting on a decision. He's going to meet with Roethlisberger this
week before determining a final action. There should be a four game
suspension along with a dock in pay. Goodell must not show difference
between positions.
This brings us back to the New York Jets. The team must be relying on head
coach Rex Ryan to keep his players in line. Burress joins Antonio Cromartie
as two players with several off the field issues. Cromartie has fathered
seven children with six women in five different states. He gets around. Ryan
can keep this team in line, look out they'll win a lot of games. If the team
loses games, look out. It's going to be another side show circus that the
New York media love.
Goodell continues to push for harsher punishments for its players that step
out of line. It's still on the players to act appropriately off the field.
These players shouldn't be role models either. Ever since high school,
they've lived a skewed life where they're the most important part of the
world. Kids need to be humble and if they're athletically gifted, surround
yourself with better people and not enablers.
