Jolly Roger will be visiting with Roethlisberger


There hasn't been much out in the world information on the Ben Roethlisberger story in the past couple of weeks, but that changed...albeit slightly over the weekend.

First came Steelers coach Mike Tomlin saying to the NFL Network that "I'm highly concerned for our franchise and for Ben personally.

Then today, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, speaking at the NFL Owners meeting in Orlando, Florida said that he'd be meeting with Roethlisberger in the near future about the accusations that have been made of him over the past year. The Commissioner adding that he is "Concerned" that Roethlisberger keeps putting himself in those kind of situations.

The HQ...or at least the Satellite office says Big Ben needs to be really careful here. Yes, we know the case is still being investigate, but being called to the principal's office is not a good thing. Best case, if exonerated he'll be told, last strike, get in trouble again and you face sanctions. Worst case, if he gets indicted, he may be facing league sanctions along with whatever the legal system decides to do.

Since Ben's attorney, Ed Garland has had Roethlisberger withdraw from the celebrity golf event he was to play in last week, we suspect Garland won't allow anyone to see his client until a decision has been made. When that will be...is anyone's guess.
