Roger Goodell must reap what he has sewn!

It is looking pretty obvious he Ben will be suspended and likely fine. I would say minimum of 2 games and max 4 games. I think the Steelers Owners will be leading the charge to have him suspended.

Name tag, not t-shirt, but no arguments here. It doesn't strike me as being that out of line for a joke some sorority girls would do on a night on the town, though. The bodyguard angle (blocking access, denying, etc.) makes this a lot worse than just a he said/she said. When you have a more sober person saying, "our friend is too drunk to be back there, let us get to her" and the guard is blocking access and then the woman says she was raped that doesn't look good at all.

I have heard reports that the "bodyguards" were off duty police offers too.

Wonder if that is true ?
