you mention Bettis being one of our leaders... don't forget he was accused of the same thing that Ben was accused of.

We applaud violence on the field, but loathe it off the field.
Maybe we should look in the mirror to see who's the problem.
Ben and Santonio act the same on and off the field.
Why should we expect anything different?
a deal with the devil? what makes you think that?

It's like baseball and Steroids... people trashed Bonds and said if it was their player or team they wouldn't tolerate it or they would boycott baseball. Then Canseco wrote a book and dropped name after name and a few high profile names on the list leaked and all of a sudden the steroid era was OK...
I love the Steelers but I'm not defending behavior or making excuses for stupd decisions the players make off the field.
"I need an old priest & a young priest"...

I don't think your argument holds water. Again, maybe Ben didn't do anything and he didn't for 99.99% of the night. We know that. But if that .01% was bad, then he should be punished and I won't feel at all bad because I root for violence on the field.

He also has been hitting roids VERY hard and denying it while giving everyone the finger. Most just duck and cover, he's been an overly defiant fraud. And people tend not to like that.
...And the steroids era is not OK by me. I am one of those that says keep them all out of the Hall. ie Screw them.
