Rainey arrested this morning

[fezziwig]

As an adult it isn't that big of deal for me either but, I do want our children to look up to the proper role models or people they see as role models.

I still hear the ladies saying how much they now hate Ben.

And those same people cheer for Hometown Charlie.

Just ignorant broads, nothing else.

IMO, that's a job for parents, teachers, pastors and communities. If someone runs afoul of the law, then they should pay the consequences and have their due process in a court of law and not in Goodell's mind.

Down here in Charlotte there are some fans who are still hating on Cam because he stole a laptop at Florida. Some fans think these guys are role models.

That's his second incident involving a girlfriend.

Interesting to see how they treat this one compared to what they did when James Harrison did the same thing.

we both know it will be different, because Harrison is a superstar...Rainey is questionable at best. Right or wrong that is how things work.

speculation is the case will be dismissed.

So,if Rainey was jailed over a misunderstanding and released, can he be released by the Steelers and then rejoin?

A bit of a premature overreaction by the Steelers it seems.

This team seems to have lots of stupid in it lately.

Including the players.

why not, we cut and then later re-signed Ta'amu after his act of stupidity...

[Slapstick]

Officially, Rainey can't be waived until after the Super Bowl. The Steelers could reconsider...

Good stuff Hawaiin. I personally don't care if we get him back or not because I don't think he'll be a durable player through the years and if he shows a spark of talent the Steelers will over pay for him when his contract is due. I just don't believe he's that much of an improvement to the team. I was currious if other teams would have tried signing him after this last incident but now, I'm sure someone would take him since his name looks like it will be cleared. Even with what I have said, the Steelers acted to quickly on this.

Tough to prosecute when the alleged victim won't cooperate.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

personally, I think the FO overreacted, but I don't know what rainey was told in regards to staying out of the news.

should have waited a day or two to let the dust settle.
