StumbleWhether Ben Roethlisberger's suspension turns out to be six games or four, it's already changed betting odds. Las Vegas Sports Consultants said Wednesday the Steelers had gone from 12-1 to 20-1 in its future odds to win the Super Bowl. Tony Sinisi, odds director for Las Vegas Sports Consultants, said the change was made after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell announced the suspension. His firm provides sports betting odds to an array of casinos in Nevada, where sports betting is legal. "Fortuitously for us, not all of the stuff that we're going to put up for the NFL is up yet," Sinisi said.

It is about time...Good for Goodell....This has and is out of control...the players need to understand they can't abuse people just cause they play sports....Soon a few of them are going to end up in jail doing serious time and then it may start to sink in....
Sorry Big Ben :{ Guess this is payback for that superbowl giveaway in Detroit!
There is a god.....

Maybe Big Ben while on suspension can ride his motorcycle to the game with no helmet on then stand on the sidelines with his hat on backwards and then can chase the cheerleaders to the bathroom. I don't think he should be playing football, he needs to have somebody look between his ears.
Big Ben is lucky he's not in the Big House.
