Ben Roethlisberger Pittsburgh Steelers should not celebrate NFL reduced suspension 090310 - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN
Just because NFL commissioner Roger Goodell shortened Roethlisberger’s suspension from six games to four after a Friday meeting at league headquarters doesn’t mean the star Pittsburgh quarterback should celebrate by popping champagne bottles or, for that matter, ordering tequila shots for his "bitches" at a college bar. It was the latter type of deviant behavior with at least one underage female student and ensuing sexual assault claim that led to this situation in the first place.

Won't happen
Barber has a big contract and Choice doesn’t. The Cowboys will stand pat.

With what I've seen from Decker...
I wouldn’t be totally opposed to trading Royal. That’s speaking from an entirely business frame of mind.
Personally though, no way in hell do you trade Eddie Royal. He embodies what McD looks for in a player. Smart, hard working, selfless and dedicated. Also, Eddie’s a fan favorite. If you think dropping BMarsh was ugly, imagine the field day the idiots would have if they traded Eddie. I for one would question the move. Stats don’t always tell the story with players, as we all know. Eddie Royal is quickly becoming an institution for Broncos fans everywhere. He’s likable and engages with his fans. His style screams Rod Smith 2.0 and I think McX would have to be checked for mental health issues if they did get rid of him for anyone.
Just like Rod Smith, Eddie isn’t the most talented or athletic guy on the field at any given time, but just like Rod Smith, if he isn’t number 1 out there, it’s not for lack of trying. I can’t even fathom the FO getting rid of someone like him.
Now, Alphonso Smith is a different story….now we’re talking.
Comparing Michael Lombardi to Bill Williamson is like comparing an In-N-Out Cheeseburger to a sh## sandwich.
Williamson would probably eat both – no questions asked.
would have agreed with this a year ago
I have to admit I’m still stuck a little on his production nosedive from last year. I know McD says he regrets he didn’t use him more, I know McD said he plans to use him more this year, and I know he had a good preseason. And I like Eddie, a lot. But I just can’t compare him to Rod “The Best Broncos WR Ever” until I see him put a couple of productive seasons back to back. I don’t want to see him gone, I just want to him to go out and kill it this year before I give him the kind the status that makes him untradeable.
In good times and bad times, I'm a Bronco fan. Sucka.

but like i said
I do not want him to be traded. I just want him to come out on fire and be the guy we want him to be on the field this year.

We’d have to get a pretty good RB for Royal.
I’d trade Lloyd for a 7th round pick in 2011. Would trade Phonz for a 4th.
Denver: 32-32 until we're not.
No way we get a 4th for Phonz
I would jump for joy if it happened, but I will be very surprised if anyone offers us that.

Get serious
Royal isn’t going anywhere. Alphonso Smith stays for now. Not even Lloyd is going anywhere right now. Maybe trade Stokely to Shanahan for Willie Parker or Larry Johnson or to someone else for a solid RB. Stokely only has a year left with his age and can still help a team this year for a team that needs a wr and can give up a rb.
Smith stays until another 7th round choice....
forces McD to cut him next year. If McD gets rid of him, that says a lot. McD is, obviously, going to give him every opportunity.
by Keyworthpunch on Sep 4, 2010 9:22 AM MDT up reply actions
Sensible
McD would have to be smoking a. pound of crack to trade Royal.
The fact that they’re seeking compensation at all for Smith means they still think he has value. They COULD just leave that couch on the curb but at the moment I question whether they will. If I am pretty much ANY team who is interested I think I wait till they cut him and get him for nothing, rather than give up a fifth for a kid who probably should have been drafted there anyway.
Like him or not, you might still have Phonz to kick around this year..
Stokes to Shanahan is interesting. Shanny is the sort of coach who might take an older model with more road behind than ahead. I am intrigued by that, but getting a 4th or 5th for Stokes seems as dubious as getting it for Phonz, considering his age and the injury factor.
Should be an interesting day on several fronts for Broncos fans.

Some good news.
We won’t be facing Ed Reed or David Thornton this season as both were placed on the PUP.
Denver: 32-32 until we're not.
I noticed that too....made me smile :)
Officially on record with a 10-6 prediction for 2010! (8/21/10)

yeah
But teams are probably saying no Doom or BM for us. And did you see how bad the OL was. Anyone goes down we are screwed.
At least we have a replacement or 3 for BM
"3 and Out Baby" I ride the short bus!

Misery and company.
I’m glad to have some company in Baltimore and Tennessee. The Titans won’t have McRath either as he is suspended. They’ll be light at LB vs Denver.
Denver: 32-32 until we're not.
Should make it easier to hit those runs to the outside...
IF we had any running backs.

Not quite sure how Bowlen becomes the 17th best owner in the NFL
Bizarre

whereas Jerry freaking Jones
whose claim to fame is he is always hogging the limelight, is the best owner. I usually like Silver’s articles, but this is complete and utter BS.
god created earth in 6 days....on the 7th day, he took a break and created elway
my official reaction to that
“lol whut?”

In case anyone is keeping score
The Bengals waived Dez Briscoe. They have a similarly deep WR corps as us, but many of us really, really wanted Dez. Also, Gartrell Johnson was cut by the Giants. Could be a RB to keep an eye on, though I would prefer someone with more experience or talent.

yep....that's for real
Gartrell's the guy I wanted the Broncos to pick up if cut
but i was figuring he was probably safe on the Giants. So imho I’d be stoked if that’s the direction the Broncos go. He’d be very useful player.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
Right now...
I’d be excited about anyone who’s just in one piece. LOL
