So, hypothetical. Ben plays. I think we can both agree that the 49ers are NOT the Browns. He takes a hit or two, a sack, and now he's out for the rest of the season. You still there with the LOL? Don't think so.

If Roethlisberger can fight through the most mild form of ankle sprain, he can do anything!

I don't know if the injury can be exarggerated to the point where he is out for the year. But playing on it can ensure that he will be far from healthy throughout the postseason with limited mobility. Playing on high ankle sprains can often lead to offseason surgery as well.

The suspension is just and fair. The Steelers are still a great team without Harrison and can still beat SF. Hopefully that does *not* happen but it wouldn't surprise me if they did.

Harrison DOES tackle and play the game the 'right' way. Goodell would fine him for breathing too hard om an opponent. If Goodell insists on keeping defenses from doing what they do, maybe we should just call it flag football?

smh Harrison does not tackle the right way. Say what you want about some other rules but the H2H rule is there for a reason. Harrison just doesn't get it, period. He believed because he played for the beloved Steelers that he was above the rules. He found out different. As did the Steelers' organization.
