but, apparently Pittsburgh thinks that smoking pot is worse than raping someone. The let Holmes go but you know what I'm glad. He's been a huge asset to our team. Rex is a players coach though and they like that.

No Pittsburgh did not condone the actions of Rothelsberger and even punished him. They even discussed trading him away (I don't think that was really serious though).
The Jets coaching staff set the tone for the actions of their players. Very unprofessional and without any Class. Until that changes, I hope they never get a Super Bowl ring.
What I am saying however, does not go for just the Jets. It goes for any team out there.
I guess I remember when Football was more about the sport. Teams had class. The players are role models whether they want to be or not. Acting like a bunch of pimply faced teenage kids is not the way to go about it.
Great news.
I hear he is going to go into the Meth business!
on a side note: my personal feeling is a great team will get into the play offs and through the first round by virtue of talent and luck alone. but the deeper the rounds go the more coaching decisions enter into the final outcome.
I think the Jets actions make them look like Crips or Bloods ,
Hey I'm a hockey fan and that crap don't wash with anyone in that sportThat's a little strong pb!

very good with the West Side refnot the Jets and the Sharks?
What it shows is that box office draws are more equal than 'others' - Rooney' included.
as for box office draws.... the steelers have sold out every home game since 1972. if they kicked ben out on his butt....they would still continue to sell out. so i dont know how much more the rooneys would make. my proof...you couldnt find a cheap seat even when cordel stewart or bubby were at the helm.
Ike Taylor: I'll Lay Santonio Holmes Out
By FanHouse Staff
Ike Taylor apparently didn't get the memo that this week's matchup between the Steelers and Jets isn't personal.
A week after the NFL warned teams that any trash talking before games would be considered when judging discipline for illegal hits, Taylor spoke about former Steeler teammate Santonio Holmes, who will be playing his former team for the second time this season.
Though Taylor said he's still friends with Holmes, he said he is going to "try to be as disrespectful as possible" when the teams take the field, saying, "friendship doesn't enter into it then."
"I'm not going to hesitate to lay him out," Taylor said. "No question at all. You know why? Because he ain't going to hesitate to crack on me if he gets a chance.
George: Game Is Personal for Holmes, Whether He Admits it or Not
Earlier in the week, Holmes downplayed the matchup.
"I think the personal game is out the way. I got a chance to beat them the first time around," he said in reference to the 22-17 Jets win over the Steelers in Week 15.
"This time it means everything for the team, for the organization ... I don't care about the Steelers right now. Those guys are in my team's way. We have one goal -- to win the Super Bowl."
"Everything personal, will happen two, three weeks after," he continued. "If we win the Super Bowl, then everything is personal, that's a slap back in those guy's face for trading me. For right now, that's not even a focus of mine."
