Media and Internet and Ben's meet tomorrow.

For the last couple days I keep reading from no reliable source but just stories about Ben and his people going to ask the Comish for only a 3 game suspension. We all know how the media is and works and the power of the Internet. I think there are haters out there that want the ban to stay at 6 games and are basically making a push to show Ben up to the Comish. I truly believe all this is fabricated and the intent is clear. Any thoughts on this?

Although Big Ben's camp will definitely have a good argument to have it reduced further

With no suspensions going to Vince Young, Cedric Benson and Shaun Rogers.

I still think it’s wishful thinking to expect any less than 4 games…

I can deal with four games

Afterall, our QB needed to grow up, and he’s not disappointing anybody right now.

Chris Andersen could be in a porno with his 'stache. Too bad he still wouldn't know how to box out.
Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

I think a good negotiating strategy

would be to push for a reduction with the objective of getting 4 games suspended, with an allowance to resume team activities and sideline presence after two weeks.

The commish did say that BB went above and beyond..

What was expected…Why not reduce it further?

that would seem logical

but logic is a foreign concept these days

Steelers football is supposed to be 60 mins, recently it's been 45. The additional 15 are currently under construction.

It's going to be a four game suspension.

Goodell was firm that it was a minimum of four games. He’s gone above and beyond so it seems pretty sure that the time will be reduced to 4.
