Video: Steelers Roethlisberger Punched by Raiders Seymour

Was it a punch or more of a slap? Either way, it put Big Ben on the ground and sent Oakland Raiders defensive end Richard “Get Outta My Face” Seymour to the locker room for a time out. (Videos below . . . at least,until the NFL pulls them)

Here’s what happened, according to ESPN:

After completing the 22-yard throw to Emmanuel Sanders, Roethlisberger jumped into the arms of tackle Flozell Adams. Roethlisberger then began walking forward and appeared to say something to Seymour, who turned and struck the quarterback in the jaw with his open right hand.

As Roethlisberger went to his back, lineman Chris Kemoeatu grabbed Seymour. Both Seymour and Kemoeatu drew penalties, but only Seymour was ejected.

After the game, Seymour told the media he was sorry for the outburst.  “I apologize to my teammates,” Seymour said. “I never want to do anything to hurt the team. You always want to protect yourself, but there’s no excuse.”

Today’s Inappropriate Jock Endorsement: Ben Roethlisberger for eHarmony

Anyone think the Steeler’s Ben Roethlisberger could be a new pitchman for the love-connection site, eHarmony?

Yeah, me neither. But he is already looking for love in all the wrong places. Maybe he’s just frustrated because he can’t find the right match. Well, hey, isn’t that just what eHarmony does?

We think the NFL could solve a lot of it’s uh, “personal conduct” problems by giving out free subscriptions to eHarmony to all unmarried rookies.

NFL Tells Ben "I Like ‘Em Drunk" Roethlisberger to Sit in Corner for Six Weeks, Think About What He’s Done

How much does a night of drunken bar sex cost? In the case of one well-known NFL quarterback the estimates are close to $2.8 million. Up until yesterday the Steelers were standing by their man, but now seem to want him to walk the line . . . or some other country song title. (Below, Tony Romo’s ex country singer Carrie Underwood sings “Stand by Your Man” for Big Ben.)

The NFL cracked down on one of its stars Wednesday, suspending Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for not merely a few games but the first six of the season, even though he avoided sexual-assault charges in Georgia. Roethlisberger’s behavior reportedly has triggered what once would have been unthinkable: The Steelers are testing the market to trade him. According to an espn.com report, the club had called several teams, including the 49ers and Raiders, by Wednesday afternoon.

The 49ers at this point have not expressed any interest in the quarterback, according to a league source. The Raiders don’t comment on other teams’ players. The two-time Super Bowl winner was banned without pay for violating the NFL’s personal-conduct policy and was ordered to undergo a “comprehensive behavioral evaluation by professionals.”
