"They should shave his head, as my buddy Tim

Williams feels that his greasy mullet doesn't exactly promote an image

of sincere remorse."

Jonathan Myers

Assistant Sports Editor

"Make him eat nothing but Roethlis-burgers

from Peppi's for the entire season, then have him joust with a heavily

armored Terry Bradshaw. Or ship him off to the Raiders. His

choice."

Casey Michel

Former Thresher Editor in Chief

"Ben Roethlisberger deserves to be

suspended by the Steelers for no less than three games. He clearly

does not understand that it is a privilege not only to be the face of

an NFL franchise, but to play for an owner as admired and respected as

Art Rooney."

Ryan Glassman

Sports Staff Writer

"Send Ben to Pine Grove Behavioral Health

& Addiction Services in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. According to

Tiger, they know what they're doing down there."

Natalie Clericuzio

Sports Editor
