Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, in his first public comments since being suspended six games by the NFL for violating the league's personal conduct policy, apologized to his teammates and the team's fans Monday, saying he will make changes expected of him and that he won't file an appeal of the punishment. "The Commissioner's decision to suspend me speaks clearly that more is expected of me," Roethlisberger said in a statement posted on the Steelers' website and e-mailed to media. "I am accountable for the consequences of my actions. "Though I have committed no crime, I regret that I have fallen short of the values instilled in me by my family. I will not appeal the suspension and will comply with what is asked of me -- and more."
