QB Ben Roethlisberger Breaks Down In Emotional Apology To Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Hines Ward said that QB Ben Roethlisberger emotionally addressed his teammates on Thursday night after his final game before a four-game suspension began. "He broke down," Ward told Steel City Insider, via CBS Sports. "The reality sets in. He's feeling the pain because now it's hitting home." Roethlisberger appeared in the Steelers' 19-3 win against the Panthers before heading to New York on Friday, where NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reduced his suspension for violating the league's personal-conduct policy from six to four games. The QB will not be allowed around the team during his suspension, so Thursday's game was the last interaction he'll be allowed before he serves the punishment. "He apologized to all the guys," Ward said. "It was very heartwarming. He didn't have to do it." Roethlisberger's suspension stemmed from an investigation into an alleged sexual assault against a 20-year-old woman. He was not arrested or charged, and later admitted to "dumb" and "immature" behavior. "It's very tough, kind of emotional. I just gotta do what I gotta do" said the QB.

I don't think he's as sorry about getting into shenanigans, as he is sorry he won't be able to play these 4 weeks of football, he probably broke down because of that feeling. Either way see ya in 4 weeks.

Well, he will have a good year, or have a Tiger Woods Post Scandal let down. My $$ would go for the let down. But I am biased.

I think you're far from wrong, everyone was saying he's looked better than ever in camp. I'm biased as well.
