Slippery Slope

April 22, 2010
Ben Roethlisberger's behavior off the field has been discussed endlessly in recent weeks and I won't rehash the list of alleged transgressions, both minor and major.
But what concerns me most isn't whether Ben is out of football for four or six games. What concerns me is the NFL's slowly expanding oversight of player behavior (and the clear erosion of influence by the National Football League Players Association). What began as a new commissioner clamping down on several clearly bad actors has evolved into penalizing players who are not being charged by local prosecutors for their offenses.
