Guess they got tired of his bullshit.

Apparently they sometimes frown on sexual assault.

The man is a moron who could have been worshiped like a god in this city if he continued producing and never even won another Super Bowl. Sadly his poor judgment has gotten him into a motorcycle accident and two sexual assault incidents. The suspension was a little harsher than I expected and probably a little worse than it should be for someone who wasn't even charged with anything but bad timing and bad luck means he deserves it. As much emotion and time as I invest in watching the Steelers I would not mind seeing the sure thing go and replacing him with a more ambiguously talented prospect who could keep his nose clean. Just not Kordell Stewart or Tommy Maddox clones please.

At this point I don't really care what happens to him. I've read a lot of stories about him being a giant douche bag off the field. It sucks this will be how his time in Pittsburgh ends and more than likely what his legacy will be, but he has only himself to blame for it.

I've already hated him since I work in his hometown and everyone I've talked to who either knew him or went to high school with him says hes a giant fucking asshole. Which is funny because everyone around here who DIDNT know him is now a huge Steelers fan all of a sudden.
