Alright, that's all well and good.
He deserved what the league gave him, and unlike you, I can believe it, because it just happened.
Are you just in disbelief he was suspended at all, or were you not following the entire hoopla that ESPN was making of this story for the past several months now?
That Steelers' quarterback is a knucklehead, he should not have even allowed himself to be put in that situation, let alone have it come back to haunt him a second (third?) time. For the past several offseasons, he's been an increasing headache to his organization, and him making headlines for his foolish and reckless acts while not in-season reflects very poorly on how the NFL wants to operate, and be seen (inter-)nationally.
He also violated the NFL personal conduct policy, so what were you expecting? Just because he didn't get charged on criminal or civil grounds, doesn't mean he won't be punsihed and face a stipend by his employers (ie, the Pittburgh Football Org., and the whole of the NFL).
