Per Adam Schefter:
Let's rule out some more potential landing spots for Ben Roethlisberger: No Raiders, no Jaguars.

If Schefter is right then that seals it. Ben won't be traded.

Ha ha, to true. I remember watching their Americans Game presentation for the year they beat us in the Super Bowl and they relished in the fact that they basically did whatever they could to cheat. Or as they explained it "gaining and edge." Stuff like deflated balls for opponents during home games, getting away with holding calls on purpose, hitting people in scrums after the play, stuff like that.
Weren't they also the team that watered the field strategically to create mud pits on sunny California game days where it hadn't rained for weeks, and their players knew where they were?
I saw that last week on NFLN...think it was the Raiders. It was on Top 10 Home Field Advantages.

Yeah that was another thing they did. I knew there were a few things more out of the norm then the things I listed.

I've seen their ads, kind of a sports bar place if I remember correctly. Any news from their about Ben? has it affected biz?
Can't say it has because it is not widely known that he is an owner. I only came across the info after the case in GA. Before that I ate thier a few times, and Ben being an owner is not advertised in the establishment.

And just to be clear I don't think Lotus was suggesting that you could pay a debt to society. Rather he was anticipating the excuses you would hear from someone down the road thats would be interested in signing Ben after getting convicted.
@Buster -Glad to see someone that feels the same way I do about the crime in general.
I completely agree whole heartedly. Ther is so much pain for the woman after the fact. Like I said earlier it happened to my mom about 2 months ago, and to say the least there is not much in the way of healing so far. I have no sympathy for anyone who gets away with this kind of crime.

Let's hope he's not traded!! Then we can hopefully trade Campbell to the Raiders or Bills.

That's what happened to your mom?! Oh my! Damn, man I'm so so sorry. I'm speechless. I remember (I think) that you said her house had been broken to, but I didn't realize she'd been assaulted. That is just awful

Yeah, what I meant was that Vick's image improved with jail time served. Ben hasn't served jail time (sadly) so his image remains in the dumpster, where it belongs. Rehabilitated scum is looked upon more favorably than just plain scum.
