"I think in part because the league doesn't want certain games to be played without certain quarterbacks. No offense to the other [New England] Patriots, but who's gong to watch the Patriots without Tom Brady and the Saints without Drew Brees. That's the way it is. They want to protect those guys because they are the marquee guys of this league, and you don't want them to get hurt."
-Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers marquee quarterback
I don't know what's more patently absurd, that Big Ben here thinks he's not in that protected group of "marquee QBs," or that he doesn't realize the Pats went 11-5 the year Tom Brady played one quarter of football. Newsflash Big Rapist: the league doesn't hand out a memo on which "marquee QBs" are to be protected and which are left to rot. The officials make mistakes just like any human being does. Granted, these "mistakes" are often based upon personal, racial, or gambling based prejudices. Or in the case of the officials not calling penalties for hitting Mike Vick, all of the above.
Either way, Ben Roethlisberger is fat and he probably raped a chick and initiated a cover up of the whole thing, then got married just months later. These are facts.
Pretty much sums it up.
