Also IDC I like the packers if it were any team but the Steelers playing them I wouldve been rooting like hell for the pack. Seeing Aaron Rodgers celebrating there makes me happy for him... he's a good guy, a good player, (much better guy than Big Ben, I would agree) and certainly deserves this.

Big Ben raping people? As he wasn't brought to trial and proven guilty in a court of law, I have no way of knowing. It's possible that he did, it's also possible she was a stupid little girl hoping to make some money. I know he was accused, and I'm aware the countless eyewitness reports confirm he was being super-sketchy to say the least, putting himself in a ******ed-bad situation. I am by no means a Big Ben fan; I think his actions were despicable and I'm not truly convinced he's reformed although the media have anointed him as such. I would not be upset if the Steelers were to cut him, although I would question the timing if they were to do it tomorrow...
RE: James Harrison and illegal hits; I would fully agree he hits people illegally. I also contend that these new rules are stupid and their enforcement is subjective. Leading with your helmet is especially dumb, as helmets are atop one's head and leading with your shoulder is necessarily leading with your helmet. Test it out. Lean forward 'dropping your shoulder' and tell me what the farthest forward part of your body is. That's right, it's your head. Helmet-to-helmet blows are more often than not the result of the person being hit making an adjustment; as anyone that's played or even watched football knows, lowering your center of gravity is the best way to gain leverage in a tackle and throw force into it. It's also the best way to bounce off a tackle; therefore, both players lowering their center of gravity, and the tackler necessarily having his helmet as the forward-most part of his body, even more-so due to him lowering his center of gravity; both players making rapid adjustments... helmet to helmet contact is an inevitablity a certain percentage of the time.
Re: Ward... Ward blocks players, and he hits them hard, lowering his center of gravity as he does. He has to do this even more than other players, as he's a tiny WR hitting linebackers with 33% more mass than him (and leveling them too, I might add). Whether he hits them head-on or when they aren't looking is a function of where he's coming from on the field, and certainly not by design. Those claiming he won't smash someone in their face are simply being willfully ignorant.
