Ben Roethlisberger will be suspended 4-6 games for violating the NFL personal conduct policy, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Adam Schefter.

The conditional suspension can be reduced to four games based on Roethlisberger behavior and compliance with clinical evaluators.

The Steelers were reportedly bracing for an eight-game suspension, so this news may come as a small relief.

Ouch, LOL

Most of the Steelers fans I've met go out of their way to be obnoxious, so I'm happy anytime something bad happens to the Steelers.

Pittsburgh, say hello to Jimmy Clausen, The Golden Calf of Bristol, or Colt McCoy!

mortreport:

Reported to ESPN by @Adam_Schefter & mysefl - Roethlisberger's suspension will be minimum of 4 games...

The suspension is expected to be conditional - could be 6 games reduced to 4 based on behavior & compliance with league doctors, etc.

No double jeopardy. The agreement was a collabrative effort.

I say 4 games with some counseling and community outreach.

I'm sitting here asking myself who in the hell would trade for Ben right now? (besides the Raiders).
