A few Pittsburgh players expressed their feelings regarding the punishment Oakland Raider Richard Seymour received after he struck Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in the face last Sunday. The consensus was that it was not strict enough and that if the same thing had happened to a high-profile quarterback à la Brady or Manning that the punishment would have been more severe.

Steelers upset about Seymour fine
Friday, November 26th, 2010BCS controversy
Thursday, November 25th, 2010Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee created quite a fuzz when he expressed his thoughts on whether or not programs like TCU and Boise State are deserving of a shot at a national title should they run the table from here on out.
Here is what he said according to espn.com:
“Well, I don’t know enough about the Xs and Os of college football,” said Gee, formerly the president at West Virginia, Colorado, Brown and Vanderbilt universities. “I do know, having been both a Southeastern Conference president and a Big Ten president, that it’s like murderer’s row every week for these schools. We do not play the Little Sisters of the Poor. We play very fine schools on any given day.
“So I think until a university runs through that gauntlet that there’s some reason to believe that they not be the best teams to [be] in the big ballgame.”
