Roethlisberger's suspension reduced to four games

Football Betting Lines

09/03/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has reduced the suspension of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger from six to four games.

The NFL Network reported that the reduction came after Goodell met with Roethlisberger Friday morning.

Roethlisberger had initially been suspended in April for violating the league's personal conduct policy after being accused of sexual assault by a 20-year-old woman at a Georgia nightclub. Criminal charges were never filed.

Goodell had stated that Roethlisberger's punishment could be reduced if the two-time Super Bowl champion had followed league guidelines.

Roethlisberger was cleared to participate in preseason practices and games after completing an initial evaluation period. He will now miss the team's first four regular-season games and will be unable to participate in any practices with the team until after the October 3 contest against Baltimore.

Since the Steelers have a bye the following week, Roethlisberger won't play in his first game of the 2010 campaign until October 17 against Cleveland. That will, however, give him two weeks of practice with team.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
