Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger criticizes the NFL's demanding schedule, particularly the Wednesday game against the Chiefs, which is the team's third game in 11 days. He argues that the short turnaround time doesn't allow players enough time to recover and increases the risk of injuries.
An NYPD lieutenant who earned $200,000 in overtime wants his suspension revoked following sexual abuse allegations against Jeffrey Maddrey. His former Steelers side is scheduled to play the Chiefs on Wednesday, marking the team's third game in 11 days. 'It's miserable,' Roethlisberger said on his 'Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger ' podcast. '... It's a shame that the league does this.
It just shows that it's all about money and this is a way that they can make more money and figure this thing out because it's not fair for the players.' Russell Wilson goes all out for Steelers O-line gifts — including $10K gift cards and wife Ciara’s rum. Chiefs, Chargers and Steelers named potential Diontae Johnson landing spots as Ravens run ends. 'You wanna talk about injuries and making the game safer, changing the kickoff rule and preventing guys on hip-drop tackles, and concussions, and this that and the other, but you’re going to make guys play the most violent game in the world, arguably, three games in days,' Roethlisberger said. 'I mean, there’s no time for your body to get healthy and rest.' 'When you’re going from a Saturday to a Wednesday, your body is not recovering fast enough,' Roethlisberger said. 'And now you’re asking these guys to go out and play and beat each other up, and it’s a shame. It’s obviously a money thing for the NFL. And I know I’m gonna be watching, people are gonna be watching, so they’re getting what they want. NFL intends to play games on Christmas every year. 'Christmas Day is Christmas Day, and it doesn’t wait around for what day it’s on,' Jones said in a radio interview. 'We want to be there on Christmas Day. 'I would think the future is whatever day it’s on, we’re going to be there on Christmas.'
