Show Recap - Friday September 03, 2010

If it seems to dumb to be true it usually is. Speculation prior to their meeting today had Ben Roethlisberger and his reps actually asking Roger Goodell to knock his suspension all the way down to 3 games. Who are your advisors? Houston Nutt.

Jason Varitek thinks that’s cornball.
