Ben Roethlisberger Suspended for 6 Games
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello tweets that Roethlisberger has been suspended six games. "He must undergo comprehensive behavioral evaluation," Aiello added.
The suspension can be reduced to four games if the Steelers QB meets certain conditions, but "failure [to] cooperate [could] lead to longer suspension," according to Aiello.
In an at-times severely critical letter to Roethlisberger, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell wrote that "there is nothing about your conduct in Milledgeville that can remotely be described as admirable, responsible, or consistent with either the values of the league or the expectations of our fans."

"Your conduct raises sufficient concerns that I believe effective intervention now is the best step for your personal and professional welfare," he wrote.
Goodell said on Monday that Roethlisberger violated the league's personal-conduct policy.

While no charges were ultimately filed, documents from the police investigation revealed unflattering information about Roethlisberger.
