Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
While dealing Roethlisberger seems like the most unlikely outcome of all, we tend to agree with PFT's Mike Florio, who suggests the fact that a local network affiliate is openly discussing unsubstantiated rumors relating to the once-unthinkable notion that Roethlisberger could be traded offers a pretty good indication that anti-Ben sentiment in the area has reached a fever pitch. It is a remarkable development. It's also a something that could become even more fervent if/when Roethlisberger misses game time due to his indescretions. Stay tuned. It's safe to say we'll have more on this story -- both in terms of hard news and rumor -- in coming days.
