Roethlisberger, in his first public comments since being suspended six games by the NFL for violating the league's personal conduct policy, apologized to his teammates and the team's fans Monday, saying he will make changes expected of him and that he won't file an appeal of the punishment. "[Commissioner Roger Goodell's] decision to suspend me speaks clearly that more is expected of me," Roethlisberger said in a statement.

I will not appeal the suspension and will comply with what is asked of me -- and more. ..." He'd better. While the six-game suspension will be reduced if Roethlisberger complies with all Goodell's requirements (more
