Just as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be held accountable for his actions, so will the Pittsburgh Steelers. If (and when) Roethlisberger is punished, the franchise is facing a fine upwards of six figures, possibly in the neighborhood of $200,000, for the behavior of Roethlisberger and former Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes, according to a league source. Two seasons ago, when the NFL implemented its personal conduct policy, it also mandated that teams would be responsible for their players' off-the-field transgressions and if any player ran afoul of the policy's personal conduct guidelines, a team also would be accountable.

That's a stupid policy. What happens off the field should the responsibility of th player. The team shouldn't be held accountable for their actions.
One of Goodell's new policies...from last season I believe...maybe the year before? I don't mind it...
