What message did the Pittsburgh Steelers send by booting one highly troubled player while retaining another? Inquiring minds would like to know. You hold onto a guy coming off back-to-back off-seasons of sexual allegations, but trade a guy who’s coming off back-to-back seasons of drug charges. See the difference? Sex scandals and drugs often go together, but are nowhere near related.

Speak Out: Do you think negative behavior by players will tarnish Steelers image?
Category: Sports Written by Courier Newsroom
The recent Santonio Holmes and Ben Roethlisberger incidents have filled the news so we asked Pittsburghers what they thought. Here’s what you said:
“Yes. The Steelers have the most integrity of all professional sports and they’ve always been that way. They’re not putting up with no nonsense. See what they did to Cedrick Wilson, wife beater? Where is he today? When was the last time you heard his name in football? It looks bad for the city.”

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP)—Kultida Woods was worried.
No, her son wasn’t being slapped with divorce papers. No mistresses or porn stars were stalking him.
But he did seem on the verge of throwing away any chance he had to win the Masters. And at this moment that seemed like the most critical part of Tiger Woods’ recovery so far.
“Bogey?” Mrs. Woods yelled out from her vantage point off the seventh fairway. “Come on now, stop that.”

NEW YORK (AP)—Events such as the Masters golf tournament remind Bryant Gumbel why he does “Real Sports” on HBO.

| REACHES MILESTONE—In this Oct. 22, 2007 file photo, Bryant Gumble arrives for the Whitney Gala at the Whitney Museum of American Art, in New York City.

The monthly newsmagazine marks 15 years on the air this week, standing even more alone as a home for strong television journalism than it did in 1995. Gumbel, its host, suggests the deals that media companies make to televise sporting events—for example, CBS and ESPN for the Masters—keep competitors largely out of that business.
