Bell and Blount...A Storm on the Horizon?

There's no denying the stupidity of what these two knucklehead running backs did last week. Do they not understand the cascading impact of what this could do to the team. If Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount want to smoke some weed, don't do it in your car on McKnight Road, one of the busiest roads in Pittsburgh. Do it at home! While it doesn't sound like a suspension will be coming any time soon, here's what could get interesting once the league dishes out its discipline.

If they get more than a one game suspension, what will the players and owners think about that when comparing it to Ray Rice's two game suspension for beating the tar out of his wife. Would this show that league is more concerned over players smoking marijuana, which is being legalized in more and more places, rather than players involved in domestic violence incidents? Matt Prater already got a 4 game suspension for drinking a few beers after an initial substance abuse issue.

For anybody who saw the video evidence of Ray Rice dragging his unconscious wife out of the elevator, how could he only get two games? Now, don't get me wrong on this...Ben Roethlisberger is certainly no saint here, but there was no where near the evidence in his case of what the league had on Rice, and he got suspended for six games initially (later reduced to four). May have been the best thing to happen to Big Ben as he seems to gotten things together since then. 

So, what's next? The league needs to figure out its player discipline strategy before its inconsistencies cause major issues.
