For anyone who wants to write off the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010, Hines Ward isn’t hearing it.

Steelers WR Hines Ward told “NFL Total Access” that suspended QB Ben Roethlisberger needs to address the entire team about his offseason incident.

The suspension of Ben Roethlisberger has major fantasy implications for next season, one of which involves Rashard Mendenhall.

Add Solomon Wilcots to the chorus of opinions on Ben Roethlisberger. The former defensive back, who spent one season with the Steelers in 1992, sat down with Fran Charles on Monday’s “NFL Total Access” and offered his take on how the league should handle the situation and what Pittsburgh should do on draft day in response.

Much like his image off the field, the fantasy appeal of Ben Roethlisberger is falling fast.

Santonio Holmes, now a member of the Jets, faces a four-game suspension and a major decrease in fantasy appeal.

Steelers receiver Hines Ward would much rather be playing in the Super Bowl, but while he’s in town for events during the week, he at least offered up his prediction for the game.

NFL.com goes in search of the REAL story this week – the Dog Bowl 2010: Touchdown Treats Championship. This canine carnival is being held all morning at the Bayside Marketplace in downtown Miami and promises to be a riot of tricks, stunts and football-themed events as various local dogs compete for the MVP award – the Most Valuable Pooch.
