Raiders DT Richard Seymour was ejected from today’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, after delivering an open-handed punch to the face of QB Ben Roethlisberger.
The incident happened in the 2nd quarter as Roethlisberger celebrated a 22-yard touchdown pass. The QB got in between Seymour and a Steelers O-lineman (who were already engaged in some friendly chatter), and apparently said something that Seymour took exception to.
Roethlisberger probably took a dive to make sure the penalty was called, but you can’t help but wonder what Big Ben could have said to Seymour to elicit that kind of response. Maybe he was back to his old tricks and made some unwanted advances. Perhaps he though Seymour was “DTF”?
UPDATE: After the game, Seymour apologized for his actions … but not to Roethlisberger or anything:
“I apologize to my teammates,” Seymour said afterward. “I never want to do anything to hurt the team. You always want to protect yourself, but there’s no excuse. … I’m not sure why he [Roethlisberger] ran up on me. I just turned around and it was a natural reaction.”
Note to self: don’t run up on Richard Seymour. Ever. Good to know. Watch the smack down below (looped 3x in slo-mo for good measure):

Unfortunately for the Raiders, that was pretty much the only good shot they got in today … the Steelers went on to win the game 35-3.

Nice shot, Richard…thanks!!
Thought Ben was stupid for not wearing a helmet, but still liked him until his latest escapade. Now I think he is down right slime! Way to Go, Richard, he deserved it. It sure made me feel good, too!
Awww, they were just playing a game of touch. Ben touch Richard and Richard touched him back.
*Note to Big Ben, Maybe that stuff flies with young drunk girls, But Richard doesn’t like to be touched and have derogatory remarks made to him. On a good note, you might have a career in Acting after football.
That clown, Pig Pen deserved it. Ben started it and Seymour finished it. Everyone should send Richard Seymour a thank you card with $5.00 in it to help cover the fine. And we are getting off cheap..$5.00 to watch Seymour smack Ben? My new favorite video! And I got a chuckle from all the Steelers that came to defend Pig Ben after the slap….NONE. Guess his teammates can’t stand him either. Thank you Mr. Seymour and Happy Thanskgiving.
What a wuss. No wonder he picks on girls. That was nothing but a open handed push and he hits the ground. That made Rootlessburger look like a real candy ass. Better stick with sassing girls.
WOW… there’s more BOTTOM OF PIT-HOLE TRASH on here than I thought!
