Richard Seymour comes on like a mature, good teammate. I believe he showed who he really is when he slugged Ben Roethlisberger in the jaw on Sunday after Big Ben threw a TD pass. Ben seemed to say something to Seymour and Seymour knocked him down. No class on that one. The officials threw the belligerent and unruly Seymour out of the game and he is likely to get fined and even suspended. He later apologized to his team, but that didn’t make up for his absence or his unprofessional behavior. He clearly hurt his team when they needed him. 

Even if players are verbally provoked as Ben might have provoked Seymour, they are taught to turn the other cheek so they don’t do something stupid to hurt their team. Seymour, who pulled a player’s hair last year, never learned the lesson and did something stupid and got tossed. Now he is embarrassed and the Raiders lost. Bad day for Richard Seymour.
