Seems like they are all overpaid criminals lately. Takes away from the game if you ask me. Go Brett Farve. One of the only real people left in football.

The worst part about the whole ordeal is that people ACTUALLY look up to these players, or should I say "Thugs"
It's amazing how we suspend them for what, a week, when the penalty should be far worse, even banning.
Shawn Merriman is a perfect example, this guy is "charged"(Wow, that puts a HUGE DENT in his wallet!) for steroid use for what...A week or 2? It's pathetic, and it's only gonna get worst until someone acts by putting a severe punishment, otherwise the NFL will be nothing but watching a bunch of Thugs playing for the money.

Yup, it is really getting out of hand. I'm just glad the Steelers cut him loose before that happened. The NFL needs to toughen up is policies when it comes to off the field problems and the need to start with the likes of Pac-man Jones and Tank Johnson.
KK, Farve is far from the only "real person" left in the NFL. Its just seems like all of them break the law because that is all the media tells you about. Example, if a player is arrested for DUI the same day his team mate is holding a fund raiser for a good cause which story do you think you are going to hear about.

I am very disappointed with the behavoir of some the players in the NFL.Especially the Cinncinatti Bengals for one.You would think that these players would have responsibility.I think players should sign contracts with behavioral clauses and when they don't behave,then the contract is void.They want to be professionals,it's time to act like them.

Not anymore. It's so common these days that I don't really pay much attention to it. I only watch NFL for Fantasy Football purposes... I have a league with some college buddies. Beyond that, I don't care much for professional sports. I just can't make myself care about those people who don't really care about their job. I know some of them do, but too many don't. I'm big into college ball. Go Cocks!

You're not the only one. A new law is coming forward asking for a three strikes rule against repetitive law offenders in the NFL.
Guess who is heading this? Not the new commissioner. Not the owners or managers or even coaches.
It's the NFL players union! I'm all for it.

I do not follow professional football, but based on my own knowledge about sports, many athletes think that they are above the law. They think they are gods, which is why many of them will refuse to give autographs or charge for autographs. It is not surprising that those types of athletes get in trouble with the law.

It definately gives all of them a black eye. Why is it that it always centers around a strip club of some kind. It's just plain stupid.

It should leave everyone speechless, all I can say is if I was bigger then all of them, I'd kick their *** until they're the size of T.O.'s ego.

The Bengals need to calm down.
Pac-man had it coming.
