It was way more the year of the lock out, its less than 1% of the league...really not that bad

 

You say it like it's not a big deal when in all reality it is

 

It's much lower than males their age in the general population by percentage.

 

It's really not... half of those charges ain't crap.

 

Bar fights, public intoxication, weed possesion, drinking and driving, bad language, mischief? come on now, thats stuff i do regularly without getting caught lol

Look up stats on how many people get arrested in the general population, its staggering. Also how many people do ANY jail time by x age.

NFL has a few uneducated low class thugs who made it big and dont leave their hood (Rolando Mcclain perfect example)(Hernandez not since hes from Briston freaking connecticut) but for the most part 20 something arrests out of what? like 2800 players...not a big deal, especially with cat crap like public drunkeness and cheating at craps in vegas lol

 

Haha I don't remember reading about Coples cheating at craps.

Allegedly.

 

The problem is that there have been so many is such a short amount of time. Your a NFL player, you should not be getting busted for pot. You should be able to hide that kind of sh!t behind an autograph. They are just too damn stupid to know any better

 

bunch of uneducated, low class people though that just happen to all of a sudden become very wealthy....what do you expect?

They were pampered athletes in their respective regions, but just because they "went to a college" doesnt mean they are educated. How people can be surprised by athletes being a dumbasses must have never heard some of them speak, or rather not be able to put a sentence together

 

Titus was king of the list until Hernandez

 

Trumaine Johnson, St. Louis Rams (March 22): Arrested for misdemeanor DUI in Montana

In montana? lol

Jason peters drag racing is great too

 

I saw the arrests in Montana and North Dakota and was incredibly confused lol

 

The ugly truth is out...

Not all NFL players are choir boys, rocket scientists, ministers, etc.

What are we to tell the children???

 

haha. i love the cheating at craps one .............

 

That is 27 arrests too many.

 

We are up to 29 players now...

 

They should develop a near zero tolerance policy with DUI's and marijuana. Make examples out of some players and this crap would stop. DUI or marijuana possessions one year suspension automatic with no pay. Next time you get a ban for life. These guys are not little kids they are an extension of the NFL even when not playing. If you act like an idiot you need to be treated like one.

 

Especially for DUI. For a player to get a DUI/DWI is just dumb...

 

i'm with you on this one Tark. i guess it just doesn't bother me that some NFL players are not 'good role models'. if they ARE strong moral characters, that's just a 'plus' to me. but i don't follow the sport to be impressed by the moral characters. i follow it because they play the sport i love at the highest level. it's just entertainment.

for me, it's similar to all of the actors and musicians that are complete idiots and say ridiculously stupid political/societal crap. they're idiots but that is not going to stop me from watching them if they are in a really good movie or make really good music.

no one in the sports world or hollywood is ever going to affect my life or my family's life personally so i can just view whatever it is they do to entertain me from a distance.
