Some never grow up. Idiots and police are out and about at 2 am and then tend to meet up at some point. I don't expect players to live like monks on the other hand I don't expect them to get into altercation that can cost them and their team.
Agree but when you consider the % that gets highlighted by the media against the entire NFL population, that's probably less than the national average.
What irritates me is that they inflate this for dramatic effect like ESPN turning over the entire pregame to discuss one player, Ray Rice, that had committed DV as if this was a NFL runaway problem. When I need the likes of that panel to be my moral compass, I am cashing in my chips. When Cris Carter becomes my conscience, I will be done.
The problem, as I see it, isn't players breaking rules because we've always had that but the media jumping the stump and trying to make it into something that it isn't. On the day Rice and his fiancée were in that elevator, how many other players were not beating on their girlfriends, fiancée's or wives?
