At the end of the day, this is all entertainment and it's hard to take the NFL seriously outside the scope of a children's game. We have former players who get paid to make jokes on screen and talk about young men's dirty laundry. Then these same guys go out and beat up a pair of hookers. As much as I love guys like Michael Irvin within the realm of football, you're fooling yourself if you think he's anything more than a clown. Same goes for guys like Commissioner Goodell, the team owners and the team coaches.
