Well you give young guys millions of dollars and the rest of the lifestyle that goes with being a NFL player and they are going to have to fight hard to stay on the right path. I couldnt imagine making 5 million a year at my age (23). Some guys are grounded enough to do well other arent.
well you have to admit, that was the first arrest in about 3 weeks... but also there are more players in the NFL than any team in the league... i mean you dont find 55 guys on the sidelines in the basketball court, or 55 guys in the baseball dugout on. theres an average of 55 on each NFL team i believe, compared to maybe 14 for NBA and 18 for MLB... so thats partly why we have more arrests... but if you took the guys that actually play atleast 15 games a season, who are you going to find other than Pacman Jones and Micheal Vick?? not that many right?? i know if NBA teams had 55 players on a team, they would have tripple the amount of problems that the NFL has.

wow. you're reaching. i have about 55 people working in my office and NONE of us have been arrested, ever! And you're boasting about going 3 weeks? Why do we hold these morons to such a low standard?
A source close to free-agent running back Travis Henry has confirmed he has tested positive for marijuana again and is subject to a one-year suspension by the NFL.
Travis Henry has fathered at least nine children among nine women. ESPN's Chris Mortenson also reported this during an episode of 'Sunday NFL Countdown' on October 7, 2007. Other reports state that he has had to borrow money from the Titans after falling behind in his child-support payments.

im sure the people in your office are on the mary jane as well. they've experienced it for so long that they know how to not get caught by the police, they know all the steps into running away because they've been arrested in the past for havin $1,000 in cash in their pocket while smokin pot in their own, damn, home!! BURN!
Ok, some players get stupid and get arrested and now we should stop liking the NFL for that..... Ok. I'll stop watching the NFL. I'm no longer an NFL fan.....
And while I'm at it, I'll stop liking the NBA because of fixed games, and I'll hate Major Leauge Baseball for its steroid scandals, and I'll stop getting into the NHL because of it's lack of minorities.....
Ok. I'll do that...... when soccer fans stop rioting and fighting in the stadium. Hmmm, funny. No one ever seems to mention that on these anti-NFL posts...... I wonder why?
Really guys? I hate to break it to you but it's everywhere.....it's in our schools, businesses, govronment ETC.....as I stated previously....it's not just sports. Should we stop sending our children to school because of it? Well, some people have......but no matter how hard you try to elimiate it.....it's part of the times right now....maybe, hopefully, it will change in the generations to come but right now, sadly it is part of the current trend or times or whatever you want to call it.

That argument makes no sense. NFL players are placed on a pedestal and praised as if they were nobility. Nobody is praising soccer FANS. We're talking about players, not fans.

The point I was making was that EVERY sport has it's faults. People praise NBA players and MLB players and they make mistakes, but there's no "Why I hate the NBA or MLB" thread.
And fans are just as much appart of the game as the players. You think it looks good for soccer when you have people burning stadiums in Europe just because they're "passionate" ?
BTW, it's wrong to praise ANY athlete. They're just people, like you or me. They can do stupid things just as much as someone with no athletic skills what so ever. It doesn't mean its right, but it's just the truth. It doesn't mean you should just be completely turned off by the NFL just becasue you love to point out what the bad that happens instead of what the NFL truly represents.
