I think we’ve all become used to the idea of hearing about our athletes doing something that the average human being would consider idiotic. I think that most forget that to play sports for a living, and to get paid to do so, is work yes, but it a privilege given to so few. When you take that privilege and that honor and turn the damn thing on its head by fighting dogs or firing weapons in clubs, then you’re the worst kind of idiot..a.n idiot when means. The athletes who are respected…MJ, Tiger Woods, Ripken’s, and the Williamses…have a standard for themselves. Hold yourself to it and be the excellence that you portray on the field.

As for the dudes listed above (Vick, Burress, PAcman, etc)…they should be shipped off to Alaska to start their won NFL franchise, the Klondikes. OJ could coach.

It still does not make sense that these athletes still carry a “it won’t happen to me, maybe the next dude but not me.” Stallworth could have avoided that but on the real, there are many folks who drive a little buzzed. However, he has so much more to lose and should protect that.

I believe what Vick did was idiotic, but he’s paid his debt society. What more do people want from him? He went to jail for like 2 years, lost the majority of his money, and lost his career as a QB in a game he worked his a$$ off to excel in. Now teams are afraid to touch him because they are afraid of the PETA backlash. That’s ridiculous. Stallworth was irresponsible and I have sympathy for him. Burress was just..dumb…period. You can’t forget other dumb athletes like Matt Jones and others. It’s crazy how these guys have no common sense or self-control to not risk their livelihoods doing stupid things. Pacman Jones keeps getting 2nd and 3rd chances and he keeps messing up. The NFL should require these athletes to get life coaches and financial advisors.
