There is Seriously Something Wrong With the NFL … another player arrested
Posted by: chick, in NFL
I feel like this NFL off-season has been marred by the weirdest events: Tony Gonzalez saves a man’s life, Michael Vick, behind bars, filed for bankruptcy … 10-15 million dollars worth of debt!, and former-NFLer Steve Foley finally settled in his famous cop shooting. And mind you, all of these stories occured THIS week!
But what bothers me this NFL off-season is the high rate of arrests within current NFL players. This morning it was reported that Jacksonville WR, Matt Jones, was arrested on Cocaine charges AND cops actually caught him in the credit card cutting act! W.T.F. is wrong with all these players this season! As if the Chris Henry, Cedric Benson, and Adam “No Longer Pacman” Jones’ are no longer good enough for the NFL, good guys like Jones, Lofa Tatupu, and Kevin Faulk are all feeling the hand of the law! What’s even sadder is the fact that ALL of the arrests with the players mentioned above had to do with drugs, alcohol, or both.
Commissioner Goodell seems to pride himself on “cleaning up” the NFL. But the Matt Jones story made me think …
… remember when you were little and your Mom told you, “don’t touch the stove, it’s hot.” And you laid that little sucker on the red hot stove anyway because you did the opposite of what your Mom told you to do? Well I believe that the current no tolerance policy Goodell has in place is the same theory. Maybe it’s time for a little reverse pyschology Roger!
