USA Today maintains a database of arrests, charges, and citations of N.F.L. players for anything more serious than a traffic citation. Maintained by Brent Schrotenboer, it goes back to 2000

Too bad they can't put that kind of effort into covering Obama Admin wrongdoings.

N.F.L. Sees Only What It Wants to See

Same can be said about Obama's Just Us department and Holder.

Several college football programs could rival the NFL with these problems. Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Florida State, Ohio State, Auburn, Miami, Texas, SMU, Colorado, and USC come to mind.

Very interesting statistics there. I’m not surprised to see the Giants near the very bottom of the list of criminal incidents among players. They’ve had a couple of high-profile knuckleheads over the years (Lawrence Taylor and Plaxico Burress, for example), but they’ve always tried to steer clear of “problem children” when putting their roster together. For years the had been known to screen out potential draft picks simply on the basis of intelligence tests, psychological profiles, and a player’s attitude/demeanor.

NFL decides to impose severe restrictions on teams’ players who are involved in legal trouble.

NFL cancels contracts for those players.

NFL consolidates from 32 teams to 24 teams.

I’m waiting for someone to bitch because the vast majority of players that have been in trouble/suspended have been Black. The NFL and their rules are obviously ......RACIST!!!

I believe that he's up to *three* murder charges now.

I love how they try to make it look like things were worse during the Bush years.

I stopped going to professional sports events and even watching on TV when the League took back Michael Vick. It told me that all they care about is the money. I will not buy tickets nor will I watch any sports event on TV until they clean up their collective acts. This latest “in your face” item just tells me that I made the right choice.

All the people wearing his number talking about what a great guy Rice is.

This mania over sports is ridiculous.

As long as their team wins who cares what kind of evil they perpetrate off the field.

Even if his claims of defending himself are true if you’re twice the size of your “aggressor” you should be able to “defend yourself” without inflicting such injuries on your “aggressor”.

Anyone that punches his wife is an a-hole, in or out of the NFL. For some fresh air take a look at Russell Wilson of the Seahawks - they don’t come any better as a man and role model. He’s at Children’s Hospital in Seattle every week with teammates visiting sick kids. He does not swear, drink alcohol or wear tattoos. Devout Christian. There are many others like him in the league that we don’t hear about.

Dressing the players up in pink every October doesn’t seem to be working.

Did you hear on the news that Jayru Campbell, the Cass Tech high school quarterback who assaulted a school security guard last winter was just arrested hours after being released from jail for assaulting his girlfriend in the school hallway.....?

This dumbass had been recruited by Mich. State for 2015 (but lost it) and now he gets arrested a second time.......

He's nothing but a thug who will likely end up in prison for good......

Back in the 1980's I lived in the Philadelphia area (where I grew up) and there was a guy who grew up in the same circles as many of my cousins and friends. He was an arrogant jerk, but still was at a lot of the local parties and things.

At the time he was selling cocaine to several of the Philadelphia Eagles, and was always complaining about how they would always come pounding on his door at all hours of the night looking to score... they were always drunk and obnoxious.

Finally, one of them got busted and ratted him out. His dad was a judge so he got off, but did lose his administrative job with the local (West Chester) police department. He's been painting houses ever since.

Now correlate this arrest data base with Chicago, Baltimore, and Detroit crime and arrest statistics. The problem is low intelligence and poor impulse control both biologically based.

...over the nearly 15 years that the USA Today data goes back, the 713 arrests mean that 2.53 percent of players have had a serious run-in with the law in an average year.

Which means the players as a whole are actually a little less likely to get in trouble than non-players of the same age.
