If a white NFL player had unleashed a torrent of racial abuse on a black officer who pulled him over, he would have been released by his team.

His career would be at an end.

BTW, I notice that the NFL has completely replaced the NBA as the sports league of felons.

You wouldn't catch LeBron James pulling this kind of garbage.

I've noticed that too somewhat, but the NBA still has a long way to go to shed itself of its image problems.

I’m sure most of you have heard the old joke:
What do you call a/an (NFL player, UT player, Auburn player- fill in your choice) in a coat and tie?

The defendant.

Hey, the white courtesy phone is ringing and it is for John Rocker! I know, different sport, but it seems to prove your point.

Not only that but we wouldn’t have to wait two years to know about it.

I don’t know about that but then I used to live in IN (Pacers) talk about league of felons and then we have the Colts for the most part a well mannered team.

I think pro sports is out of control between the salaries and the egos....I find myself really enjoying college game day....
