No I think the league is going to come crashing down on these guys. They are talking a 10game suspension for Tank and permanent if he does anything else. If that doesn't get some folks attention then they are just plainly too stupid to be allowed to make that kind of money.

It's like I've said all along, we just keep passing these gangsta's along and handling with kid gloves all their growing years because they can catch a football or shoot 3 pointers. Then we react like it's a mystery why some behave as they do with their big contracts. Giving an illiterate gang banger 30 million dollars cause he can block a freight train didn't suddenly make the guy smarter or less of a gangsta.

So the real problem is the junior programs need to start shutting the ill behavior and shit talking down and punish violators harshly before this will ever change IMO. The NFL just needs to start placing more emphasis on character and stop drafting these buffoons because they are who they are and money won't change that. Either that or warehouse all of these thugs with the Raiders. Al seems to enjoy busing them from lock up to practice.
