This type of thing is becoming all too common throughout the NFL and it should be deemed unacceptable by sports fans. These guys make way too much money to be as irresponsible as they are and they all know the rules. They hurt their teams tremendously and that is the bottom line. I am getting extremely tired of hearing all of the reasons and excuses for this stupid and highly irresponsible behavior. There should be very dramatic consequences beyond just missing games and money. Many of these players should be cut and evaluated very closely for pick-up by the next (potential victim) team.
