If you believed you tag line there would be no NFL. Half of them would be dead or in jail. They are, with a few exceptions, a bunch of self centered, spoiled, rich punks who without the luck and yes talent, would be playing street ball and involved in the criminal justice system as inmates or in the shock trauma unit with multiple gsw's. If the NFL, without the greed that is pervasive, had their players stick to the rules that the rest of us attempt to follow, most would be in the aforementioned places in life.

The NFL is much better in this regard than it was 10 or 20 years ago. Now the exception are the self centered ones. I.e. the ones that make news. Plus, the NFL has the age limit which has helped them start with more majure players to begin with.

"With few exceptions", huh? For every Rae Carruth, Ray Lewis, or Jamal Lewis, I could name a few who don't get involved with that kind of stuff and donate their time/money to charities. The bad apples get all the attention because that's what the media wants.
