he probably saw Terrell Owens get a deal with Sharpie and was aiming for a cell phone gig. The whole stunt was pretty lame and looked forced and desparate for attention. These guys don't understand that the NFL only loses fans with this kind of crap.

I would carry that a step further. They may very well know it costs the NFL fans, but they simply do not care.

They have their money and it is guaranteed, so they could care less.

Agreed. The NFL, like the NBA, has embraced and allowed this stuff for years, and now, like the NBA, is paying the price. Best they get things back under control.

It's interesting that you would say that. I used to be a huge NFL football fan. I now haven't watched an NFL game in almost two full seasons, and it's on-field behavior like Joe Horn's and Terrell Owens' (among countless others) that has caused me to boycott watching NFL football until the NFL starts to seriously crack down on players' unprofessional on-field behavior. I'll stick with college football in the meantime.
