Another who killed a man while drunk(Dante Stallworth). One had two dui's and could get banned if he ever gets his third(Jared Allen) Not to mention numerous other assaults from players. Coaches punching other coaches(Tom Cable in Oakland) Or outright cheating(Belicheat) And this is from who loves the NFL. But their image was took a hit before Rush even considered this bid.

Was that a real question, DAR?

I don't like the guy but after this episode I'm pretty sure that I dislike the NFL even more than him.
