I don't give two poops about football or the man, but football is no different than any other job out there.. except that it is less respectable than just about anything you need a degree for.

So what if he committed crimes? Who in football these days hasn't committed felonies? (seriously, the whole sport is made up of corrupt bad-guys) He plead guilty to state AND federal charges, and served his time. He shouldn't have to pay for it MORE simply because he is well-known.
So, we should like everyone who comes out of prison because they "served their time"? Great thinking. Or, just the extraordinary football players. I really don't know why its so wrong to not support the guy.

I think their are some crimes that are just unforgivable. What he did is one of them. He did give a lot of national attention to dog fighting. Whether it was good or bad we will see. I bet we see more of it happening. It's only two years, and obviously not a serious crime. As long as we serve our time, we can do it, and nobody will really care.

To me - pathetic.
