  • how about the NFL gets off its "high horse"

    ... when we all stop apologizing for scumbags whose entourages shoot people. And paralyzes some. Deal?

    Assuming, of course, that police forces across the country are not just punishing them for the trivial non-offense of "shooting a firearm outside an Atlanta strip club at 4:00 a.m. while black."

    Don't get me wrong: I'm fairly certain that there's a goodly share the men in blue who hound these guys constantly for being "wealthy and irresponsible while black." Which is, of course, wrong. But you're gonna have a hard time finding people who will apologize for the kind of behavior Mr. Jones and his associates seem to revel in (or certainly don't make a scintilla of effort to avoid).

    And on a personal note, RealName: who peed in your Wheaties lately? You've been awfully (and at times, irrationally)curmudgeonly of late. Lighten up, man.
