He's been told this morning not to come in for practice....or anything else for that matter. Any big bucks pro career he may have had is gone.

Sweet! I just read the latest article about him that was released today. PETA gathered and started protesting (no one can stop them). He's not going to pre-season, the NFL is reviewing him, and he's going to have to stand trial. It'd make my day if he gets 5 years in prison. Something tells me though that his lawyer is probably one of the best in the country and will get that down. Anyways, his career is ruined, so yipee! Seriously, if you're getting paid 6 figure don't you have anything better to do?

He's obviously a very sadistic person. In a sense many of us are, but still I don't think he'll be able to pin this on mental illness. But, yes I do think he's not mentally reasonable.

You don't want to know what I think of professional athletes in general. :evil:

That guy should be should be strung up by his achilles tendons and lowered into a dog fighting pit full of angry hungry dogs.

That's such a foul "sport". I'm glad the NFL has FINALLY taken some responsibility for the criminals it has, I'm so sick of seeing athletes getting arrested for assault and then being suspended for two games or so because the success of the franchise is so much more important that sending a message to viewers and other teammates. Well I'm glad they picked such a scumbag to make their example out of. He should be given loads of fines, I say fine the hell out of his earnings from football and then send him to jail.

And as for mentally ill, I don't know his profile, but I think a nice mix of narcissism and lack of respect/ ignorance towards animals would fit him well.

Online petitions don't really work they need to get a hand signed one they are more effective.
