Watch the Canadian Football League...our game is much more interesting; way less money involved(the average CFL player makes about 50 grand a year); we have cool rules, a bigger field; a policy banning any player under suspension by another league and Canadian Customs often has some issues with letting convicted felons into the country.

There was a great/scary book about all the idiots that had some kind of criminal background/record that played in the NFL...I'll have to look for the title....32 convicted felons? The stats regarding all the OTHER crimes where the charges are dismissed or reduced is staggering!

Look at the dates then think about about how many players are in the league and what the average span of days between each incident.
