Paul, just look around at professional sports in general and tell me most of these guys wouldn't be in jail - if not for sports? Ray Lewis, Pac Man Jones, Chris Henry, Dave Parker, Orlando Cepeda, Kobe Bryant, OJ Simpson, etc...Honestly, if I could sit down and research this, it would be astonishing. Every single day, I see some player connected to drugs, murder, rape, etc. Yeah, they go through the court system. But, honestly, if not for their career in sports and reputation, they would actually be convicted or at least convicted to a higher degree. Most just get a slap on the wrist. And the reference to 'flipping burgers' for a living. I will always remember Dexter Manley admitting he could not read or write, yet he somehow had a bachelor's degree from Oklahoma State. Go figure..
