The most notable element of the NFL off-season has been the arrests of various players (and most recently, Fox's Bill Maas - YAY!). Obviously, the media's focus on off the field issues is warranted in many cases, but if you had been comatose for 20 years and just came to, you'd think the NFL was a maximum security prison filled with Neanderthals.
The Rams have stayed relatively clean on that front, not withstanding last week's arrest for once-troubled defensive tackle Claude Wroten. By all accounts, Wroten form tackled his ex-girlfriend's door and will be charged with a misdemeanor, which indicates a tiny slap on the wrist will await him. Or does it?
"The league just suspended Dominic Rhodes for 4 games because of a DUI. He blew a .09. The DUI was dropped and he pled guilty to reckless driving. That's quite a suspension compared to what a DUI used to get a player... So, if you're looking at a sliding scale, with a DUI, er, reckless driving (under the influence) being four games, shouldn't Chris Henry be suspended for more than just sixteen games?"
I'd be shocked if Roger Goodell and his enforcers clamped down on Wroten for more than 4 games, but in today's NFL, I guess I shouldn't be surprised by anything (nice contradiction there, Imig). There is one bright spot in all of this, though: if Wroten is suspended, it'll give the coaching staff copious amounts of time to gloat about how improved Claude is on the field.
Claude Wroten: please report to the principal's office.
