Great book suggestion: "Pro's and Con's: Criminals who play in the NFL"
Lots of info on the law-breaking idiots(on ALL teams) who have played in the NFL. Dallas and Ravens just have had some more than others. All the other fans who point out our not-so-squeaky clean past are also those looking for their first superbowl. Jealousy can get ugly!
A new forum opened up! Read about the latest "Great Debate" where YOU ask the questions. You lucky VIP, you.

-If you are convicted of a crime when you are a memebr of the Ravens, then you can hurt their morale.
-If you are convicted of a crime when you are a member of another team, then join the ravens, it doesn't matter.
Therefore, I don't care if Samari Rolle did some crap, because he wasn't on the Ravens. And it will probably only make him stronger on the inside.
Good logic, except for one thing... THE RAVENS KNEW HE BEAT HIS WIFE WHEN THEY SIGNED HIM. Of course it hurts the image... reputation procedes with the player, not the franchise. Too many players (90s Cowboys, 00 Ravens) on one team makes for a bad team reputation.
Oh, and I am questioning also why beating your wife would make you stronger on the inside.

Thank you! Who gives a crap, Ravens, Cowboys, it can all be thrown out the window. The fact is, you defend a wife beater. Rolle is getting off light, and it has nothing to do with his team, and everything to do with what's wrong with all professional sports anymore: athletes arent held accountable for their actions.
I'll believe Rolle is a changed man as soon as I believe Ricky Williams actually wants to play football. He got off way too easy just like Randy McMichael who hit his pregnant wife while intoxicated. But apparently, alcohol is an excuse for any behavior, just ask Leonard Little.
haha ya MTR somehow I dont think domestic violence makes someone stronger on the inside.
A teams reputation eh? I dont think you can look down on the Baltimore Ravens because they happen to have some convicts on their team. It's not like they sign these guys because they are convicts. Rolle is a great player. Ray Lewis is a great player. Jamal Lewis is a great player. I think the Ravens keep these guys around because of that, not because they are all jail buddies.

Good post... really.
actually we didnt know that he beat his wife when he signed. he wasnt actaully convicted or whatever when he signed...
besides we have a history of turning players around who have had some troubles in the past. i gotta say, whatever anger they channel into football seems to work out...
by the way, good post... hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa
