Jamal Lewis

What a life ... to play a game for a living in the highest stakes league that there is. What a rush it must be. But I guess it isn't enough for Jamal Lewis. He needs to buy drugs ... I would assume to use them himself ... but in any case, he admitted that he tried to arrange the deal.

What happens? He gets a four month sentence ... at the end of the season? How does the justice system work? Well, he can't go to jail now as he would miss the rest of the season and I guess that wouldn't be fair. The concept of justice for all is skewed. The league itself only gave him a 2 game suspension. That's a great signal to the rest of the players what will or will not be tolerated. The statement that the commissioner issued regarding the damage that was caused reminds me of chastising a young child (although with a few larger words) rather than actually taking a stand on this type of behavior by a player.

He should have been suspended during the season for as long as his jail term. I guess Ray Lewis referred his teammate to a good lawyer.

More on Jamal Lewis and another story I hadn't heard ...

I just read here that Jake Plummer was fined $5000 for a small sticker in honor of Pat Tillman, a former teammate of Plummer's. What a sad joke.
