	Do you think the NFL should use players as examples like Chad Johnson, Pac man Jones and Terrel Owens? Players whom continue to run their mouths and still don't help their teams to the SUPER BOWL. I feel they should make them sit out for a season to see if that will teach them to be a team player. there are 10 other starting players that manage to do so.

	Perhaps we should just eliminate freedom of speech, turn in our guns and prohibit the sale of alcohol too!

	So you didn't think that suspending PacMan a whole season set an example.

	Its funny that anytime someone wants to mentionn "Troubled Atheletes" they always want to include Terrell Owens in this list. They are now starting to include Chad Johnson in this list of so-called troubled atheletes. Here is the thing, neither Terrell or Chad has had any legal trouble in their profession. Pacman on the other hand has had all kinds of legal issues (none convicted though). You mentioned that TO runs his mouth. Tell me something.....if the camera or the microphone wasnt there, who would he run his mouth to? The sports media uses a microscope when it comes to dealing with atheletes that THEY feel should just "shut up".

	So you didn't think that suspending PacMan a whole season set an exampleWe don't know yet. Hopefully for the sake of the team he's going to . All I'm saying is that NFL players are role models to millions of children around the world. I know the media exposes them more, but every reason why not to act like they do.

	The best roll models, however, are good parents. If parents are doing their job, it shouldn't be that big of an issue, in fact, if they're doing their job, it's likely kids won't see the mega mouths at work.

	I think that the NFL, MLB and NBA take young people that don't have the life experence to always make the right decisions give them large amounts of money and then turns them loose on the world. They need to take some of that money and teach the young players how to handle life.
