I’m sorry.. but I call Bull Pucky.

I get a lot of grief because I have been saying that sure, the guy did a horrible horrible thing and did the time that the current legal system allows and now he goes back to his job, just like every other American. I don’t think athletes should be held to a higher standard because they are in the public eye. Everyone should be equal in the eyes of the law.. that’s just how I feel and I know a lot of you feel differently. If he wasn’t punished enough then the system failed.

**climbs down from soap box**

That being said, the dude turned his life around and worked with the Human Society (don’t get me started on them) because HE HAD TO. This was not a decision on his part. He had no choice.

Bull Pucky.. it stinks.
