Thugs Win:
Tank Johnson and Randy Moss, along with a small army of experienced or would be street thugs, are doing just fine in the NFL. So is Bill Bellicheat, a smart but ethically clueless coach. The three mentioned are all making an impact on Superbowl contending teams. That is conceptually ok, I guess, since Tank has done his jail time, Randy mostly just mouths out his thugness, and Bellicheat's exposed actions are a threat to the power's that be in the NFL. No forfeiture of any game for Bellicheat, or anything for punishment expect monetary fine, the one measure of punishment emminently affordable and tolerable to him. The goal is always to protect the image of football. No need to be fair, open, or ethical about matters that relate to corporate management---management of a very secret sort. Meanwhile, Ricky Williams is still in exile, with no end in sight.
Conclusion: ganstas over ganja. This is the NFL in '07. Sign of the times.
