I really don't care how much they get paid as much as the way they conduct themselves. Are they rap stars or professional athletes?

I'm pretty sure Plax thought he was above the law, and as I seem to remember, that's what his defense team tried to play on, but the NYC legal system wouldn't let him. And then there's Chris Henry with his legal troubles and subsequent tragic death, Santonio Holmes and his drug suspension for the coming season and Donte Stallworth returning from his legal troubles. And yet, Terrell Owens is considered a bad guy and has done nothing like what the previously mentioned WR's have done.
