For a first time offense of the league's personal conduct policy (convictions or guilty pleas) the penalty is 1-4 games, commissioner's discretion. Based on his past rulings 2 games is the norm.. I highly doubt the Redskins will add anything more to the league suspension..

Taylor's father is a police chief in Florida City, FL (south of Miami) but I don't know how much of a relationship they have.. The article posted recently seemed like his mother and grandmother were his primary parental influences. I seem to recall reading that his parents were divorced or split up (if never married) shortly after his birth. If he didn't have much or a good relationship with his father that could be a reason why he seems to buck the system..
