Sure has been a long look. It's week 2... teams aren't exactly knocking down his door. They had all offseason to look into him.

He may or may not get signed, who knows. My point is he was a pariah and now teams have and are looking at him. I have learned to never say never when it comes to the NFL.

I hear what you're saying on 2nd chances, he probably just isn't the best example since he's still waiting for that 2nd chance. He also didn't beat a woman on camera.

True. The video is the whole thing in this case.

I still cant get past the fact that the cops had the Rice video and barely batted an eyelash yet the media has turned it into one of the worst things ever done by an NFL player.

The power of images.
This reminds me of Desmond Hague, the puppy kicking CEO that ended up getting fired. At first the board of his company punished Hague and required him to serve 1,000 hours of community service and donate $100,000 towards the creation of an organization dedicated to protecting animals. The public outcry was so intense after they announced the punishment that they ended up having to fire him.
His company was a sports catering company that served some NFL stadiums.

The other one is the new Ferguson video that shows the two contractors raising their arms and saying "his arms were up and they still shot him", as they were watching the shooting. That is going to be hard for the policeman's defense team to overcome.
