Another one bites the dust!
Has the Detroit Lions become the Cincinnati Bengals of the
NFL? From Johnny Culbreath, to Mikel Leshoure, to Nick Fairley, and now Aaron
Berry.
All of these players have been busted by the police for
either DUI convictions, or possession of marijuana convictions. In Leshoure’s
case, he had the audacity to try and stuff the marijuana down his throat as the
cops approached his vehicle.
When will the time come when Detroit Lions upper-management
drops the hammer and makes an example out of one of these millionaire players?
In my opinion, it will probably never happen because it’s all about the W’s
baby! W’s is short for winning, and winning takes precedence over any and
everything in most instances.
The Detroit Lions finally has a team worthy of watching
after returning from church service on Sundays. They are one of the up and
coming teams in the NFL. Cutting one or more of these players will interrupt
their ambition of making the playoffs this year and “possibly” making a run at
a Super Bowl. Leshoure, Fairley and Berry are key components to this team, and
cutting them is not an option.
Is it just a matter of these players thinking that they are
above the law? Many people think this is probably the case. Is it the player’s
fault, or is it our fault (the fans), who put these players on a pedestal, and
also draw a blind eye to the fact that they are only human just like the rest
of us.
The upcoming season has just become even more interesting
than before. The Lions will either come closer together as a group because of
these unfortunate incidents, or they will crash and burn because of the
distractions that it will surely bring.
Stay tuned!
