So the next cop I see I walk down and point at him cursing at the top of my lung and callin him every bad name in the book.

Now I coulda got arrested for that, and if say a player got arrested for that would it be a big deal? Or would something like bein drunk in public and bein abraisive or something like that be a big issue?

Sorry to hear about your start to the New Year.

In response, I would just say that if someone gets arrested for cursing and pointing at a police officer, regardless of the reason, they made the choice to get arrested. Them's the rules, man.

If a player got arrested for that, yes, to me that's a big deal, because it's a clear lack of respect for authority. And in a TEAM game, the authority (coaches, owner, etc.) should be respected.

I realize that "**** happens", but it doesn't have to happen in your example.

I see this heading down a bad path for me, so I'll again just agree to disagree. At the end of the day, I just want guys playing for my Oakland Raiders who WANT to PLAY for the Raiders, and make sure that they don't take that opportunity away with their own selfishness or foolishness.

Peace.
