ATHLETIC ASSHOLES

[Cutz]

...and I'd just like to add that the same guy who suspended Ray Rice for two games once suspended a player for an entire season for using pot.

Who decides how a player who gets arrested or otherwise busted is to be penalized within the NFL? Is it the team coach, team owner, the league commissioner, some committee?

I'm finding the politics and behind-the-scenes of pro football interesting.

Thanks to you and Cutz for answering my questions.

Basically it's some committee. The commish has power to override I think, but he doesn't deal with every incident. If it were up to teams, they'd all be suspending players for 1 play.
