Roland S. Martin nails it...

Very well done editorial by Roland S. Martin as a CNN Commentary on Pro athletes must leave their pasts behind. I highly recommend you read this piece since he makes some very valid statements, realizing that for many of these pro players they have friends from their past there comes a time when they have to make some choices.

There is quite a bit of outrage concerning the dog fighting aspect of this, well deserved, dog fighting is a cruel and inhumane way for people to get their violence and betting jollies...

    Hey, BP, you're wrong.

    Jamal Lewis was a running back for the Baltimore Ravens when he was sentenced to federal prison.
