Now I know Carson's as clean as they come so he probably wouldn't be suspended but that's beside the point. |
Or Steeler player (now former) could join with his posse to attack a Bengal player in a casino, steal his jewelry (which was anonymously returned) and only be fined a couple game checks, but allowed to play.
