And if he didn't then there should be no reprocussions. The Bears decided to let him go because he got pulled over late one night - kinda over the top, no?
Anyone else in agreement?

I'm a rabid Bears fan, and I know that they're a better team with him on the field. That said, he's had quite a few run ins with the law, and this happened within a short time of promising the commissioner of the league that there was nothing to worry about. The higher ups on the team went to bat with the commissioner for him, promising that he had changed and wouldn't have any problems whatsoever. He just made all of them look like idiots. A few months ago, he had also gone before Jerry Angelo and made a series of promises that these sort of incidents would never happen again, and those promises are what kept him from being cut before. At this point, he's becoming too much of a distraction for the rest of the team. it's really a shame to lose him, but he did it to himself. He knew that he was on thin ice, and he decided to ignore the warnings.
