You know this is the kind of stuff that pisses me off. You reward a player with a big contract and he pays you back by not coming to practice, being a prima donna, and a total distraction to the team. All contracts should have a behavior clause to keep players from pulling this kind of crap.

I think a lot of them do. I'm not too well versed on player conduct clauses, but I know there are a lot of behaviors that will void a contract, many of which involve situations where a player knowingly puts themselves in danger of bodily harm. They usually include acitivities like motorcycles/ATVs, skiing, other sports in the offseason, stuff like that. Not sure if sticking a loaded gun down your pants with the safety off is on that list.....
