NFL's Players Conduct Policy

I don't get the "it was a first time offense" argument with regards to Stallworth and Vick?

If the first time you have a run in with the law is when you kill somebody or you slaughter helpless dogs while running an illegal and inhumane gambling den and then you proceed to lie to the Feds as well as the commissioner's face you need to pay. Big time.

Obviously you do not feel that it is a case of "Double Jeopardy", but I do. These men are not only being punished by the Law, but they are being punished again by the commissioner. Is once not enough? We all know that they have to live with those things the rest of their lives...but whatever sure, yeah, just kick a man when he is down, spit in his face and take advantage of his wife while you are at it. As soon as somebody screws up once they should be punished continuously over and over because the rest of us are so all effin perfect.
