I think they would've taken a lot more heat if they sat on their hands.

Why? Don't you stick by your teammates thru thick and thin? Would people have held it against them if they said "innocent until proven guilty, we are sticking by our guy?"
But, in typical Patriots fashion, they don't want nothin to do with you when the going gets rough.

You are "innocent til proven guilty" only in a court of law. Not in the court of public opinion, and an employer is under no obligation to stick by "their" guy. This wasn't petty theft or even a DUI. It's murder. Good riddance. Kudos to the Patriots to the quickness of the decision.

Funny to read all of this defiant defense of due process and presumed innocence from SRU when contrasted against his stated policies at the proposed SRU Downs.

I suppose, because there's a good chance he will never play in another NFL game.

He will 'retire' a New England Patriot and go up on the wall of shame with all the other crooks and cheaters.

Some of you maybe saw this already. According to U-T San Diego, 28 NFL players have been arrested just since this years February 3rd Super Bowl. Roger doesn't talk any about it. But, seems like a lot.

Probably 26 are for DUI/domestic disturbance. In the past, chances are half or more of those wouldn't even result in arrest. Getting busted has never been easier.

well, there are 1,696 players on rosters (32 teams x 53 players), so 28 is 1.65%. That's 16 arrests for every 1,000 players. Not sure if that's a lot or not considering that these guys probably came from poor beginnings and now have wealth beyond compare. That combo makes for bad situations oftentimes when a posse gets involved.
