Shaun Ellis - busted for marijuana
In my opinion, the NFL has an issue with players getting busted for drinking and driving. Considering the privileged few that qualify to play in the NFL and the amount of times we hear about NFL players getting busted for DUI, the proportion of NFL players getting arrested for DUI seems much higher than the general population.
Last week, Giants WR Steve Smith did that and got robbed at gunpoint when he was brought home. But to me, it's shocking that players don't hire car services considering how much money they have. I always think to myself why risk a DUI...
Shaun Ellis is doing his part to prevent drinking and driving among NFL players. Instead of driving and driving, he smokes pot before getting behind the wheel.
Eric Mangini and the Jets didn't suspend Ellis, but I wouldn't be surprised if Roger Goodell does.

"It's obviously a mistake," the New York Jets defensive end said Friday. "It's something I have to deal with. Of course, my teammates are brought in the middle of this, but we'll move past it and I will be responsible and just move on and look forward to the rest of the season."Ellis was also charged with speeding and driving without insurance. I have no comment about the speeding except to say that I always drive 24 mph in a 25-mph zone. Don't you? But to drive without insurance? With a $3,077,059 salary, why???
