    Shaun Ellis got arrested on multiple charges, including possession, speeding and driving without insurance, and he was uncooperative with the police. That probably had something to do with the suspension.

    regardless of the idiocy that Ellis displayed that day, Maulaga should be suspended. A DUI is a DUI, its stupid, uncalled for and should be showed much less leiniancy in the real world that it does.

    Im just making a point, I know it doesnt matter for the Jets know.A DUI is disgusting and spent time in rehab because he was sorry that he got caught. He knew the only way to avoid suspension is by doing that. He should have been suspended at least 2 games. Goodell trys to hold the NFL to higher standards and gets after the players for evey little thing including TD celebrations. THIS IS A DUI, people are killed from these decisions on a daily basis. 40000 is chump change for these guys.

    I wonder if Tony Dungy thinks the commissioner ought to call Maualuga and talk to him about this kind of behavior.

    Donte Stallworth barely got a slap on the wrist for murdering a man.

    Who knows wtf Goodell is thinking

    He killed a guy who was jaywalking. Sure, Donte was drunk, but that dude is alive if he doesn't try and cross 6 lanes of traffic at rush hour. If Stallworth didn't kill him, someone else would've. I'm not defending Stallworth, but he was driving 50 in a 40, not erratically, and it's not like you can stop short in traffic.

    or he had a problem and got help? ... im sure youve never driven drunk before. and when your friends do, you march up to their bosses and demand they be suspended :rolleyes:

    stop worrying about the next mans wallet ... youll live a happier life

    Never worried about his wallet, someone else referenced the fine. When you get paid millions of dollars to play a game your automatically held to higher standards. Your life is under a microscope until you are out of the NFL. This guy is a clown who could have easily taken a taxi home.

    a life is a life, if youre so worried about peoples safety then it shouldnt matter who the culprit is ... stop bringing up what he does

    he is an alcoholic so clearly he wasnt making good decisions ... i havent heard of too many alcoholics that call cabs
