I don't understand the bit about the NFL taking any action. This happened prior to the draft. The NFL allowed a team to draft him and didn't have any stipulations on his status when he was drafted right?. Personally I dont think the NFL has the right to do anything. I think they waved their rights. As far as making a poor decision or being stupid... that's alcohol. Alcohol has made many people look stupid, including myself. (well, stupider) Mix that with an emotional response and their goes all rational thought and good judgement. He seems like a standup kid. I agree that probation makes sense.
