The Rooneys can't be too happy with their newest addition to their team.

Well, I'm sure it'll make up for it if Rooney gets the NFL presidency.

Still a few more arrests to go
Then admit he "takes plays off"
THEN admit he smokes marijuana
THEN he'll be just like your boy Randy Moss.

Moss was at least in the league and a star before he did most of that stuff. I bet the Steelers are wishing they would've taken LenDale White now.

Im sorry, but being drunk isn't that big of a crime, yes what he did was against the law, but at least he wasn't driving or anything dumb like that. Im sure the Rooney's didn't like the fact, but they're not going to murder the guy for it.

So the kid gets drunk and gets into a little fiasco. He didn't suffer a career-ending injury. Most people have forgotten all about this already. I'm sure they're really wishing they didn't draft him.

Some interesting points on this from this site:
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsbu ... 56030.html
"I've never heard of that, a first-time offender getting 60 days," Hernandez said of Holmes, who had a disorderly conduct charge dismissed his freshman year at Ohio State.
A fine or probation, at most, is more realistic, Hernandez said, adding that on many other weekends Holmes might not have been arrested. Police are extra vigilant at the Urban Beach event, the largest gathering of the year at Miami Beach.
"This is a minor charge; this is nothing," Hernandez said. "It means more to the celebrity, the sports star, the actor, than to the average Joe. To the average Joe, this is nothing. The ramifications aren't that great. But for a celebrity, there are more ramifications (due to publicity). Different things can happen negatively to you."
and
The difference between Holmes and Arenas, according to Hernandez, is that Holmes was "humble" and "apologetic" after being arrested, while Arenas, according to reports, said, "You can't arrest me. I'm a basketball player for the Washington Wizards, and I'm not going to leave my teammate."
I think he'll be fine.
