You hit the nail on the head! It's the OJ syndrome. Most of these elite athletes have been given a pass on a multitude of things from the time they were in high school.Because most of them think they are above the law.

He is a 3rd string at best RB, he wont make much money. Well for pro sports anyway, a few hundred K for a handful of years.
That being said, its pot. Its not really that big of a deal imo. He got busted, will have to do whatever is asked of him, and maybe given the Colts stance on stuff like this may get fired. Who knows.
League minimum for 2011 is $340,000. I'd say that isn't too bad even if you don't see the field. Even if you made the active roster for a team for a couple years and were smart about your money, you'd be fine if you ended up cut and working a "normal" job.
i bet the percentages of people on here would shock people. so would the percentages of police, politicians, soldiers, firefighters, doctors, lawyers, judges, etc etc etc.I bet the percentage of smokers in the lockout right now might shock some of you.
Athletes and "smart about money" = head explosion
OK........it may be true that these professional athletes are, in some sense, in the public eye.... and supposed to be a 'role model' for Americas youth. Beyond that, how many of our impressionable youth (to be influenced)... ever really even heard of this guy. Really!? And let's face it...... probably 40% or more of Americas 'impressionable youth'.... of the age to be familiar with these pro-NFL players, have already, themselves, indulged in smoking marijuana..... even in grade school. Just do an internet search, on the subject......
This is (IMHO), a 'slap-on-the-wrist' kind of offense.... that will likely be dismissed (who knows)..... and not cost this guy his job with the Colts (altho I can see a possible suspension, by either the Colts or the NFL league).... but even that has some legality issues, due to the current NFL lock-out.
Despite his obvious public expression of his Christian faith, as an NFL team owner..... who here believes that Mr Irsay never "toked up"? Ever witnessed any of his "play-off" antics, costumes and 'contests'? Irsay has seen a few 'buds' up close and personal..... in my judgement.
Wrong...pro athletes should NOT be role models for kids. Parents and other QUALITY adults that the kids actually know should be the role models. Parents need to stop letting the TV raise their kids. It is so silly that parents think their kids should look up to someone that they've never met. Sure, they can strive to play in a similar style but that should be where it ends. If someone from the television is someone that you want your kids to idolize, maybe it is best that you aren't their role model...maybe you should work on yourself until YOU can be their role model.
I think he should get a pay raise.

Yeah.... OK. I'm not here to preach or even to discuss religion (it's against the rules). But I stand by my post and I'll just leave it there.

I tried. It's just not as fun on a computer screen. Plus, it's pretty small.

I hope this comment isn't directed at me. Because my kids are grown and married; 2 have graduated college; and they are all doing just fine.... as I raised them to have Christ as their role model.
