USA Today looks to the upcoming NFL season with a front-page story about the rougher side of football.  The league had a particularly ugly offseason.  Active players were arrested or charged with crimes 37 times, including 10 drunk driving cases. And a murder indictment. NFL players are arrested at a rate of about one a week. Asked to address the issue, Commissioner Roger Goodell had this to say, “You’re still dealing with young men, individuals who are bound to make mistakes.”
