I am going to disagree with you on this one. Mike has just gotten caught more often. Maurkice was the one who publicly apologized for the Free Hernandez Hat incident last year while Mike just did nothing. I think you are clearly lumping them together and generalizing because they are twins. Maurkice and Mike don't do everything together (what pair of twins do at that age?) and just because one gets in trouble more doesn't mean they are both doing the same things. I am not just trying to be a homer here and trying to defend a player from my team. This is simple logic and you seem to be ignoring it in light of your own personal preferences and assumptions. He apologized because he was told to by the Steelers, I can't prove that, but it's common sense. I'm not going to credit him or discredit Mike because the Dolphins aren't as well run. And I'm glad your guy gets the benefit of the doubt on who he rubs with as opposed to Gordon or Johnny.

Neither Pouncey was involved in the incident according to the police report. Clearly the guy was an attention whore.

Mike Pouncey although a great player is a giant moron and I would be happy to see him traded, I doubt his brother is much better as it seems they are constantly together in the off-season.

Believable because they are famous, not based on logic. Innocent until proven guilty Jin. Whether or not you like the guy, you cannot make assumptions because neither of us or anyone else on this site was there.

Define illegal substances? I'll give you he was driving over the limit, but failed drug tests just means he's using something that's against the league policy. Never heard of any possession charges for either brown. Neither are calling for an accused murderer to be released either.

Neither are calling for an accused murderer to be released either. He was their friend and former college teammate and wasn't yet convicted. You can hardly blame them for trying to defend them. Again, it was also Maurkice who apologized for that and not Mike.

Mike Pouncey although a great player is a giant moron and I would be happy to see him traded, I doubt his brother is much better as it seems they are constantly together in the off-season. The Steelers don't have the option to cut or trade Maurkice with his contract unless something was written up in the contract concerning off-field behavior. That being said, neither Pouncey brother were named in the incident report. Looks like things should be cleared up after next week with the "victim's" testimony and the police looking at the video tape in the club. Multiple witnesses have said that neither were involved.

Neither are calling for an accused murderer to be released either. Well he tested positive for codeine for his first suspension, depends on whether or not you want to believe that he was naive of the fact that it was a banned substance for a sore throat. Many Browns reports said that the story likely was false seeing as his agent would have made sure to tell him that it was a banned substance, and that he was already in the drug program the league would have been doubly sure to let him know that. Then there was all the failed tests, suspensions, and being kicked off multiple teams in college.

Von Miller is getting high on pot. But it's not illegal.
