I'll agree with you on the public intox charges for the kid from Prairie City (Brandon Myers) and the kid from Collins (long-snapper), but they're the exception to what is fast becoming a sad rule. I'm as big a Ferentz supporter as you'll find on this board, but his staff is obviously a little lax on completing their due diligence on these kids (and Kirk's allowing it to happen).
You nailed it. The guys getting in trouble are the rough crowd. The situation won't change until there are some real consequences for these type of actions. Ferentz has dropped the ball time after time when given an opportunity to clean up the ship.
