I say ban Hurd from playing pro football for life. Give him a healthy dose of the Pete Rose syndrom.

But this sure makes Pete Rose look like an angel. At least drugs weren't his downfall.

Pete Rose was once interviewed on a local radio station in L.A. a few years back and one of the interviewers brought up some sports scandal going on at the time and Rose responded with something along the lines of "yeah, well they just sell or use drugs, beat their women, get involved in gang thuggery, etc. At least they arent betting on games outside of their sport..." More than a little irony/sarcasm and a whole lot of truth. I think the uber-pious attitude of MLB should be ratcheted back a notch and give Pete a break. In the next few years, there are going to be players inducted into MLBs Hall of Fame who aren't a fraction of the player he was or have the records he has...

As for the NFL and the NBA, consider this: it is very possible some of the future inductees to their respective Halls of Fame are players who are going through or will go through some rather serious scandals (wanna bet the 'rehabilitated' Michael Vick doesn't end up in the NFL HoF?)...
