I am in no way indicting Tyron. From everything written, it doesn’t sound like he did anything wrong, but I wasn’t there. The above is more about the fact that many players, stars or not, put themselves in compromising positions, their fault or not.

I also would like to state I am rooting for Tyron to be a huge part of the Chiefs this year, and I sincerely hope he is OK. It just gets so tiring to hear about gifted players getting into trouble, whether they mean to or not.

Something needs to change in NFL culture. If you, as a member of society, cannot go out like everyone else, and not get into trouble there is something wrong. You either need to be aware of it (haters), or do some private partying.

Future Hal of Famer Marvin Harrison is a perfect example. Regardless of your intentions, the situation dictates your potential peril.

A more appropriate military analogy than above would be:

Even when US Military are in friendly foreign countries, we know the local populace regard us as loud and unruly. So, when we do go out, we are real targets (see Germany, Colombia, Israel, Lebanon, Bahrain, Seoul, etc.). We are obvious as Americans, somewhat hated or envied, perceived to make more money, yet we usually stay low key and know when to walk away. Or at least realize a contingent in the establishment is going to challenge us.

It just isn’t that hard to do. It angers me more when it happens to a player I like, regardless of fault.

The thing is, you’re given lots of discipline and guidance while being trained properly. These guys are just trained to be athletes. I’m not saying you should allow this kind of behavior, but it definitely is expected that some of the NFL youngin’s would do this kind of stupid crap. These guys get paid too much for their own good. We should cut their pay and give the extra to the armed forces. They don’t get as much credit as they should. I would never be able to do the stuff that they do…
