I am sure everyone wishes that the truth will set us free. Suppose they just suspend him now. I imagine the Packers had to consult the League and the Legal Departments, too. If he is convicted it is a done deal. If he is acquitted we are looking at not only back pay but some major lawsuits because PT is paramount to an NFL player since the life span is so short. A year or two out of the sport can essentially end someones career or greatly subtract from future performance.It is safe to say that although Paul Hornung came back to play 3 more seasons with the Packers after his suspension, and they were not bad years, it is safe to say that he was not the same player he was before. The one year of age was not the difference but the absence of game repetition and conditioning certainly had a major impact.</blockquote>
