From what I have seen and have read, the NFL has mandatory programs in place that all players have to attend. It's starts with draftees and continues at the team level. Most teams also have their own programs in place and a person from their organization that helps with player programs.Heck, the NFL "confidential limo"  program has been in place for years, where players can call a limo on the NFL dime any time they're too drunk to drive. Yet, we all know every season there are drunk driving charges against players.Something else we don't talk about is the player union's role in all of this. The union collectively bargins with money and only money in mind. They push for less punishment and less rules. People let them off the hook but they are the biggest hurdle when it comes to setting strict rules in place. That's a fact Jack.I totally agree it would be great to have a third party handle discipline. I do think however our legal court system could be the ultimate arbiter in most cases. Much of this should be simple. Set guidelines for offenses and it would be black and white what the punishment would be accordingly. The  third party person could decide on what happens in the time before the case goes to court.</blockquote>
