Ray Lewis' teammate Shannon Sharpe ripped Wheaties for leaving Lewis' photo off a cereal box that included other members of the Super Bowl-winning team. The team terminated him, but the union went to bat and successfully argued that Sprewell's firing violated his contract. A quick firing awaits most employees who attempt to choke their boss. But this is sports. As for Sprewell, he now toils for a better team, in a bigger city, and makes more money.
Life is good.
Tough to find good relief pitchers, you know. And in last year's Super Bowl, St. Louis Rams linebacker Leonard Little played. Earlier that season, Little pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter for driving under the influence and causing an accident that resulted in the death of a St. Louis mother. Ninety days in jail, but the judge allowed Little to serve some time on work release. For both boys and girls.
