September 17, 201412 yr While you are at it break it down between Goodell and his Tagliabue. Goodell took over from Tagliabue on August 8, 2006. As of today, Goodell has served 2,962 days as the NFL Commissioner, and there have been 452 NFL player arrests that occurred in that time period, or an average rate of 1 arrest every 6.55 days. So just more than 1 arrest a week, on average. In the time referenced in the USA Today list, Tagliabue served 2,388 days as the NFL Commissioner, and there were 278 NFL player arrests that occurred in that time period. That averages out to a rate of 1 arrest every 8.59 days, so a little less than 1 arrest a week, on average.
September 17, 201412 yr There were 544 different NFL players arrested in that time period...making 186 of those arrests repeat offenders.

September 17, 201412 yr 336 NFL arrests that specifically cite drugs or alcohol. There are LOTS of charges where alcohol/drugs may have contributed to other charges (domestic violence, assault, disorderly conduct, public urination) but no specific charges were brought up.

September 17, 201412 yr I think there are about 1800 people in the NFL. So that averages out to about 2.88% of players are arrested each season. Sort the list by name and see the players with multiple arrests. Pac Man has been arrested 9 times. Wow.
September 18, 201412 yr The NFL is the only employer I know of where having a criminal record is no barrier to employment! So you've never been a UAW member, huh?
September 18, 201412 yr I think it's funny when some people claim Goodell has cleaned up the NFL and their off field problems.

September 18, 201412 yr Can someone explain to me how Goodell or the NFL in general is to blame for this? Yes, they have to deal with it but these are grown men acting like idiots. You can make the punishments stiffer but they will most likely only curb the repeat offenders. This has to be addressed by the players and the union first. Even then it's not going to change much.
