1. 1. What did you do?

    Okay, okay, just breathe. This may not be so bad. We just need to know a few more things.

  2. 2. Did you apologize publicly?

    Hmm...okay, remember, this is a crucial step. The media frames the story, and our decision will be affected by how they portray you.

  3. 3. How carefully constructed is your off-field persona?

    Here’s the deal: If you put in the effort to be a good guy in the offseason, we can probably be more lenient in your punishment.

  4. 4. Are you a famous player who brings the NFL millions of dollars in revenue through merchandise, appearances, and ticket sales?

    While popular and talented players receive the most public attention, the majority of people still want to see their favorite players complete impressive athletic acrobatics on the field each week, and will look the other way for them.

  5. 5. Is the nature of your infraction, and the manner in which you committed it, great fodder for scathing op-eds and thinkpieces?

    Hmm...

  6. 6. All right, this one’s important: Were you videotaped?

    Hmm...

    How could you let yourself be videotaped while committing a crime? How could you not pre-plan photo ops of you making things right? How could you not hire a team of media professionals to spin this story the correct way? You are truly a disgusting human being.
