The other athlete examples you mention do not factor into this, mainly because they are in another league and not subject to the NFL's personal conduct policy.

Again, I know this. But who defines and how is the "Personal Conduct Policy" defined? Big Ben hasn't yet done near the damage to the league's reputation that Al Davis has done. What about the off-field antics of Terrell Owens? Jerry Jones? This whole system is very inconsistent and operated on the whims and mood of one person and I think that's dangerous.
